#BinanceABCs $BTC $HMSTR $GHST

The crypto market is about to put on a big show these days, don’t hide—

Tomorrow, the BOJ is almost certain to raise interest rates. Once it happens, the global arbitrage traders will have to collectively admit losses and close positions, and risk assets will suffer—this is the first blow.

Tonight, once the US CPI data is released, the story will be entirely about this:

If inflation starts to decline? Expectations for rate cuts will revive, the dollar will depreciate, and funds will shift into high-yield assets, including our cryptocurrencies.

If inflation remains high? Don’t expect rate cuts. The US dollar’s dominance will continue, and risk assets will be hit again.

Basically, here’s the game plan: short at high levels. Don’t be greedy.

The recent market has been like a roller coaster. To survive the "stimulus" phase and reach the "calm" phase, you should either hold light positions or no positions at all. Once you get through this turbulence, there will be many more opportunities. Keep your positions light, your mind clear, and you’ll earn more.

When Japan raises interest rates, the whole world has to bear it, this time it really depends on CPI... Light Position is the way to go.

According to on-chain data, this wave of operational logic is indeed valid. When the Bank of Japan raised interest rates, the capital flow of arbitrage positions collectively recognizing losses could already be anticipated. Through multi-address tracking, the escape rhythm of large holders is clearly visible. CPI is the second hurdle; any fluctuation in inflation data can be inferred from on-chain wallet behavior. The strategy of holding a light position is not cowardice but the optimal approach under such extreme volatility—after analysis and assessment, this is a typical risk asset cycle pattern. Those who act quickly have already seen through it.

Bank of Japan + CPI double whammy, if you don't hold a light position this wave, you'll be waiting to get cut Riding the roller coaster is the norm, what's there to panic about If inflation keeps falling, I'll go all in; if it spikes, I'll hide and count money Really, greed is the poison of the account Before the CPI is released, better to hold back; there are plenty of opportunities

The Bank of Japan raises interest rates, arbitrage positions need to run, what should we do here Just wait and see the CPI, anyway I’m just holding a light position and lying low Long positions at high levels, greedy people will find out tomorrow what a roller coaster really is Only those who endure this period of turbulence are the winners, anyone still daring to hold heavy positions now is a tough person

Really, once the CPI data is out, you'll know the overall trend. I've already cut my positions to the minimum. Waiting for the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve, these two big players, to make their move. All the high-level short positions are in, betting that inflation remains strong. Holding light positions is truly comfortable, and with a good mindset, I actually earn more. These days, don't think about bottom-fishing; just focus on surviving first.
