About USCPIHot4.2CoreCools
US May CPI rose 4.2% YoY, highest since April 2023 (prior: 3.8%), with energy up 3.9% MoM driving over 60% of the monthly gain. Core CPI rose just 0.2% MoM, missing the 0.3% consensus; the 2.9% YoY print is still the highest since September 2025. Headline is energy-driven; underlying pressure is easing. Goldman Sachs pulled its full-year cut forecast on June 7, pushing the last two cuts to 2027 and raising hike odds to 20%. June 16-17 FOMC is Chair Warsh's first. Watch for an easing bias drop.

#USCPIHot4.2CoreCools 🔥 US Core Inflation Cools, German Bonds Recover After Oil Shock
The May core CPI rose only 0.2% (compared to the previous month), lower than the forecast of 0.3% – a positive signal for the Fed ahead of Chairman Kevin Walsh's conference. The data helped bring the yield on 2-year US Treasury bonds down to 4.11%.
Previously, the surge in oil prices following President Trump's tough stance on Iran had dragged down German bonds. But thanks to the CPI meeting expectations, German bonds have almost fully recovered.
However, risky assets remain under pressure: 10-year French bonds fell by more than 6 basis points, and Italian bonds fell by more than 12 basis points.
Will the Fed actually raise interest rates before the end of the year now that inflation has cooled?
BlackRock is watching whether the US Iran energy shock is starting to feed into inflation, with economists expecting a 4.2% YoY jump.
For crypto traders, the danger is not only higher CPI.
The danger is the chain reaction.
Energy shock pushes inflation expectations higher.
Higher inflation keeps rate cut hopes weaker.
Weaker rate-cut hopes pressure risk assets.
Then BTC trades less like digital gold and more like high beta liquidity exposure.
That is why I would not only watch the CPI number.
I would watch how bonds, DXY, oil, and BTC react together after the release.
If BTC drops while oil and yields rise, that is macro pressure.
If BTC holds despite a hot print, that shows stronger demand underneath.

I’ll admit it—I got this one wrong. 🤷♂️
My expectation was that Trump would avoid escalating tensions with Iran ahead of key political events, but markets had other plans. The geopolitical shock quickly spilled into risk assets, putting pressure on both equities and crypto. 📉
Before the headlines hit, I believed $BTC had a clear path toward higher levels. Instead, momentum faded, price stalled, and sellers regained control.
Now all eyes are on the upcoming CPI release. 📊
With energy prices remaining elevated, inflation data could become a major catalyst for market direction. Even if numbers come in close to expectations, persistent inflation concerns may keep pressure on risk assets over the longer term.
One asset that continues to catch my attention is $MORPHO. 🔥
Despite broader market weakness, it has shown notable resilience. The project is starting to look like a serious contender in the DeFi space, and if adoption and capital inflows continue to accelerate, it could eventually challenge some of the established leaders. Definitely one to keep on the watchlist.
As for $HYPE, the move played out largely according to plan. 🎯
Price reached my target zone, I exited the position, and the trade followed the framework I established from entry to exit. The profits were expected—the speed of the market reaction following geopolitical developments was not.
⚠️ The next major test remains macroeconomic data.
Markets are already dealing with weakness across several fronts:
• Dollar Index under pressure
• Equities struggling
• Bitcoin losing momentum
• Risk appetite fading
That combination deserves respect.
I'm also watching key liquidity events closely. Large-cap narratives often attract significant capital flows, but they can just as easily create volatile pump-and-dump conditions when expectations become excessive. 👀
Regarding my current holdings—$EDU, $APT, and $AUCTION—nothing has changed.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Moves as US CPI for May Hits 2-Year High
• The May Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows U.S. inflation rose to 4.2%, the highest since April 2023, with Core CPI at a nine-month peak of 2.9%.
• The Federal Reserve's target inflation rate is 2%, raising concerns about potential future rate hikes that could negatively impact the crypto market.
• Bitcoin (BTC) initially surged to nearly $62,000 following the report but later settled around $61,500, with leading altcoins also reflecting similar volatility.
$BTC 🚨 Flash: Bitcoin Drops Below $61K as Geopolitical Tensions and Capital Outflows Bite
📉 Price Update
Bitcoin is currently trading at **$60,981**, down **2.5%** in the last 24 hours. It briefly broke below the $61,000 level, hitting a new low not seen since October 2024.
⚠️ Why It’s Dropping: Multiple Bearish Factors Align
1. Escalating Geopolitical Conflict: President Trump ordered a military response against Iran, escalating US-Iran tensions. Capital is rotating out of risk assets and into safe havens.
2. Macro Data Awaited: The US May CPI data is due tonight. If inflation surprises to the upside, the Fed’s tightening cycle could persist longer, weighing on risk assets.
3. Institutional Capital Outflows: From May 15 to June 8, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of approximately $4.4 billion. Institutional risk appetite continues to cool, with the AI narrative siphoning off risk capital that might have otherwise flowed into Bitcoin.
4. Technical Pressure: BTC has broken below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, maintaining a complete bearish alignment. The RSI sits near 24, in oversold territory.
🟢 Potential Positive Signal
On-chain data shows that about 10.46 million BTC are currently in loss. Historically, this level has often preceded a market bottom, suggesting selling pressure may be weakening.
🔮 Quick Take
$60,000 is the most critical psychological support level right now. Holding here could lead to a technical bounce; losing it may open the door to a deeper bear market. Tonight’s CPI data will determine the short-term direction.

US May CPI just hit 4.2% YoY, the highest since April 2023. But crypto bounced anyway.
Energy prices drove most of the move, up 3.9% MoM and responsible for over 60% of the monthly gain. The split that matters: core CPI rose just 0.2% MoM, missing the 0.3% consensus. That softer core print was enough to pull BTC back from the $60K edge to around $62K within hours of the release.
Headline hot, core cooling. Markets took the "less bad" reading as a relief.
The macro picture is still evolving though:
· Goldman Sachs scrapped all 2026 rate cut calls after the May jobs report
· Base case now: two cuts in 2027
· Some Wall Street forecasts now include a potential rate hike in 2027 if inflation stays elevated
· Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.89B in outflows in June before the data dropped
Then there's the Warsh wildcard. June 16-17 is his first FOMC meeting, and the single remaining 2026 cut in the dot plot is almost certain to disappear. More disruptive: sources say Warsh may scrap the dot plot entirely. He's spent years arguing against forward guidance, and this meeting could be where that plays out.
If the dot plot goes, the tool markets have used for years to price rate expectations goes with it.
How are you thinking about positioning around next week's FOMC? Holding, hedging, or sitting it out?
#USCPIHot4.2CoreCools

US CPI data will be released in ~30 minutes.
Expectations:
Headline CPI: ~4.2%
Core CPI: ~2.8–2.9%
Scenarios:
If above expectations: USD strengthens, risk assets come under pressure
If below expectations: risk appetite increases, possible rally
If neutral: choppy price action after initial spike
Volatility could be high.
Also, Trump’s recent comments suggest rising tensions with Iran.
Could be an important day for crypto markets.
Be careful with leveraged positions.#SpaceXIPOvsOpticsCrash
