🇺🇸 US CPI data drops tomorrow at 8:30 ET.
today's big crypto event (US CPI data) so you can understand why the market might move a lot today.
What is CPI?
CPI = Consumer Price Index.
It's basically a report that shows how much prices went up (inflation) in the US last month (December 2025 numbers coming out today).
Think of it like this:
.If prices rise too fast (high inflation) → bad for normal people, and the Federal Reserve (the big US money bosses) might keep interest rates high or even raise them.
.If prices rise slowly or stay calm → good sign! The Fed might cut rates (make borrowing cheaper), which usually helps stocks, Bitcoin, and crypto go up.
Why do crypto people care so much?
.The Fed Chair Jerome Powell watches this number super closely. Lower inflation → more chance of rate cuts → more money flowing into risky stuff like Bitcoin → price can pump!
.Higher inflation than expected → rates stay high longer → risk assets (like BTC) can drop fast.
Today's situation (Jan 13, 2026):
The CPI data drops at 8:30 AM ET (around 6:30 PM PKT for us).
Everyone was expecting around 2.7% inflation (a bit higher than last month).
Markets are nervous because:
.There's drama with Trump vs. Powell (some investigation talk, politics messing with the Fed).
.Gold & silver are going crazy high (people running to "safe" stuff).
.Bitcoin is hanging around $90K–$92K right now, waiting for this news.
Bottom line :
This one number can cause big swings in Bitcoin (sometimes 5–10% up or down in hours).
.Watch the release closely. Better-than-expected (lower inflation) → bullish for BTC!
.Worse-than-expected (higher inflation) → could dip hard.
Stay calm, don't FOMO or panic-sell right away. Trade smart!
