🇺🇸 US inflation fell to 3.4%, in line with forecasts.

Whether the vindication arrives this cycle or later, the holders already passed a test most never attempt.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ethereum:0x2b591e99afe9f32eaa6214f7b7629768c40eeb39

Does this kind of behavior mentioned inside really exist? 😂

I tried using Gate’s U Card to order takeout through Alipay, and it actually worked. Hehe. The address defaulted directly to “Other.” The system defaulted to Brazil, and I didn’t change it.

Keep going. You’re closer than you think.

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

BTC and ETH are still at last night’s levels. See the chart below.
Now for the U.S. stock trading plan: For Micron, hold the short from 929 after reducing the position, with a tight stop at 936.5, the prior high. Go long if it holds above 934; this is a daily-level breakout, so reduce the long position at 960.
963 and 970 are strong short levels; use both, reducing the position by 20–30 points in profit.
Add to the long if it holds above 972; target 1030.
1033 is very strong; everyone should place an order there, with a 20-point stop-loss, and take profit by reducing the position after 25 poin

Last cycle, $BTC started its recovery before any major good news hit the market.
Even before the ETF rumours and the big catalysts appeared, BTC had already recovered from the lows.
So it makes sense that we could see something similar this time around. The real question is what catalyst will drive it.
Right now, the narrative forming seems to be the clarity act. Timing an approval, or even predicting when it might happen, is difficult.
But if it does become the catalyst, it would likely mark the beginning of BTC’s first meaningful leg up after the first bear market recovery, with the approval

$BTC # July CPI Comes in Steady, September Rate-Hike Expectations Cool
July CPI and core CPI matched market expectations exactly. Inflation eased slightly, and following earlier weakness in nonfarm payrolls, markets quickly cut the odds of a September rate hike, temporarily improving sentiment toward risk assets. However, the data only ease the Fed’s short-term tightening pressure; they do not mean the rate-hike alert is fully off.
The data show that inflation is declining slowly, while housing services remain its main support. Core CPI still has a significant gap to the 2% policy target. Geop

Also, write up the U.S. stock trading plan: Micron 929 short, reduce the position and hold; set a wick stop at the previous high, 936.5. Go long if it holds above 934; on a daily-level breakout, reduce the long at 960.
963 and 970 shorts are strong; use both together and reduce the position by 20–30 points in profit.
Add to the long if it holds above 972; target 1030.
1033 is very strong; everyone place orders there, 20-point stop-loss, reduce the position and take profit after 25 points, initially target 50 points.

Some people fantasize every day about holding through the losses and waiting to break even. To be honest, this path is a dead end in itself!
Clinging stubbornly to losing positions and refusing to cut losses will only leave most people losing more and more, putting themselves in chains.
Missing a rally and failing to catch the move may leave you frustrated for half a day; once you are heavily invested and deeply underwater, you will be tormented during the day and unable to sleep at night. Life becomes unbearable.
Don’t gamble on the market with wishful thinking! Make a plan, set your stop-los
