US CPI data will be released tonight at 21:30, and this could be the most critical market turning point in the recent crypto market.

The market is watching that 2.7 threshold closely. The direction of the breakout will determine the upcoming market rhythm—

If the data falls below 2.7, expectations for rate cuts will immediately heat up, igniting a bullish frenzy. In this scenario, mainstream coins like ZEC, SOL, and XRP often present many chasing opportunities. Conversely, if the data rises above 2.7, the Fed's hawkish stance will further suppress risk assets, and the market should be prepared for storm-level pullbacks. And if the data hovers around 2.7, it will be a tug-of-war between bulls and bears, testing patience the most — rather than operating blindly, it’s better to stay calm, observe the situation clearly, and act once the trend becomes clearer.

The volatility in the crypto market often completely reverses at the moment such data is released. Be prepared and don’t let the market turn catch you off guard.
