#CPIWatch โ US Inflation Data Incoming: December 2025 CPI Drops Tomorrow! ๐จ
Crypto traders, heads up! The next big macro trigger is here โ the **US Consumer Price Index (CPI)** for December 2025 releases **January 13, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET**. This print could shake risk assets, including BTC and ETH, as markets gauge the Fed's rate path into 2026.
**Quick Recap on Recent Inflation:**
- Latest available (Nov 2025 headline CPI): +2.7% YoY (not seasonally adjusted)
- Core (ex-food/energy): Around +2.6-2.7% range in recent reads
- November m/m was soft at +0.2% over a quirky 2-month span due to prior data gaps from the 2025 government shutdown mess
**What Markets Are Watching (Consensus Vibes):**
- Expect a modest uptick in headline inflation for December โ possibly edging higher from November's cool print
- Core CPI YoY forecasted around ~2.7% (underlying pressures still easing slowly)
- Key drivers to eye: Energy/gasoline rebound? Shelter costs? Goods prices amid tariff talks?
**Bullish Crypto Angle (Cooler-Than-Expected CPI):**
- Fuels "soft landing" narrative
- Boosts odds for continued Fed easing (more cuts in 2026?)
- Dollar weakens โ Risk-on rally for BTC/ETH/stocks
**Bearish Crypto Angle (Hotter-Than-Expected CPI):**
- Sticky inflation revives "higher for longer" fears
- DXY strength returns
- Short-term pressure on crypto as yields climb
This CPI is extra noisy after the October data blackout โ expect volatility spikes regardless! Bitcoin's hovering near recent levels, but tomorrow's number could be the spark.
