#美国消费者物价指数发布在即 Yesterday a small dip, and global funds instantly tightened up

Recently, this kind of volatility is really unusual:

US stocks fell somewhat sharply, with the Dow down 0.09%, the S&P 500 down 0.53%, and the Nasdaq down 1%. Oil fluctuated between $59 and $62, finally closing flat. The US dollar index also turned downward. But here’s the interesting part—gold, silver, and $BTC $ETH actually rose.

What does this reveal?

The logic behind the correlation of various assets on Wednesday is actually quite clear: on one side, selling off the dollar and US stocks (trust issues), on the other side, reluctant to sell gold, silver, and $BTC $ETH (also afraid to truly escape). When silver didn’t surge on that day, bullish traders hesitated to chase, and bears hesitated to push, everyone was holding back, waiting for a new story to reprice. This is a typical scenario—when the market departs from fundamentals and is driven solely by narratives, it enters a dangerous zone of high volatility and high uncertainty.

Risks are constantly changing hands: on Monday, fears about the Fed’s independence (Powell being summoned); on Tuesday, fears of stopping rate cuts; and on Wednesday, concerns about geopolitical issues (Greenland, Iran), one after another.

There’s a detail many overlook—everyone is watching VIX (currently at 16.75), but savvy funds are paying attention to VVIX. VVIX has broken 100 (closing at 104.85), what does this mean? The market isn’t just betting on declines; it’s buying insurance against "complete emotional out-of-control." This is a sign of quite high-level anxiety.

BTC-0,33%

ETH-1,09%

BNB-0,48%

Uh, VVIX breaking 100 is really incredible, and the concept of emotional insurance is amazing... While a group of people are still watching VIX, others are already paying the price for losing control.

Really, the moment VVIX broke 100, I knew something was going to happen. Large funds had already been buying insurance against a crash. Narrative-driven markets are incredible; it's impossible to find the right direction. Let's wait for the CPI data. I feel this is just the appetizer. BTC still dares to rise at this time; there must be some strength behind it. Risks are coming one after another; who can withstand it? Not trusting the dollar system but reluctant to sell coins—it's a classic case of wanting everything and being sick about it. Can't hold on anymore; the market is just betting on the next story.

Everyone is waiting for a new story to set the price, but I think this story has been told to death already. Breaking 100 on VVIX is the real meaning; the market is just holding back, and anyone who dares to move first will be doomed. Bitcoin is now rising strangely, feeling like the precursor to the final frenzy. Once the CPI data is released, it will be a reshuffle again. Just hold on to gold and silver for now. --- Don’t ask me why I’m still playing with BTC, brother, I just can’t let go. --- Honestly, this thing is just capital fighting back; no one dares to truly exit the market. --- Even with VVIX at this level, some still watch VIX every day. It’s time to wake up. --- It feels like the whole market is just waiting for a complete collapse, and CPI data might be the trigger.

Here he goes again. When VVIX broke 100, it was really frightening. This is definitely not a correction; it's an emotional explosion. Honestly, no one knows what tomorrow will look like. During this period waiting for the CPI, the market is just strapped to a chair waiting for the execution.

Everyone is waiting for the CPI trigger; the market is truly sitting and waiting this week. The VVIX breaking 100 is indeed a fierce detail; big funds have already hidden. Wait, why hasn't silver shown any movement yet?

Wow VVIX breaks 100, this is the real living hell --- Waiting for the story to be re-priced again, in plain words, no one dares to move --- Gold, silver, and Bitcoin rise together, US stocks and the dollar fall, this mindset is incredible --- Emotional out of control, buying insurance? Ha, nice words, but actually just betting on the market to crash --- Changing a panic point every week, really playing retail investors like a fiddle --- VVIX 104, that number looks terrifying --- Selling off the dollar and US stocks while holding on tightly to Bitcoin, such a contradiction --- Both bulls and bears are on the sidelines, waiting for a story to buy in? Ha --- This wave of volatility is indeed strange, a market driven by narratives is the most damn dangerous --- CPI hasn't been released yet, but all kinds of expectations already blow people's minds
