US PPI data is coming out tonight at 7:00 PM IST. Here's how different readings could shake things up for crypto markets:

If it comes in below 0.3%, expect a bullish mood—markets typically rally on softer inflation signals. In the 0.3% to 0.4% range? That's pretty much what traders have already priced in, so don't expect fireworks. Anything above 0.4%, though, and you're looking at potential downside pressure across assets. The threshold matters because stronger-than-expected PPI prints can shift the entire narrative around rate expectations and economic momentum.

Once again, this kind of market data—dropping more than 0.4% directly—I'm betting five dollars that it will break tonight.

It's the same old rational expectations trick... Only below 0.3% can we tell a story; the market has already digested the 0.3-0.4% range, and anything over 0.4% will get you caught. Basically, traders have already priced in all possible outcomes, and now we can only bet on whether the Fed will surprise us with unexpected moves—that's the real game-theoretic equilibrium.

PPI data is so detailed, but to be honest, I still only pay attention to market reactions... Below 0.3% is celebration, over 0.4% is preparing to buy the dip, nobody really cares about the middle part.

It's PPI and inflation again, same old story... Last time I followed the trend and went short, I lost everything.
