Last night at 20:30, the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum suddenly fell sharply, causing market turbulence. The direct reason for this anomaly was that the recently released Producer Price Index (PPI) data from the United States far exceeded expectations, disrupting the market's anticipation that inflation was already under control.



Previously, the market generally believed that inflation had stabilized, and a rate cut might be expected in September. However, the abnormal performance of the PPI data has shaken this expectation. The continued rise in producer prices may eventually be transmitted to the consumer end, making it difficult to alleviate inflationary pressures.

This contradictory situation has reduced the likelihood of an interest rate cut in September, and the market has immediately fallen into panic. Investors are selling off en masse, leading to a significant decline in the cryptocurrency market. Among them, Ethereum has been severely impacted, with a drop of nearly 300 points in a short period.

This market fluctuation once again proves that before and after the release of important economic data, the market often experiences severe volatility. Whether experienced traders or novice investors, they should treat the time periods surrounding the release of core data such as CPI, PPI, and unemployment rates with caution. To reduce risk, it is recommended to avoid trading in the half hour before and after the data is announced.

This strategy can effectively avoid sudden market fluctuations and protect investors' capital. In such a volatile environment as the cryptocurrency market, it is crucial to remain vigilant and rational.

I silently laughed at the trap at the current high point.
