- *Market Volatility*: CPI data releases can cause significant price swings in both traditional and crypto markets.

- *Liquidity and Risk Sentiment*: High CPI may lead to tighter monetary policy, reducing liquidity and increasing risk-off sentiment, impacting crypto prices.

*Impact on Crypto Markets*

- *Lower CPI*: Can be bullish for crypto, as it strengthens the case for the Fed to cut interest rates, reducing opportunity costs for holding non-yielding assets like Bitcoin and altcoins.

- *Higher CPI*: Can lead to inflation fears, triggering a dip in BTC and ETH as markets price in potential Fed rate hikes.¹
