Tonight, the US inflation data is about to be released. Due to the previous government shutdown disrupting the sampling process, the month-on-month data is significantly missing, and many institutions have already lowered their expectations for the reference value of this data. The market generally predicts a slight increase in year-over-year CPI to 3.1%, with core CPI remaining stable around 3.0%—basically continuing the framework of moderate inflation.
Although this "incomplete" data may cause emotional fluctuations tonight, its actual impact is limited. The real determinant of the subsequent pace is the full inflation report in December and its signaling effect on the Federal Reserve's policy path.
The macro logic remains unchanged: inflation has confirmed a downward trend, the rate hike cycle has peaked, and market liquidity is gradually shifting towards easing expectations.
$BTC and mainstream cryptocurrencies have recently been in a consolidation phase, waiting for clearer policy signals. This "data gap period" combined with the special liquidity structure at year-end may prolong the volatility buildup.
For investors, maintaining flexible positions, filtering out short-term noise, and focusing on the mid-term liquidity improvement logic are key. If a panic sell-off occurs after the data release, it could instead be a window for phased deployment.

Data lull period? This is when the market loves to stir things up. Just wait and see if there will be another roller coaster tonight...

Data gaps are just gaps; the real show is in December. So what's the rush now... The liquidity story is well told, but whether this wave at the end of the year can truly loosen up depends on the Federal Reserve's stance.

The data gap period is the betting period, anyway tonight's CPI won't say much... The real focus is on December.

The data gap period is here again, and every time this happens, the market starts to guess blindly... By the way, is this CPI really that important? It feels like the market has already set the tone.

ngl, this "incomplete data" situation screams manipulation vector to me. gov shutdown conveniently removes data points? that's literally how you hide exploit patterns. been tracking CPI anomalies for years and this feels... off.

Data gaps are just data gaps; anyway, December is the real exam. Why bother messing around now?

honestly, the incomplete data is just noise – mathematically speaking, we're looking at maybe 40% signal-to-noise ratio here. what actually matters is december's full report and how fed pivots... but everyone already knows this, tbh
