December US consumer prices came in at 2.7% year-over-year, meeting expectations. But here's where it gets interesting—core CPI only printed 2.6%, beating the 2.7% consensus forecast.

When inflation reads cooler than expected, markets tend to celebrate. And that's exactly what happened. Risk assets exploded higher. Small-cap stocks ran, and Bitcoin caught the upside momentum too.

On the trading side, yesterday's signals continue to deliver. Long positions on Bitcoin and copper are both working out well. The macro backdrop is shifting, and that's opening doors for traders watching the right setups.

The core CPI this time is indeed interesting. Bitcoin has truly benefited from this boost, but it's hard to say how long this trend can be sustained.

Core CPI is performing so well, no wonder this rally is so strong.

Core CPI beats and the market immediately rallies. The market logic is really incredible haha Hey wait, are the bulls about to start storytelling again? Copper and Bitcoin rising together—this combo is a bit strange As soon as inflation data improves, everything soars. Can this wave hold up? Macroeconomic changes open the door... sounds just like the next trap
