Tonight's CPI data fell back better than expected, which directly ignited the market. US stock futures rose in response, essentially recovering yesterday's decline, and the crypto market also rebounded accordingly. Bitcoin once again launched an assault towards $90,000.



Tomorrow, the Bank of Japan is highly likely to raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points. The market has actually already priced in this news—probability as high as 99%. What really needs attention is the Governor's stance on the future monetary policy path, as that is the variable that could break the deadlock. But overall, the main impact of this event should be limited to that day.

Looking ahead, the Christmas season is about to start. Currently, no obvious bad news has emerged, and I personally estimate the safety of this so-called "Christmas rally" at around 90%.

Therefore, tomorrow you can adjust your positions based on the situation. In the short term, after the dust settles from the Bank of Japan event, market sentiment should stabilize. Currently, Bitcoin and tech stocks are still closely correlated, and any ripple in the US macro situation will have a synchronized impact on both markets.

CPI一落地直接拉盘,我就知道年底这波行情稳了,BTC冲9万不是梦啊

The Bank of Japan matter actually had a plan long ago, watching the governor's statement is the key, just avoid causing trouble

I'm also optimistic about the Christmas market, 90% safety level is guaranteed, just waiting to receive gifts

Tomorrow's rebalancing must keep up with the rhythm, don't be overwhelmed by US macro data, right now BTC and tech stocks are just one rope

With such strong CPI data, will there be more surprises later?

Feels like the end of the year is the main upward wave, anyone still bearish now will suffer losses

If you don't jump on this Christmas wave, you'll have to wait until next year for a chance

If the Bank of Japan really makes hawkish comments, could they reverse and sell off?

No need to fuss too much in the short term, the overall direction is fine, just follow and enjoy the gains

Whenever CPI drops, Bitcoin rushes towards 90,000. This pace is really hard to sustain, but will the Japanese Central Bank cause some trouble tomorrow?

Wait, is the Christmas rally 90% safe? That seems a bit optimistic, the risk is right there.

Short-term position adjustment is smart, but if the US stock market crashes, tech stocks and cryptocurrencies will truly die in sync. That needs to be understood clearly.

The central bank governor's words are the key; pricing and all that are just illusions. Real value depends on attitude.

Has 90,000 really been reached, or are they just playing the same old tricks again?

Staying up late to watch CPI, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief

The 99% thing about the Bank of Japan is actually just a shoe dropping, really waiting to see what the governor says

Christmas rally 90% safety? I don’t really believe in this kind of probability, anyway, I’ll reduce my positions first tomorrow

BTC and the US stock market, these twin brothers, have really been dancing together recently, one sneezes and the other catches a cold

---

Wow, CPI dropped so much, the market just took off

Is $90,000 really going to break? Feels a bit虚虚虚

---

The market had already digested the Bank of Japan’s issue long ago, just waiting to see if there are any surprises

I choose not to believe in the 90% Christmas rally; historically, such "probabilities" are most likely to backfire

---

Wait until the dust settles on the Bank of Japan before taking action, acting now is just giving away

When the US stock market suddenly drops, Bitcoin follows and also kneels, this correlation is really incredible

---

Looking at these data every day really causes nerve exhaustion, let’s hope the Bank of Japan breaks tomorrow and sets expectations

90,000 is about to be broken again. This time, we might only survive thanks to the face of the CPI.

The Bank of Japan has a 99% probability, but it feels like the market has long been asleep. Just look at the central bank governor’s attitude.

Christmas market 90%? I don’t believe you. Every time it’s calculated like that, it ends up being a face slap.

Bitcoin being tied to tech stocks is too uncomfortable. Riding the roller coaster with US stocks is so annoying.

If you’re adjusting your positions tomorrow, you should already be optimistic now; otherwise, you might get crushed again.

CPI drops so much, Bitcoin starts to stir, turns out macro factors still rule everything

Wait, is the Bank of Japan really going to raise interest rates by 25 basis points tomorrow? Feels like this wave of market movement has already been digested

Christmas market 90% safe... sounds good, but I still cautiously reduce my positions, don’t get caught in the trap

90,000 dollars is back again, will it break through this time or fall back again? Just look at the central bank governor’s face to know what’s next

BTC is so closely correlated with the US stock market, it’s a bit dangerous—one crash and they all fall

CPI this wave of assistance is excellent, but I always feel a bit uneasy about things priced at 99%, worried that a single word from the governor could spoil the market.

Christmas market 90% safety? Sounds great, but I just don't know who will be the unlucky 10%.

Bitcoin at 90,000 seems not that easy, feels like it will still fluctuate for a few days.

After this wave of Japanese Central Bank events, the market being stable is truly stability; otherwise, it’s just a false alarm.

My mind is overwhelmed; the linkage between the US stock market and the crypto circle is really tight.
