Last month's consumer price data came in cooler than expected, signaling potential easing in inflation pressures. This softer-than-anticipated CPI reading could reshape market expectations around monetary policy and economic growth trajectory. For crypto markets, lower inflation readings typically reduce pressure on central banks to maintain aggressive rate hikes, potentially improving risk asset sentiment. The data point marks an important inflection as we head into a pivotal political and economic period. Traders watching macro trends should keep close tabs on whether this cooling trend persists—it could signal shifting conditions for both traditional markets and digital assets.

The cooling of CPI is a favourable signal for us in the crypto world, the Central Bank might be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Really, once the expectation of interest rate cuts comes in, risk assets will be saved, and next we just have to see if it can continue to cool down. Damn, we finally reached this turning point, if it goes on like this, it will almost explode. If this data can really stabilize, then this wave of BTC rebound has a chance. The key is still to see if there will be further cuts, one time doesn't count.

The cooling of CPI sounds good, but can it really alleviate our pain points... or should we continue to wait and see?

CPI cooling is indeed satisfying, but I'm more concerned about whether the subsequent policy shift will actually be implemented... Just talking about easing isn't enough.

It's good that inflation is cooling down; finally, there's a chance to catch a breath. Whether BTC can rise depends on what the Federal Reserve thinks.

What does CPI cooling mean? The real thing to watch is whether the central bank will continue to adopt a hawkish stance...

It's a good thing that CPI has decreased; it feels like this wave might really be turning around.

It's a good thing that inflation has cooled down; the central bank might have to take a break now.

Wow, CPI has really decreased. Now the central bank might have to slow down. Finally, the turning point has arrived. Risk assets are about to take off. If this cooling trend can hold... we might really be going up. Wait, the political cycle is coming. Could this data be proven wrong? The pressure from CPI reduction is less, and Bitcoin is still sleeping. That's a bit strange. The macroeconomic improvement is indeed good for crypto, but the market hasn't reacted yet. Has the interest rate cut cycle really started, or is this just a false signal?
