🔥 US October CPI is about to be released! Have all the bearish factors already been priced in? Can this inflation report still trigger a sell-off?

Trading focus: $BTC $ETH $NVDA $GOOGL $XAU

At 21:30 Beijing time on November 10, the US will release its October CPI data.

September CPI rose 3.7% year over year. The market expects headline CPI to rise about 0.24% month over month in October, and core CPI to rise about 0.2%.

I have a view on this CPI report that differs from the market consensus: if inflation comes in below expectations, the market may see a rebound; even if inflation runs hot, US stocks may not necessarily plunge again.

Why? Let's first review what has happened recently.

I. Bearish factors were released all at once, yet the market did not continue falling

On November 3, in the US midterm elections, the Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, raising market concerns about AI data center construction and tighter regulation of the tech industry.

On November 5, US tech stocks and semiconductor shares suffered heavy losses, and BTC also fell in tandem, with market panic quickly intensifying.

But on November 6, the US released its October nonfarm payrolls data: 165k jobs were added, far above the market expectation of 65k, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%.

By conventional logic, strong employment means less room for rate cuts, which is unfavorable for US stocks and crypto assets.

However, the market did not continue to plunge; the Nasdaq and S&P 500 actually closed higher.

What does this tell us?

In my view, some of the negative factors had already been priced in. The market is shifting from trading macro fears alone to reassessing corporate earnings and asset valuations.

II. How do I view this CPI report?

The market has already priced in a relatively high probability of a December Fed rate hike, with interest rate futures at one point reflecting about a 78% chance of a hike.

Therefore, a December rate hike itself is no longer completely unexpected. What will truly affect the market is whether the CPI data further changes expectations for the future path of interest rates.

I see three possible scenarios:

1️⃣ CPI below expectations:

Cooling inflation could ease concerns about further rate hikes. Treasury yields and the US dollar may fall, potentially giving BTC, US stocks, and gold a boost.

2️⃣ CPI in line with expectations:

The market may remain range-bound. The focus will be on Treasury yields, the US dollar, and fund flows while waiting for a directional move.

3️⃣ CPI above expectations:

In the short term, this could push Treasury yields and the US dollar higher, putting pressure on BTC, tech stocks, and gold.

But I believe that even if the data runs hot, we cannot simply conclude that US stocks will inevitably plunge again. The market has already undergone a major correction, and rate hike expectations are already elevated. The key is whether the actual result exceeds what has already been priced in.

III. The trader's view and trading plan

What I am paying more attention to is whether the valuations of quality companies have already shed too much of their premium after the earlier sell-off.

For companies with solid earnings, orders, and cash flow, I think it is time to start looking for long-term spot opportunities rather than focusing only on short-term macro headwinds.

The same applies to BTC and gold: don't look only at the CPI number; also watch the US dollar, real Treasury yields, and how funds actually respond.

My plan:

• Spot: Build positions in quality assets in stages; don't bet everything on catching the bottom.

• Futures: Don't bet on the data's direction; wait for a breakout, a pullback, and confirmation.

• Risk management: If the market continues to weaken, reassess positions and don't blindly hold losing trades.

My core view: To know how much of the bearish news has already been priced in, look at how prices move, not just what the news says.

If CPI comes in below expectations, the market may rebound; if it comes in above expectations, watch whether the market has already priced it in.

Don't guess the top, don't guess the bottom, and don't chase the first big green candle.

Macro sets the direction; market structure determines the entry. Let the market give you the answer instead of predicting it!

How do you think the market will move after this CPI release?

A. Inflation cools, broad-based rebound

B. In line with expectations, continued range-bound trading

C. Inflation runs hot, another decline

D. Bearish news is fully priced in, and the market rises instead
