Inflation is one of the main macroeconomic factors affecting the crypto market. Today, traders are awaiting the release of consumer price index (CPI) data in the USA. An increase in CPI may put pressure on Bitcoin and altcoins, as the market will factor in a possible tightening of monetary policy. At the same time, a decrease in the indicator may provide a short-term boost.
The key point remains the reaction of major players. Often, it is they who move the market on news. Alpha does not react emotionally — it analyzes where the imbalance in liquidity is.
Today, it is important not just to follow the numbers, but to see how the market interprets them in the first minutes after release. The market reacts not to facts, but to expectations.
