#策略性加码BTC Tonight's US CPI release is less about the data itself and more about a concentrated market sentiment trigger.



Every time CPI is released, you see extreme volatility within 20 to 30 minutes — not because the numbers are particularly magical, but because they instantly activate the entire pricing chain: CPI release → inflation expectations adjustment → reevaluation of Federal Reserve policy direction → dual flow of capital and sentiment. Once this chain is triggered, algorithmic trading, quant strategies, and emotional funds flood in.

The current market consensus expectation is: the US November unadjusted CPI year-over-year is 2.7%.

What if the actual data exceeds 2.7%?
That would mean the cooling of inflation is starting to weaken, or even showing "sticky" characteristics. What would happen? Expectations for rate cuts are forced to delay → the dollar rebounds → risk assets are dragged down → the crypto market is likely to face short-term pressure. Conversely, if the data is ≤2.7%? Inflation continues to approach 2% → the rate cut logic is reinforced → risk appetite recovers → the crypto market gains a window for sentiment recovery.

The market is now in a "tension" state. There will definitely be volatility tonight, but volatility does not equal trend. Many will think this is a moment to bet on intuition or predictions — but they are wrong — this is a moment to focus on position discipline.

A few practical tips:

For those holding positions, now is the time to reduce leverage. For those without positions, wait patiently for the data to come out. In the first few minutes after the release? Never chase — don’t bet on the first candlestick — because that initial volatility is just machine reaction, not real market pricing.

The real focus tonight isn’t "guess the CPI number correctly," but observing how the market re-prices the "rate cut expectations" in this round. The direction of this main thread will determine the rhythm of the crypto market in the coming period.

Only those who can manage their positions well will stay proactive amid volatility. As long as your chips are still in play, you’re still at the table.

To be honest, the first candlestick is always fake; I've learned this lesson the hard way. The key is to stick to your position discipline and not let emotions take over.

I understood the part about reducing leverage—it's just that some people have to gamble within those first few minutes after the data is released, and then there's nothing afterward.

Reducing leverage is the right approach, but how many can actually do it? I think tonight there will be a bunch of people chasing highs and selling lows during the few minutes when the machine is smashing the market.

That's correct. This round is indeed about focusing on position discipline, not guessing. I have already lowered the leverage and am waiting to see how the data reacts to the drop.

Damn, it's the same logic again. Basically, it's betting on whether that guy at the Federal Reserve will continue to cut interest rates... I never touch the machine trading during those twenty minutes. Last time, I chased the first candlestick and got cut for 3,000.

Don't chase after everything; reducing leverage is the key. This round's CPI is a psychological battle, not a technical one.

Basically, it's about who can resist chasing orders, haha. I always get stopped out at the first candlestick.
