CPI Showdown Night: Is Powell Leaving a "Mess," or Wash's "Oath of Allegiance"?

Tomorrow night at 8:30, the CPI data will be released.

But don’t get it wrong — the data itself isn’t the point;
what matters is: who’s watching, and how they use it.

Tomorrow night’s CPI is Powell’s final one,
and also the “last cicada” Wash must swallow before taking office.

Do you think it’s inflation data?
No, it’s the “relay baton” between the new and old Federal Reserve chairs.

May 12th (Tuesday) 8:30 PM → CPI release
May 15th (Friday) → Wash officially takes office

These four days in between are a “transition vacuum” that no one dares to move in.

Powell’s last appearance on stage, Wash sharpening his tools backstage.

If CPI meets expectations (declines):
The market will rebound short-term, but don’t celebrate too early.
Wash will casually say, “Historical data doesn’t predict the future.”
I haven’t acted yet, don’t rush.

If CPI exceeds expectations (persistent):
Then Wash’s first week in office is like holding an “immediate rate hike” order.
He’s not Powell, he doesn’t need to slowly analyze the data.
He’s here to defuse the bomb.

Don’t forget, this week isn’t just about CPI:
- ADP (small non-farm payrolls)
- PPI (producer price index)
- Monthly industrial output

It’s a combo punch.

Any misfire will be amplified into a nuclear bomb under the “Wash panic” filter.

Before Wednesday’s PPI release, don’t test the waters with US stocks or BTC crypto.

The current market doesn’t even dare to choose a direction,
are you there “feeling it’s about right”? #Gate广场五月交易分享 $BTC $ETH
