At 20:30 tonight, a significant event will take place in the global financial markets. Several key economic indicators are set to be released simultaneously, including the year-on-year and month-on-month Consumer Price Index (CPI), core CPI, and the number of unemployment claims. The impact of this data should not be underestimated, as it is likely to trigger significant market volatility.

Analysis predicts that if the CPI annual rate exceeds the expected value of 2.9%, it may strengthen interest rate hike expectations, leading to a capital inflow back to traditional markets, putting pressure on the cryptocurrency market. Conversely, if the data is below expectations, especially if the core CPI shows stability or a declining trend, high-risk assets may quickly gain favor, and market sentiment may reverse instantly.

It is worth noting that if the core CPI annual rate exceeds 3.1% or higher, the market may adopt a cautious stance in the short term. However, the market often digests information in advance, so there may also be a rebound after the "bad news is fully priced in" when the data is officially released.

For investors, the most important thing right now is to control their positions. It is not advisable to heavily bet on a certain direction before data is released. Keep a close eye on the immediate reactions of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), as they will become important indicators for the market direction tonight.

Looking back at last month, the unexpected decline in CPI data brought about a market rebound. Whether the data released this time will repeat history or yield unexpected results remains to be seen.

Regardless, tonight's data release will surely trigger significant market volatility. Investors should remain vigilant, both to guard against potential market panic and to be prepared to seize potential opportunities. At this critical moment, maintaining a rational and flexible investment strategy is essential.
