US CPI “Crushed” — Liquidity Cycle Re-Accelerates 🚀
The January inflation print just changed the short-term macro landscape.
📊 The Data
Headline CPI (YoY): 2.4% (vs 2.5% expected, 2.7% previous)
MoM: 0.2% (vs 0.3% expected)
Core CPI: Stable
Inflation is cooling faster than projected — and importantly, without signs of economic stress.
This is the definition of a soft-landing setup.
Why This Matters for Crypto
1️⃣ Fed Pivot Back on the Table
With inflation easing, markets are now repricing the probability of a March rate cut above 50%.
Lower rates = cheaper liquidity.
Cheaper liquidity = flows into risk.
The Federal Reserve doesn’t need to stay restrictive if inflation is cooperating.
And crypto thrives on liquidity expansion.
2️⃣ Dollar Weakness = Bitcoin Strength
The DXY immediately pushed toward 2026 lows after the release.
Historically, when the dollar weakens, capital rotates into hard assets.
That includes:
Gold
Tech
And especially Bitcoin
Bitcoin isn’t just a risk asset — it’s an anti-dollar liquidity proxy.
3️⃣ Institutional Rotation Has Started
Nasdaq futures bounced.
ETF inflows are stabilizing.
Cash on the sidelines is rotating back into spot exposure.
This CPI print gives institutions the macro cover they needed.
🎯 What’s Next?
Short-term target:
$72,000–$74,000 resistance zone
If we flip $75K cleanly, the path toward new all-time highs opens quickly.
Volatility remains — but the fundamental fuel for a February–March rally just got ignited.
Inflation fear is fading.
Liquidity expectations are rising.
That’s the environment bull markets are built in.
