The Singapore Dollar is taking a breather, losing some ground as traders brace for the incoming U.S. Consumer Price Index figures. It's one of those moments where the market holds its breath—everybody's watching to see what inflation numbers will look like, because honestly, they move everything.

When CPI data drops, it ripples across currency markets. A hotter-than-expected inflation print could shift how traders think about Fed policy, which in turn affects the dollar's strength and pulls regional currencies like the SGD in different directions. Right now, there's this pre-data tension where investors are repositioning, taking profits on long positions, or just sitting tight.

The weakness in the Singapore Dollar isn't dramatic, but it's noticeable. It reflects that cautious mood—nobody wants to get caught on the wrong side of a major data release. Historically, these CPI announcements tend to create volatility clusters, especially in forex and across broader asset classes. The SGD's movement is basically the market saying: we're waiting, watching, and ready to react once the numbers hit.

It's another stalemate on the eve of the CPI... The new coin is ridiculously weak, I've been lying in ambush at the support level, just waiting for the data to get dumped and the rebound to buy the dip, but this time it feels like the market maker is also watching? On-chain data shows that Large Investors have already left, and I really don't know whether to chase or play people for suckers.

This CPI data really stirs up the market, and the Singapore dollar's recent correction is also quite surprising. When the data is released, I don't know how many people will be caught in a trap. Once the CPI is announced, the crypto world trembles along with it. It's better to just hold steady and hodl. Honestly, everyone is just betting on what the Fed will do, and SGD will follow suit. The silence before such data releases is the hardest to endure; I can't even keep my fingers still.

It's the same old story waiting for CPI... SGD didn't drop much this time, but it really hurts. Let's just wait for the Fed's data to explode haha.

It's another data waiting game. As soon as the CPI is announced, the market explodes. Right now, everyone is betting on how the Federal Reserve will play it. --- The Singapore dollar has weakened, but that's just routine operation. No one dares to move before the data is out. --- Basically, everyone is waiting to see the inflation data. When the dollar moves, other currencies will follow and suffer. --- The most frustrating thing at times like this is that holders can't sit still. Those taking profits take profits, those waiting watch, and no one dares to really make a move. --- Once the CPI is released, it immediately causes the entire forex market to collapse. The recent drop in the new currency was truly forced; after all, US data is so important.

Once the CPI data is released, the entire market explodes. The Singapore dollar's follow-up move is just too realistic. During this waiting period for the data, I really don't dare to act. NGL, this kind of market is the most uncomfortable; anything can happen... It's another "holding your breath" type of market. I bet inflation will exceed expectations, and then we'll just watch the show. The linkage between the crypto market and the forex market is really fierce. The SGD's fluctuations this time are basically translating market sentiment. CPI data is like a bomb; no one wants to step on a landmine... By the way, are you guys holding cash or continuing to hold? The feeling of suffocation during this waiting period for the data is intense. It seems like the whole market is holding back a big move. This round of SGD performance is a textbook example of risk aversion. I totally understand the tense atmosphere pre-data. That's how the market is. Before CPI, it’s bound to be this jittery... Waiting for the turnaround moment. The small moves before the market's big reveal show that even institutions are uncertain. Interesting.
