December inflation came in at 2.7% year-over-year, suggesting price pressures are finding some equilibrium. This kind of data matters for crypto markets more than people realize. When inflation stabilizes around this level, it typically affects everything from Fed policy expectations to asset allocation strategies. Whether this stickiness persists will be key—especially for how markets respond to rate decisions and broader macro conditions. Worth monitoring closely as we move into the new quarter.

2.7% huh, I can't help but stop smiling after seeing this data Stable inflation = my principal is also stable at a loss, amazing One decision by the Federal Reserve, and our dreams are reshuffled, our fate depends entirely on Powell's words New quarter, new opportunities, are the retail investors ready to be harvested? Is the stickiness continuing? The stickiness in my wallet has long disappeared

ngl the 2.7% sticky inflation is basically a mempool signal... fed's stuck in analysis paralysis while we're frontrunning the macro narrative. anyone sleeping on this before q1 opens deserves the liquidation. the real alpha? watching how this data gets sandwich-blocked into rate expectations.

2.7% This number sounds moderate, but can we really trust it? Feels like the Federal Reserve is still pretending.

The 2.7% figure doesn't seem very exciting; what the Federal Reserve thinks is what really matters.

2.7% this number looks stable, but can it really stay steady... feels like a sedative again

2.7% looking sus tbh... that "balance" thing is just opportunity cost masquerading as stability lol. fed's gonna do what fed does anyway, but yeah the basis points matter for liquidity depth on-chain rn

Does the 2.7% figure seem a bit delicate... Can it really stay stable?
