About CPIToResetFedBets
July U.S. payrolls fell by 23,000, with May-June revised down by 103,000, initially cutting September hike bets. CME FedWatch now shows ~52% odds of no change and ~48% odds of a 25 bp hike, nearly a coin toss. Today's July CPI is the next test: headline and core CPI are forecast at 0.1% and 0.2% MoM, with annual rates easing from 3.5% to 3.4% and 2.6% to 2.5%. Cooler inflation could revive the weak-jobs case; a hot core print may reprice the dollar, Treasury yields, BTC and ETH.

Why is August the best summer?
This sentence is Frank @qinbafrank's recent judgment on the market.
Last time, Frank and I talked about the SpaceX IPO on the Planet live stream. More than a month has passed, so it's a good time to review: which predictions came true, and what should we focus on now that the lock-up period has started?
But this time, it's not just about SpaceX—
The US stock market has experienced adjustments, AI is starting to diverge internally, but gold is rising again. Is the market still betting on growth, or is it already preparing for risks?
Tonight, the US July CPI will be announced one hour before the live stream. After the data is released, how will US bonds, the dollar, tech stocks, gold, and BTC vote? We'll watch the market reaction directly without guessing the answer in advance.
Tonight at 21:30, Frank × Mercy, see you in the OKX Planet live room.
This time, about one-third of the time will be reserved for real-time comments, so everyone can ask questions directly 😁

CPI To Reset Fed Bets: The Macro Event That Could Decide Crypto's Next Move
The crypto market is approaching one of the most important macro events of the month as the U.S. July CPI report is scheduled for release at 8:30 AM ET (12 August). This inflation report is a key indicator for the Federal Reserve and could reshape expectations ahead of the September FOMC meeting.
The market currently expects headline CPI to rise 3.4% year-over-year, down from 3.5% previously, while core CPI is forecast at 2.5%, suggesting inflation is cooling but remains above the Fed's long-term target.
Scenario 1: CPI Below Expectations (Bullish)
A softer-than-expected CPI would strengthen expectations that the Fed can maintain a more accommodative stance. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar could weaken, encouraging investors to rotate back into risk assets. In this scenario, $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL could outperform as market sentiment improves.
Scenario 2: CPI Meets Expectations (Neutral)
If inflation matches forecasts, the market may experience short-term volatility before shifting focus to upcoming economic data and Fed commentary. Crypto is likely to remain range-bound until a stronger catalyst emerges.
Scenario 3: CPI Above Expectations (Bearish)
A hotter-than-expected inflation reading would reinforce concerns that the Fed may keep monetary policy restrictive for longer. Higher Treasury yields and a stronger dollar could pressure both equities and cryptocurrencies. $BTC may retest key support levels, while altcoins typically face greater downside due to weaker risk appetite.
Institutional investors will also be watching closely. While the initial reaction often occurs within minutes of the CPI release, the more important signal is how the data changes expectations for future Fed policy. Monitoring Treasury yields, the U.S. dollar, and spot ETF flows will provide a clearer picture of crypto's next major trend.

🚨 BTC IS STUCK AT $64K… BUT TONIGHT COULD BREAK THE DEADLOCK. 👀
$BTC has spent most of the day trapped around $63.5K–$64K, with sellers keeping the pressure on.
And now all eyes are on U.S. CPI at 8:30 PM ET.
📊 Expectations:
• Headline CPI: +3.4%
• Core CPI: +2.5%
A softer print could revive rate-cut hopes and give risk assets some breathing room.
A hotter number? That could bring rate-hike fears straight back into the market.
Meanwhile, the positioning looks dangerous:
🔻 ~$442M longs vulnerable below $63,351
🔺 ~$267M shorts vulnerable above $64,605
🐋 4 whales reportedly short around $340M near $64K
Gold is also catching attention as investors look for safer ground.
So the question isn’t whether BTC moves tonight…
It’s which side gets squeezed first. 👀
$ETH $BICO
#BTC #Bitcoin #CPI

Gold is near $4,400.BTC is still around $64K.
Gold is benefiting from softer jobs data,weaker rate-hike expectations.
BTC is being treated differently. Despite periods of correlation with gold, its longer-term relationship remains unstable.Markets still view BTC more like a high-volatility risk asset .
So the key question is tonight’s CPI.
📉 Cool CPI→lower rate-hike odds→BTC could catch up with gold.
📈 Hot CPI→yields rise→BTC risks another downside test.

📊 CPI Could Reset Fed Expectations & Shape Crypto’s Next Move
The U.S. July CPI release is today at 8:30 AM ET (12 Aug) and could become a major catalyst for crypto as markets prepare for the September Fed meeting.
Current expectations: Headline CPI 3.4% YoY vs. 3.5% previously, while Core CPI is expected at 2.5%.
🔹 CPI Below Expectations — Bullish
Cooler inflation could support a softer Fed stance, weaken yields and the dollar, and boost risk assets like $BTC, $ETH and $SOL.
🔸 CPI Meets Expectations — Neutral
Crypto may see some volatility but could remain range-bound while traders wait for the next major catalyst and Fed commentary.
🔻 CPI Above Expectations — Bearish
Hotter inflation could strengthen rate-hike fears, push yields and the dollar higher, and pressure both stocks and crypto. Altcoins could face even stronger selling.
💡 The initial CPI reaction may be fast, but the bigger signal will be how it changes Fed expectations. Keep an eye on Treasury yields, the dollar, and ETF flows for confirmation.

