#美国核心物价涨幅不及市场预估 US December core CPI just released, with a month-on-month increase of only 0.2%, directly below market expectations of 0.3%, and year-on-year remains at 2.6%. It seems only 0.1 percentage points away, but this could be a significant signal for cryptocurrency traders.

Previously, everyone feared a inflation rebound, worried that the economy was too strong and the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates unchanged. This data completely dispels that concern—especially with used car prices plunging by 1.1%. These specific figures directly indicate that inflationary pressures are truly easing. Once the data was released, Nasdaq futures and the crypto market immediately reacted, with Bitcoin even temporarily rebounding by $27 billion in market cap, enough to show that institutional funds have already started pricing in the expectation that "the Fed must take action."

More importantly, policy developments deserve attention. The push from the administration to cut interest rates is growing stronger, and this external pressure combined with real economic data suggests that the monetary environment in the first half of 2026 will likely be more accommodative than expected.

From a trading perspective, the situation is quite clear—inflation has been contained, and economic growth is beginning to soften, providing the Fed with ample room to cut rates. For crypto holders, this is a favorable macro backdrop: no vicious inflation eroding assets, coupled with expectations of rate cuts as support. The likely future scenario is that risk assets will gradually rise through repeated testing, until a genuine rate cut signal is finally confirmed.
