🚨 December US CPI & Job Data Leaks — The Only Post You Need Before January 🚨
Guys, new year is coming and Christmas is here, but lets be honest — this Christmas the Fed didn’t give us any gifts. We all thought Powell Santa will drop some surprise for the market, but nothing happened. No rate cut, no big move. Now everyone asking the same thing… will the real gift come in the new year?
Let’s see what December US data is really saying.
December inflation is expected around ~2.7% YoY and ~0.2% MoM. Inflation is cooling, but it’s cooling in a smooth way, not crashing. No sudden drop, no new spike. From Fed side, this is good progress, but not enough to rush any decision.
On the job side, December hiring expected to stay soft but still positive, and unemployment near ~4.5%. That means labor market is loosening slowly, not breaking. No panic signals, no stress data, just gradual cooling. That’s why Fed feels ok to wait.
So what this means for January and $BTC price?
This setup is actually supportive for BTC. Cooling inflation and soft labor keeps liquidity hope alive, and that can help BTC stay strong or slowly move up in January. But don’t expect straight moon just because new year started. BTC can move on expectations, but real push only comes if January data confirms this trend.
Now about the February rate cut. With December CPI around ~2.7% and jobs cooling but stable, Fed has no emergency reason to cut in February. That’s why February odds are around ~40–50% now. December sets the direction, but January CPI and January jobs decide the timing. If January data weakens more, February still possible. If not, cuts move to March or May.
So Christmas gift didn’t come, but new year gift is still possible — just not guaranteed. Fed is waiting, market is waiting, and January will decide.
Keep thinking.. 🎅