Gold is trading near $4,400, while $BTC remains around $64K.
Gold continues to benefit from softer labor data and reduced expectations for further rate hikes. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is being priced differently.
Even though BTC has sometimes moved alongside gold, its longer-term correlation remains inconsistent. For now, markets still treat BTC more like a high-volatility risk asset.
That makes tonight’s CPI report especially important. 👀
📉 Cool CPI → Lower rate-hike expectations → BTC could start catching up with gold.
📈 Hot CPI → Higher yields → BTC could face another downside test.
Gold has already picked its direction.
Now the question is whether Bitcoin follows. 🟡₿

🚨 CPI IS ABOUT TO HIT — HERE’S THE QUICK CHEAT SHEET FOR $BTC & $ETH. 👀
#今晚CPI公布,9月加息定价会改写吗?
Forget the noise for a moment. Tonight, I’m watching one number above everything else: Core CPI MoM.
The 0.2% level is the key dividing line.
Here’s the playbook:
🔴 >0.25%
Inflation is showing signs of rebounding → rate-hike expectations heat up → risk assets come under pressure.
🟡 0.18–0.25%
Basically around expectations → volatility could get nasty → false breakouts become more likely.
Don’t chase the first move.
🟢 <0.15%
Inflation cools meaningfully → rate-hike expectations weaken → potentially bullish for risk assets.
⚠️ One important reminder:
Liquidity can be thin right when the data drops, so those first few minutes can produce violent fake spikes in either direction.
Don’t let the first candle make the decision for you.
Wait 15–30 minutes.
Let the market absorb the number, watch where liquidity settles, and then see which direction $BTC and $ETH actually choose.
Tonight isn’t about predicting the first spike.
It’s about surviving it. 👀

$BTC - CPI analysis (educational)
CPI drops today 1h before NY open.
Consensus:
Headline CPI MoM: +0.1%
Headline CPI YoY: 3.4%
Core CPI MoM: +0.2%
Core CPI YoY: 2.5%
The recent weaker labor market print slightly reduced expectations for another Fed hike (50/50rn). This puts even more weight on today's inflation data to determine how the market prices the Fed's next move.
From the last ~20 CPI releases, the surprise vs. expectations has mattered much more for BTC (risk assets in general) than the absolute CPI number itself.
Cooler than expected
> Headline ≤0.0% MoM and/or Core ≤0.1%
> Inflation pressure comes in softer than priced
> Hike probabilities ↓
> USD ↓
> Risk assets ↑
-> Historically bullish setup for BTC
Hotter than expected
> Especially Core ≥0.3% MoM / Headline >3.4% YoY
> Inflation remains sticky
> Hike probabilities ↑
> USD ↑
> Risk assets ↓
-> Historically bearish setup for BTC
Core will be particularly important. A mixed print can create a very messy initial reaction if headline and core point in opposite directions.
Based on the last ~20 prints, the rough historical distribution has been:
Cooler -> ~70–80% positive BTC reaction
In-line/mixed -> ~50–60% neutral/positive
-> still, often quick position drives on print
Hotter -> ~65–75% negative reaction
Don't take these numbers as probabilities for what CPI itself will print - they're the historical BTC reactions conditional on the type of deviation from expectations
Short term, I expect aggressive positioning to get hunted around the release. First move doesn't necessarily equal the real move -> real move comes after the initial impulses stabilize
For me, the important sequence is:
CPI surprise -> rates repricing -> yields/USD reaction -> risk asset reaction.

$ETH ETH Stuck at $1891 – Waiting for CPI to Ignite
Trading around $1891, down ~2% in 24h, sliding from $1937 and chopping weakly in the $1850-1890 range.
Options OI hit an all-time high – ETH options at $8.1B, futures over $9.1B. When CPI hits, volatility will be brutal.
Tonight at 8:30 PM ET, US July CPI is the key variable. Expected +3.4% YoY, core +2.5% – will directly shape the September rate path and risk asset direction.

The Market Is Not Waiting For CPI. It Is Positioning Around It.
Crypto markets can look quiet before a major macro release, but quiet price action does not mean nothing is happening underneath.
Today’s US July CPI is one of the most important catalysts for risk assets this week.
Bitcoin and Ether have been trading in a relatively tight range ahead of the release, leaving traders focused on the potential reaction rather than simply the number itself.
$BTC and $ETH remain the first assets I’m watching.
If inflation comes in softer than expected, markets could price a more supportive path for monetary policy and risk appetite could expand.
If inflation surprises higher, the opposite reaction is possible.
But the most important signal may come after the first move.
Does liquidity follow the breakout?
That is where I start looking further down the market.
$SOL $BNB $XRP $SUI $APT $AVAX $NEAR $SEI $TIA
Layer-1s remain one of the clearest areas to watch when traders begin increasing risk.
But price performance alone is not enough.
The stronger signal is whether these ecosystems continue attracting users, stablecoin liquidity, developers and DeFi activity.
A CPI-driven move can create short-term momentum.
Sustained capital rotation needs more than that.
DeFi is another sector that could become interesting if risk appetite expands.
$AAVE $UNI $CRV $PENDLE $JUP $MKR $COMP
These protocols give the market exposure to actual financial activity.
Lending.
Trading.
Liquidity.
Yield.
If capital begins rotating into DeFi, I want to see whether volume and on-chain participation expand with the price.
Otherwise, the move may simply be another short-lived narrative rotation.
Infrastructure is another area I’m watching closely.
$LINK $ARB $OP $DOT $ATOM $TIA
The infrastructure layer does not always receive the same attention as memes or high-beta tokens.
But data, interoperability, scaling and execution become increasingly important as more capital moves on-chain.
$ONDO $LINK $MKR $XLM
