U.S. March CPI rose sharply, and overall it’s bearish, but I believe the impact is limited.

The core reason for the bearishness is that inflation moved higher than expected, which will reinforce the Federal Reserve’s “hawkish” stance. Market expectations for rate cuts cool down, the U.S. dollar strengthens, and U.S. bond yields rise. This increases the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin, leading to capital flowing out of the crypto market and suppressing the BTC price.

But this data fully matches what the market had already priced in in advance, and there was no black swan of “inflation above expectations.” Therefore, it won’t trigger an extreme sell-off. More likely, it will be a pattern of consolidation under pressure and bearish momentum getting exhausted, rather than a one-way crash.

In the short term, you can still place orders around the morning plan as discussed earlier. Stay prudent—choose to wait and only place orders after the trend becomes clearer. $BTC #BTC
