Quiet across the board in crypto and pre-market trading right now 🦗

Producer Price Index didn't shake things up much, but here's the thing—both headline and core PPI printed hotter than anticipated. That's the kind of data that stiffens Powell's spine. Don't expect any rate cuts flowing through May when he steps down from his post.

The correlation between Fed policy signals and market momentum stays tight. When inflation reads stay elevated like this, the central bank's timeline gets locked in place.

PPI has surged again, Powell definitely won't loosen his stance. Don't even think about it before May.

PPI is heating up again. Powell definitely won't hold back. Don't expect a rate cut in May.

PPI exceeded expectations again, so Powell definitely won't loosen up. Don't expect interest rate cuts before May; funds are already pulling back.

honestly if you're not analyzing the mempool impact of fed policy shifts, you're just guessing. ppi prints hotter → powell holds → liquidity dries up → gas fees spike. it's mathematically inevitable, yet people still surprised lmao

PPI has risen again, Powell, that old guy, will definitely hold on again. Don't expect to see interest rate cuts before May. This is why the crypto market is still sluggish.
