🚨 US Inflation Data – December | The Only Post You Need Before January 🚨
My friends,
The new year is just around the corner 🎄, but let's be honest…
The Federal Reserve didn't give any gifts this holiday.
Many thought Santa Powell would surprise the markets 🎅
But: ❌ no interest rate cut
❌ no surprise move
❌ no direct support for the markets
And the question now is:
Is the real gift coming with the start of 2026?
📊 What does the December data actually say?
🔹 Inflation (CPI):
▪️ Expected ~2.7% annually
▪️ ~0.2% monthly
Inflation is cooling ✔️
But calmly…
No collapse, no return to rising.
And for the Fed, this is good progress, but not enough for a quick decision.
👷♂️ The US Labor Market:
▪️ Jobs: Weaker than before but still positive
▪️ Unemployment: Close to 4.5%
The message is clear:
📉 Gradual cooling
🚫 No pressure
🚫 No panic
And this gives the Fed the luxury of waiting.
₿ What does this mean for BTC in January?
This scenario supports Bitcoin 👇
✔️ Inflation receding
✔️ Labor market cooling
✔️ Liquidity hopes are still alive
But…
❗ Don't expect a direct rise just because the year has changed.
BTC may move on expectations,
But real momentum needs confirmation from January data.
