🌍 Which Macro Indicator Matters Most in Trading? | Gate.io Insight
In volatile markets, one macro indicator often leads the rest: U.S. CPI (Inflation Data).
CPI shapes Fed rate expectations, which drive liquidity, risk appetite & crypto flows
Higher CPI → Rate hike fears, stronger dollar, weaker BTC/ETH momentum
Lower CPI → Risk-on mood, inflows to BTC, ETH, and altcoins
CPI directly impacts bond yields, and yields guide crypto’s short-term trend
Every major BTC breakout this year followed cooling inflation expectations
Smart traders watch CPI first, then jobs & GDP
CPI sets the tone for funding rates, OI expansion & market sentiment
For crypto traders, this is the macro heartbeat behind every major move
