Inflation is climbing again 👀
US CPI came in at 3.8%, above expectations.
Markets are worried but history tells a very different story.
This is very bullish for ALTSEASON hopes.
Here are 4 things you need to know:
> Energy prices drove over 40% of the increase.
> The Fed is stuck and it cannot cut rates into rising inflation.
> No hike without killing growth.
> Last time inflation started spiking like this, altcoins went on their biggest run ever.
Go back to mid-2021 ⏪
CPI started climbing from 5% and kept running toward 9%.
Everyone called it a disaster.
Meanwhile TOTAL3 (altcoin market cap excluding BTC and ETH) went from $400B to over $1.3T.
Bitcoin hit $69K and Ethereum hit $4,800.
Rising inflation pushes capital out of cash and into risk assets.
That is exactly what played out last cycle.
BTC is holding strong right now and TOTAL3 is building.
The setup looks familiar.
Nobody is saying it will play out identically.
But ignoring the pattern is just as risky as following it blindly.
