As soon as the CPI data was released, everything weakened across the board. Inflation data strengthened, and pressure for another rate hike is back! Today can be called the bears’ day!
From Monday through today, I repeatedly emphasized directly shorting at the 840 level, and most of Zhongling’s real-account trades were also positioned there! The gains from the past few days are right before our eyes! The 840 short position is still being held! Waiting for an opportunity to reduce the position! All I can say is: trust Zhongling, trade, and win!
As for U.S. stocks tonight, I remain bearish, but

Bitcoin’s next move could depend heavily on the upcoming CPI numbers.
🔹CPI below 3.6%: A bullish reaction could push BTC toward $84K–$85K.
🔹 CPI at 3.6%: Expect a relatively muted reaction, with BTC potentially moving sideways.
🔹 CPI above 3.6%: Higher inflation could trigger selling pressure and push BTC toward $82K.
The key is how the actual data compares with market expectations. Volatility is likely, so stay cautious and manage your risk.
Which scenario are you betting on?
