The US CPI data is about to be released, and this will be a watershed moment for the crypto market.
Simply put: if the data is below or in line with expectations, it indicates that inflationary pressures are not that strong, and risk assets will benefit, with cryptocurrencies likely to move upward. Conversely, if the data exceeds expectations, inflation expectations will heat up, and the market will worry about subsequent tightening policies, which could put pressure on cryptocurrencies and cause a pullback.
Before and after such high-impact events, markets are always prone to volatility. Therefore, my strategy is to remain cautious before the data is released, avoiding blindly chasing highs or selling in panic. Wait until the data comes out and observe the market's true reaction before making decisions; this reduces risk. Forcing trades often leads to getting swept, which is unnecessary.

Wait a minute, isn't this just an advanced version of "either go up or go down"? It cracked me up.
You're right, but we all know deep down that once the data comes out, retail investors will either be swept out or cut off, with no third option.
Compared to lower risk, what I fear more is understanding what's happening but still having to watch my wallet shrink helplessly.
The smartest thing to do in such times is actually... lie back and watch the show, wait until the storm passes before making a move.

Just waiting for the data now. What to do now?
Really, every time someone bets on the direction and gets wiped out, it's tragic.
Things like CPI are all about luck; I choose to lie low.
Let's wait and see the reaction before deciding; no rush.
Rely on predicting CPI to make money? Dream on, better to play it safe.

But to be honest, is CPI really that easy to predict? Every time someone says "it's already priced in," but the market still moves unpredictably.

Wait until the data is out before taking action—that's the way of seasoned players.
