U.S. inflation data is about to be revealed. The recent days have been very interesting — Bitcoin surged by 3.33%, and Ethereum performed even better, jumping to 5.87%.

The entire market now seems to be waiting for a signal. Before the data is released, bulls are eager to move, while bears are also watching closely. The key question is: will this wave continue to break upward, or will there be a correction?

From the market reaction, it’s clear that funds are pricing in the news in advance. But the uncertainty surrounding inflation data still exists. Is it a steady growth that will boost risk assets, or will the data exceeding expectations trigger risk aversion? We’ll find out in the next few hours.

BTC4,96%

ETH6,92%

ETH's recent surge is quite fierce, feels like betting on inflation data 🤔 --- Both bulls and bears are gathering strength. Who will break first? --- Funds have already priced it in, but I still don't dare to go all in. --- I'm just worried that if the data exceeds expectations, it will cause a sharp sell-off. --- Let's wait and see the dramatic reversal in a few hours. --- A 3% increase in BTC isn't a big deal; the key is whether ETH can hold up. --- Honestly, this feeling of waiting is the most uncomfortable.

Here we go again, looking at inflation data once more. It’s always the same cycle. Just now I was wondering if ETH’s recent rally can hold, but it still feels a bit shaky. This kind of pricing game before the data release is really boring. Instead of guessing long or short, it’s better to wait for the results. Come on, let’s see if this is just another false alarm. With Ethereum’s 5.87% increase, I bet it will give back half of it later.

Ethereum's surge is really impressive, but I still don't dare to go all in, after all, inflation data is right in front of us, feeling like I could be proven wrong at any moment. Let's wait for the data, anyway I'm used to this kind of anxious days. Is the market pricing in good news? Uh... I think it's more like gambling haha. If inflation exceeds expectations, it's an immediate gg, and then we’ll have to start over. People haven't even reacted yet, and the market is already moving, it's really absurd. These few hours are critical, it feels like the entire market is holding its breath. Wall Street is playing with fire, we're just along for the ride, who will win? Bitcoin's increase is only 3%, while Ethereum is directly over 5%, the gap is quite big. Is all the money flowing into Ethereum? Or is someone dumping? Let's wait for the results, everyone, praying that there won't be a crash.

ETH's recent surge is quite fierce, feels like funds are betting on inflation exceeding expectations for a positive impact. --- Right now is just a gamble, both bulls and bears are waiting for that moment. --- Really? To me, it looks like the main players are just shaking out their positions. --- We'll see in a few hours. I'll choose to stay flat for now. --- Bitcoin has only risen by a little over 3%, while Ethereum doubled in price. Something's not quite right. --- Is this a good pricing signal? I think it's just risk being priced in. --- In this kind of market, it's still about the data; everything else is just talk. --- If funds are pricing in advance, I just laugh. Just wait for the dump. --- The key is, how will the inflation data turn out? Guessing blindly now is pointless. --- Both bulls and bears are watching closely, retail investors are just waiting to be harvested.

Oh my, it's that data pricing game again. I bet five bucks and end up dumping. Oh my, Ethereum's surge is so strong. Could it be another reverse flag? Is the news about funds being pre-priced good news? I think it's more like a bluff. It's decided within these few hours. My heart can't take it anymore. Once the inflation data is out, it's either take off or plummet—no middle ground, right?
