CPI data settles, giving the crypto market a short-term breather opportunity! US CPI data is released: the overall year-over-year rate of 4.2% fully matches expectations, and the month-over-month rate of 0.5% is also stable—can’t be any steadier. The core month-over-month rate of 0.2% is even a bit lower than the expected 0.3%—a clear win for both gold and silver. Here’s my personal take: this set of data, plain and simple, is “nothing worth being surprised about.” The Federal Reserve wants jobs to stay stable and inflation not to blow up—so far, that’s basically been met. But the market is still reeling today—Bitcoin dropped below $61,000, Ethereum to 1612, and in the past 24 hours, more than 120,000 traders were liquidated; nearly $420 million is gone. Why? The market isn’t really watching the CPI itself anymore. What everyone fears is next week’s FOMC meeting—the first one after Wosh took office. How hawkish will the dot plot be? No one has a clear answer. Rate-hike expectations are still climbing, and that’s the big weight pressing down prices. Core CPI cooling is indeed a short-term positive, but in an environment where “high interest rates stay in place for longer,” it’s hard for the crypto market to break through pressure levels easily. My judgment is: the $60,000 level for Bitcoin will likely need to grind through it repeatedly. What retail investors need to do is “wait patiently for opportunities, then act decisively—accurate and steady.” Follow Lao Zhang: share real-time strategies every day + anti-cut (anti-stops-out) guide! #Gate直通IPO认购SpaceX #Anthropic发布Fable5模型

$ETH This pullback is quite sharp; those who bought earlier should be pretty stable now. When the market just started moving last time, I kept an eye on around 2185.21, and I noticed the rebound couldn't hold steady, with capital absorption clearly weakening, and the market started to weaken. At that time, I didn't hesitate and went short directly. The market has already fallen back to 1639.15, with a +4343.93% profit—holding onto it, as my previous judgment was not wrong. There's no need to hold on stubbornly here; take out 85%, and keep 15% to see if there are further opportunities later. For those who are already in, set your stop-loss properly; such coins can be quite volatile, and a rebound could happen at any time later. If you missed the chance, don't chase now—wait for the next signal. $BTC $SOL

CPI has landed! All the expected data has been digested! Bitcoin and Ethereum have directly expressed their stance! 🔥 The US May CPI annual rate is 4.2%, hitting a new high since April 2023, with core CPI at 2.9%, both in line with market expectations. After the data was released, US stock futures quickly narrowed their losses, with Nasdaq futures dropping from over 1.5% to 0.9%, and gold and silver prices rose in the short term—markets are clearly relieved. Looking at our crypto side. One hour before and after the data release, Bitcoin $BTC ‌ surged from 61,700 to nearly 62,000, and $ETH ‌ also stabilized above 1630. Within 24 hours, Bitcoin reached a high of 62,709, ETH briefly touched 1,679.66, with very clear support at lower levels. The market has given a clear signal with actual actions—at worst, inflation might hover sideways at high levels, but expectations have already been priced in. Additionally, $BEAT ‌ mentioned that the 24-hour trading volume hit over 92 million, with quite active turnover, and large price swings—only the skill of speculative funds is so sharp, whether they follow or not depends on individual risk appetite. From the current data, this inflation surge in May was mainly driven by rising energy costs due to the Iran conflict, not a sign of overall demand overheating. The probability of the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates unchanged in June remains above 98%, so there’s no need to overly worry about tightening expectations in the short term. The main message remains: macro fog is gradually clearing, don’t panic about the strategic layout, and leave the rest to time for validation. 🔥Summary: 1️⃣ CPI landing and meeting expectations, the market’s biggest short-term uncertainty is eliminated 2️⃣ Bitcoin and ETH support at low levels is obvious, funds are choosing their direction at key points 3️⃣ Short-term unchanged interest rates are highly probable, the most chaotic macro phase is passing 💬Comment section: Do you think this is just a rebound, or is a reversal really coming?
