U.S. July CPI eased from 3.5% to 3.4% YoY and core CPI from 2.6% to 2.5%, both in line with forecasts and showing no fresh upside surprise. Energy fell 1.5% MoM, but shelter drove about two-thirds of the monthly CPI rise, so pressure remains. Alongside a surprise 23,000 drop in July payrolls, the case for another September hike has weakened. Yet inflation is still above the Fed's 2% target, limiting room to ease. Will upcoming PPI and jobs data support a hold or another hike?

U.S. official data showed that the U.S. July CPI year-on-year was 3.4%, in line with expectations and lower than June's 3.5%; Core CPI year-on-year was 2.5%, also in line with expectations but lower than the previous value of 2.6%. Both inflation indicators cooled simultaneously, continuing the decline from 4.2% in May. For the market, the data did not surprise any new inflation increases. However, inflation remains above the Fed's 2% inflation target and has remained above the target for the ninth consecutive month. In other words, the main theme of this data is a slowdown in price momentum, not that inflationary pressures have disappeared; The year-on-year decline has improved the short-term inflation narrative, but there is still a gap to policy targets. The Federal Reserve's federal funds rate is currently at 3.75%, while the policy rates for April, June, and July have all remained at 3.75%. With inflation in line with expectations and continuing to cool, the need for the Fed to continue raising interest rates has diminished; However, CPI remains above the 2% target, and policy may remain cautious about an early shift to rate cuts. #今晚CPI公布, will the pricing for a rate hike in September be rewritten?

🏛️ US CPI RELEASE AHEAD: 3 MACRO SCENARIOS AND THE FATE OF BTC AN DETH! Here’s the deal: when the US CPI data drops, the financial market splits into 3 clear scenarios that you must master to dodge liquidation traps: * Hotter than forecast: Sticky inflation forces the Fed to keep monetary policy tight for longer. Capital flees risk assets, and $BTC could crash 3–8% within hours. Total risk-off! * Cooler than expected: Rate cut expectations explode, and smart money floods into crypto. BTC and ETH rocket 4–10% amid long-side euphoria. * In-line with forecast: The market trades sideways or ranges narrowly under 3%, wrapped in a "sell the news" sentiment before finding its prior trend. My perspective is crystal clear: Never guess numbers before zero hour. Watch Core CPI closely and the violent price action in the first 15 minutes because whales love setting double-sided liquidation traps. Amidst these critical macro scenarios, are you managing risk by scaling down leverage or going all-in to front-run the volatility wave? #CPIToResetFedBets #Gold4400HavenBid #IBITCutsBTCThreshold

CPI coming “in line” does not mean the macro debate is over. The market usually celebrates when inflation avoids a hot surprise, but the Fed does not only look at the headline number. The real pressure is in core inflation, because food and energy can move around quickly while core tells a better story about sticky price pressure. MarketWatch noted that traders were watching core CPI closely, with a core monthly print above 0.35% seen as a bad outcome for inflation risk. That is why an in-line CPI can create a strange reaction. Stocks may breathe for a few hours. Crypto may get a relief bid. Yields may cool slightly. But if core services, shelter, or wage-sensitive categories are still sticky, the Fed does not get a clean green light. The market may price relief first, then reprice patience later. For me, the key is simple: An in-line CPI is not automatically bullish. It only removes the worst-case surprise. The next move depends on whether inflation is actually trending lower or just moving sideways slowly enough to keep the Fed cautious. #CPIInLineFedWatch #AIInfraEarningsWatch #Gold4400HavenBid $BTC $ETH $SNDK

The CPI Relief Is Here. Now The Market Has To Prove It. US inflation came in at 3.4% year over year in July, easing from 3.5% in June and matching expectations. At first glance, that looks supportive for risk assets. But the number itself is no longer the main story. The real question is what traders do with it. $BTC and $ETH remain the first place I’m watching. Bitcoin has been trading around the $64K area while Ethereum remains below the $2K level. A softer inflation print can reduce some pressure around monetary policy expectations. But crypto needs more than a favorable macro headline to start a sustainable rotation. It needs liquidity. It needs volume. And it needs buyers willing to hold positions after the first reaction. That is where the next part of the market becomes interesting. $SOL $BNB $XRP $SUI $APT $AVAX $NEAR $SEI $TIA Layer-1s remain one of the largest battlegrounds for rotating capital. These ecosystems are competing for users, developers, stablecoins, DeFi activity and liquidity. If risk appetite expands after CPI, I want to see whether capital actually moves into these ecosystems or whether traders simply use the first pump to take profit. That distinction can separate a real rotation from a temporary relief rally. DeFi is another sector I’m watching closely. $AAVE $UNI $CRV $PENDLE $JUP $MKR $COMP The interesting thing about DeFi is that it gives us more than price. We can watch lending activity. We can watch trading volume. We can watch liquidity. We can watch yield. If capital starts rotating into DeFi and on-chain activity expands at the same time, the signal becomes much stronger. Infrastructure is another area that could benefit from broader on-chain activity. $LINK $ARB $OP $DOT $ATOM $TIA The market often pays attention to infrastructure after the applications built on top of it become popular. But data, interoperability, scaling and execution remain critical parts of the stack. #CPIToResetFedBets #AIInfraEarningsWatch #Gold4400HavenBid

