Tonight at 9:30 PM, the US CPI data will be released, which will basically set the tone for the recent market trend. Based on current forecasts from various institutions, there is not much suspense regarding the core data.

Let's review three possible scenarios—if the CPI data exceeds expectations, the Federal Reserve's room to cut interest rates will be locked, the US dollar will appreciate, and risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to face downward pressure; conversely, if the data is below expectations, market expectations for rate cuts will increase, and additional funds will flow back in, making these types of coins more likely to rebound; what if the data exactly meets expectations? That would be the most boring scenario, with a high probability of sideways consolidation and no clear trend.

Rather than guessing blindly, it's better to stay calm and observe. Entering the market impulsively at this time carries the greatest risk. Wait until the data is actually released and the market reaction is clear before taking action; the success rate will be much higher.
