CPI Report: Why Tuesday Could Shake the MarketTraditional Markets Tense – No Green Light Yet!Bitcoin’s Own PlaybookHow the US CPI Data Could Impact Bitcoin PriceSentiment Says “Cool,” But Data Tells Another StorySo, What Now?

Ok folks – It’s a stacked week for crypto and the charts know it.

Bitcoin just pierced through the $105K mark, volatility is ramping up, and all eyes are on Tuesday’s CPI report. But that’s not the full story.

We’re looking at a collision of macro triggers: sticky inflation, unresolved U.S.-China trade tensions, and a Federal Reserve that’s still playing wait-and-see. The stakes? Potentially massive – especially for Bitcoin bulls hunting for a breakout above $106K.

Let’s unpack what matters, why it matters, and what might come next.

CPI Report: Why Tuesday Could Shake the Market

April’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) release is landing Tuesday, and it’s already dominating trader conversations. Forecasts suggest a year-over-year increase of 2.3%, slightly cooling from March’s 2.4%. Core CPI is expected to land at 2.8%.

Sounds tame? Maybe on the surface. But zoom out: This report is the first real data point that might reflect the inflationary impact of Trump’s recent tariff surge on Chinese imports. With goods in stockpiles and pricing effects lagging, this CPI drop could either be a fluke or the start of a trend.

And that’s why markets are jumpy.

Traditional Markets Tense – No Green Light Yet!

Equities aren’t celebrating just yet. Despite positive trade talk headlines, the S&P barely moved – up around 1.3%. Traders are still waiting for a direct statement from Trump, and the Fed isn’t helping the situation either.

Chair Powell stuck to his script last week: no cuts, no promises. The CME FedWatch Tool pegs the chance of a rate cut in June at under 15%. July is still a coin flip. 

Inflation’s stickiness, tariffs, and policy fog are keeping broader markets cautious.

Bitcoin’s Own Playbook

Now, Bitcoin. After a rapid move above $105K over the weekend, BTC is holding near its highs. But problems exist. Traders flagged suspicious price action hours before the China tariff news dropped. The chart’s been noisy.

But here’s what’s grabbing attention: a bullish MACD cross on the weekly. The last time this happened was October 2024 – and it triggered a major uptrend. That signal’s back and it has got people buzzing. 

Still, BTC couldn’t close above $104.5K on the weekly, which is a key level and remains near the resistance. Bulls need that clean break above $106K to really run.

How the US CPI Data Could Impact Bitcoin Price

The upcoming CPI release will likely be a key trigger for Bitcoin’s next move. Here’s what to watch for:

CPI at 2.3% or Below:
If inflation shows signs of cooling with a CPI reading of 2.3% or lower, it could push the market toward expectations of a Fed rate cut. This would likely give Bitcoin a boost, potentially driving it to a new ATH, provided other macro factors align.

CPI Above 2.4%:
A higher-than-expected CPI would signal persistent inflation, dampening hopes for a Fed rate cut. In this case, Bitcoin could face a dip or consolidation as markets adjust to the delayed policy changes.

CPI In Line with Expectations:
If CPI comes in as expected, Bitcoin might stay steady in the short term. Investors would likely wait for further clarity before making big moves, with key support levels coming into play as the market assesses the next steps.

Sentiment Says “Cool,” But Data Tells Another Story

Despite Bitcoin trading above $100K, retail isn’t piling in. Google Trends for “Bitcoin” are near five-year lows. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is hovering at 70 – below the levels seen at $94K just weeks ago.

Oddly enough, that might be a good thing.

Nearly 98% of Bitcoin supply is now in profit, yet sentiment remains calm. That’s rare. 

This often signals long-term holders may start trimming, while newcomers misread calm as a green light. It’s a quiet, delicate setup and does not indicate exit-panic. 

Are you breathing a sigh of relief?

So, What Now?

The path forward hangs on Tuesday’s CPI. If inflation cools? BTC could surge, maybe even challenge its all-time high. If CPI surprises to the upside? Expect consolidation or even a short-term dip.

Zooming out, the setup remains bullish. But as any experienced trader knows, macros make the map.

Want the short version?

Bitcoin’s strong, CPI’s critical, and the market mood is eerily calm. This week could rewrite the narrative OR delay the breakout. Either way, it’s one to watch closely.
