CPI at 3.4% was fully in line with expectations—why did BTC retreat after rising just 0.3%?
Did your heart start racing as you watched the CPI data last night?
U.S. July CPI came in at 3.4% year-on-year, while core CPI came in at 2.5%—both hitting expectations precisely.
Inflation is cooling. The probability of a September rate hike is falling. The negative catalyst is gone.
You thought: BTC is about to take off, right?
But what happened?
BTC rebounded from $63,200 to $64,400, gaining 1.9%—then turned lower and plunged back to around $63,500.
The full-day gain? 0.3%.
The Nasdaq rose 0.54%, whi

$BTC USDT is looking interesting around 63.2K.
BTC is holding near the recent low at 63,234.7 after the drop. The first resistance is around 63,683.1.
If BTC gets back above 63,683.1 and holds there, I’m watching 64,355.8 and then 65,477.1.
For now, 63.2K is the key area. If it breaks, the setup could turn weak. If BTC reclaims 63.68K, we could see another push higher.

#USJulyCPIInLine
📊🇺🇸 is another important macroeconomic signal for markets, with July U.S. inflation broadly matching expectations and giving investors a clearer picture of the current price environment. The headline CPI increased 0.1% month over month, in line with forecasts, while annual inflation eased to 3.4% from 3.5% in June. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.2% monthly and 2.5% annually.
The fact that inflation came in as expected is important because markets often react sharply when CPI surprises significantly above or below expectations. This time, the numbers

🚨 METAPLANET CLARIFIES 5,014 BTC MOVE
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich says the 5,014 Bitcoin transfer was routine movement between custodial wallets.

No sell-off. Just an internal transfer.

Yesterday, Bitcoin rebounded again and came under pressure near 64,500. U.S. stocks opened lower in the evening session, pulling back to a low near 63,200, completely in line with our high-short setup given yesterday—the entry and exit levels were replicated exactly!
From the current market structure, the daily chart is generally showing a weak, range-bound pattern after pulling back from elevated levels. The Bollinger Bands are opening downward, with the price below the middle band and clear overhead pressure. Bears have the upper hand in the broader direction.
On the 4-hour chart, the movin

Brother Tong’s 8.13 SOL Strategy
$SOL Enter short around 76.0-76.5, stop-loss at 77.0, first target 75.0, second target 74.0.
Current price: 75.59. Last night’s CPI came in as expected, and BTC led a bounce, with SOL surging as high as 77.33, but it failed to hold and was dumped back to around 75. Even the positive news failed to push it higher, showing that overhead selling pressure is extremely strong and shorts are still in control.
Each rebound is weaker than the last, and the center of gravity continues to move lower. The 75 level will be repeatedly tested; if it breaks, look toward 74. T

Thursday Crypto Market Roundup:
The market will drop again, but don't act just yet!
Morning, ladies. $BTC made the direction very clear last night.
It still couldn't break 64,500, then a high-volume large bearish candle crashed through 63,800, hitting a low of 63,210.
Once this level broke, the bulls couldn't hold out either, but the decline isn't moving smoothly right now.
Currently fluctuating around 6,350, with 63,800 turning from former support into resistance.
So: we'll continue watching the short side, but don't chase it now.
Wait for a rebound to around 63,800, where it faces resistanc

CPI cooled, so why is Bitcoin still slumping?
Last night, the July U.S. CPI data was released:
Headline y/y: 3.4% (previous: 3.5%)
Core y/y: 2.5% (previous: 2.6%)
MoM: +0.1%; core MoM: +0.2%
All four figures matched expectations almost exactly.
According to the usual script, lower inflation → lower rate-hike expectations → improved liquidity → BTC should rise.
But what happened? Bitcoin climbed to 64,400 before the release, then fell to 63,800 afterward.
Gold, meanwhile, broke above $4,400 and continued surging.
What’s going on? Four points.
First, “in line with expectations” means “no sur
