Traders staring at their screens in the middle of the night noticed a phenomenon—funds in a certain stablecoin pool are growing rapidly. This is no coincidence. Smart money has sensed the warning signs.

In the next 24 hours, the market will experience an unprecedented shockwave. Not just one or two data points, but three major events from global central banks will trigger a concentrated burst:

At 7:00 PM, US CPI and unemployment benefit data will be released—this will determine whether the Federal Reserve continues to hike rates or moves toward cutting rates.

At 3:00 AM, the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet will be updated—showing the true liquidity levels, which no one can deceive the market about.

At 8:30 AM, the Bank of Japan’s interest rate decision—highly likely to initiate a rate hike, ending over a decade of ultra-low interest rates.

When US inflation data and Japan’s historic rate hike occur on the same day, the revaluation of global assets begins. For the 7×24-hour nonstop, leverage-filled crypto market, this is equivalent to a major cleanup—accounts that are unprepared will face a baptism of fire.

01 The three core elements of the storm

**First Wave: The Truth About US CPI**

Tonight’s CPI figures will directly rewrite the market’s expectations of Federal Reserve policy. If the data exceeds expectations, the idea of a rate cut soon will be completely shattered, the dollar will strengthen rapidly, and risk asset funds will start to withdraw. Historical cases show that an unexpected CPI can cause Bitcoin to fluctuate more than 10% within a day. This is no small matter.

**Second Wave: The Real Balance Sheet of the Federal Reserve**

The balance sheet figures may look cold, but they reflect the true state of liquidity. This will directly influence the market’s judgment of how much money is available.

**Third Wave: The Turning Point of Yen Appreciation**

The Bank of Japan’s decision is not just Japan’s business. The end of the era of cheap yen means a major adjustment in global arbitrage trading. Strategies that borrow yen to go long risk assets will need to be reconsidered.

These three events will trigger intense reactions within 24 hours, and the market’s defenses will either be reinforced or torn apart. What will happen depends on whether these data points exceed expectations. And smart money’s accumulation in stablecoins like USDD is preparing for the worst—during the storm, stablecoins are the life raft.