CPI gave the market some breathing room—but don’t celebrate just yet. 👀 July’s US CPI was broadly encouraging: headline inflation came in at 3.4% YoY, core CPI at 2.5%, and overall price pressures continued to cool. Add in the surprisingly weak non-farm payrolls, and the Fed has fewer reasons to stay aggressive with rate hikes in September. That’s a positive backdrop for US stocks, BTC, and gold. 📈 But here’s the catch: the next inflation problem may not come from CPI—it could come from oil. 🛢️ Brent crude moving toward $90 happened mostly after July ended, so the impact wasn’t fully reflected in the latest CPI data. If the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted and oil prices stay elevated, that pressure could start showing up in the next few inflation reports. So for now, CPI looks friendly. But the next big question is simple: will crude oil cooperate? Because if oil keeps climbing, the inflation story could change very quickly. 👀 #DailyOrbit

BTC & ETH ETF Inflows Return: Institutions Are Buying, But CPI, the Fed, and Hormuz Will Decide the Next Move The crypto market is entering a critical macro phase. Institutional capital is returning, with U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracting approximately $1.1 billion in combined net inflows over the past week. While this signals growing confidence, both $BTC and $ETH remain volatile as investors await the next catalyst. The focus is now on the U.S. July CPI report, scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET on August 12, 2026 (7:30 p.m. Vietnam time). The data could reshape Fed rate-cut expectations within minutes, driving volatility across Wall Street, the U.S. dollar, Treasury yields, and crypto. If inflation comes in below expectations, markets may price in a more dovish Fed, improving liquidity and creating a stronger backdrop for risk assets like $BTC and $ETH. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz continues supporting higher oil prices, keeping inflation risks elevated and limiting the Fed's flexibility. The market is balancing three key forces: • ETF inflows reflect rising institutional confidence. • Softer CPI could strengthen expectations for Fed easing. • Higher oil prices from Hormuz tensions continue fueling inflation concerns. If inflation cools and oil prices stabilize, global liquidity could improve. $BTC may lead the next rally, while $ETH could benefit from institutional adoption, staking, and tokenization. Beyond the majors, $SOL remains well positioned if risk appetite returns, while $OKB could gain from stronger exchange activity and improving liquidity. However, hotter CPI, elevated oil prices, or worsening geopolitical tensions could keep investors cautious and delay the next crypto breakout. The most important signal may not be today's price action, but where institutional capital is positioning before the next macro catalyst.

After CPI coming in at 3.4% , the odds of holding current rates have increased by 8% to now 61.9%! i still believe we gonna see soon a 10-20% cut appearing here. This number will only grow the closer we get to the next FOMC! rate cut or holding rates will be regardless bullish for #bitcoin

🇺🇸 CPI UPDATE — WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR $BTC ? U.S. CPI came in at 3.4%, down from 3.5% previously and exactly in line with expectations. 📉 Cooling inflation = a potentially positive signal for risk assets ₿ $BTC could benefit if liquidity and rate-cut expectations improve. But remember: CPI alone doesn't guarantee a pump or a crash. $BTC price action, Fed expectations and market liquidity will decide the next major move. 🔥 My view: Mildly Bullish — but stay patient and watch the key resistance levels. Trade with a plan, not emotions. DYOR — Not Financial Advice. #CPIInLineFedWatch #AIInfraEarningsWatch #Gold4400HavenBid

CPI Could Reset Fed Bets — Crypto Is Watching Every Move U.S. July CPI is now one of the biggest macro events for the market. It’s not just about inflation anymore — the data could quickly change Fed expectations and cause big moves in $BTC, $ETH, and the wider crypto market. Before the release, expectations were around 0.1% MoM and 3.4% YoY for headline CPI, while Core CPI was expected near 0.2% MoM and 2.5% YoY #CPIToResetFedBets #SECActsAsCLARITYWaits #BTCETHETFFlowsDiverge $BTC $ETH

The U.S. Core CPI dropped to 2.5%, its lowest level in 5 months. The odds of a Fed rate hike have now dropped from 54% to just 38%. The Fed cares more about Core CPI because it excludes short-term price swings in food and energy. Bullish for markets. $BTC
