Market analysts believe that the pace of inflation slowdown is decelerating, which will influence the Federal Reserve's policy stance.

【Crypto World】The US Department of Labor is set to release the December CPI data this Tuesday, a key milestone that cannot be ignored. Based on current expectations, the overall inflation rate is expected to remain at a year-over-year level of 2.7%, with core CPI possibly rising slightly to 2.7%.

The key point is: market analysts generally believe that this data will continue to show a slowdown in inflation easing, but the pace is clearly decelerating. This will have a substantial impact on the Federal Reserve’s stance—essentially further reinforcing their cautious approach. Don’t forget, the December Federal Reserve meeting minutes already hinted at serious internal disagreements, and the decision-makers have not reached a consensus on the future policy direction.

So, can this CPI report reverse the overall policy outlook? Unless there are significant surprises in the data, it’s unlikely. With market expectations relatively stable, the room for policy adjustments is quite limited. What does this mean for crypto market participants? It requires close monitoring of these macro trends.

2.7% this number is a bit heartbreaking, feels like the Federal Reserve is still just putting on a show.

Listen, CPI is basically a gamble; 2.7% is nowhere near enough... The Federal Reserve is already divided internally, and this data probably won't cause any waves. This Tuesday's bloodbath or profit depends entirely on this report; it's tense. Actually, there's no point in having high expectations. Stable expectations are the most dangerous; the market fears "no surprises" the most. That group at the Federal Reserve is just putting on a show. When real data comes out, they can still hold their ground. For the crypto world, it's just one word—wait.

It's yet again CPI, and the Fed is still hesitating... If it really hits 2.7%, it would be pointless. The crypto market still has to see how Americans will react. If this data doesn't trigger a shock, they'll just lie flat. It feels like policy space has already been locked up. Why keep focusing on inflation? It's better to look directly at U.S. Treasury yields. Wait, isn't this another "all clear" trick... The CPI data was just previewed last Friday. Will there really be any surprises this time? With such serious internal conflicts within the Federal Reserve, retail investors will be even more aggressive in taking on positions, haha.

It's the same old story again. The Federal Reserve can't come up with new tricks. Just keep lying flat.

Inflation slowdown has decelerated, and there are still fights within the Federal Reserve. With this data, nothing can be turned around. It's really boring, another situation where there's no surprise and no hope. I remain bullish on this wave and will stay steady, waiting for a policy shift.

Here we go again, CPI data show... Every time they say "key milestone," and what’s the result? The crypto world is still being led around by macro factors. This 2.7% figure... honestly, it’s nothing new. The Fed’s internal disagreements are so big, what does that say? They don’t even know which way to go. Unless there’s a sharp drop or surge, it’s probably just expectations being realized and a boring market rhythm, too exhausting. Limited policy space? Then just keep consolidating, anyway I’ve already laid back.

It's another round of inflation data and the Federal Reserve; these two things always manage to stir up chaos in the crypto world. 2.7% sounds stable, but even the Fed can't come to a consensus internally—that's the real issue. Unless the CPI experiences a major reversal, it will probably continue with the current pace... for us, it's still the same.

Here we go again, the CPI data thing, it feels like every time it's blown out of proportion as doomsday... 2.7% is just like that, no big surprise. Even the Fed is arguing about it internally, what's the point of us in the crypto world worrying about it? Instead of watching this, it's better to see what institutions are doing. Honestly, under stable expectations, the market can't really move at all. It's so boring.
