December's core CPI figures surprised the market, coming in below what the majority of Bloomberg's surveyed forecasters had anticipated. Out of 73 predictions tracked, the actual reading beat expectations in 62 cases—a notable divergence that could reshape expectations for the Fed's policy path heading into 2025. When inflation cools faster than consensus bets, it typically sparks fresh debates around rate cuts and monetary easing timelines, directly influencing risk appetite across digital assets.

Buddy, the data deviation is too outrageous, 62 predictions proven wrong... Why isn't the crypto market celebrating yet? --- CPI below expectations = increased expectations of interest rate cuts. Is this really happening or just another false alarm? --- Laughing out loud, Bloomberg's team is really this level, they can even guess wrong blindly. --- If the interest rate cut cycle begins, risk assets will take off again. Are you in a good position? --- It seems the Federal Reserve might change its tone next. Let's wait and see how it develops in the first half of next year. --- On a side note, such data deviations are actually opportunities. Smart people have already started positioning themselves. --- Has inflation really cooled down? Or is it just short-term data fluctuation, and they dare not act rashly? --- 233 is again hyping expectations of rate cuts. Digital assets are being led around by the nose by data.

Bro, these numbers are about to explode, 62 out of 73 predictions all missed? Bitcoin is about to have a wild celebration this wave --- Inflation is dropping so fast... Does the Federal Reserve need to change its tone? Digital assets are waiting to buy the dip --- 73 predictions, 62 missed. How outrageous is that? Looking forward to the rate cut cycle in 2025 --- Wait, does this mean liquidity will be loose next year? The crypto circle should be getting ready --- CPI is cooling off sharply, can the Federal Reserve still achieve a soft landing? I’m starting to believe it --- Damn, with these numbers, is it still a good time to buy Ethereum now? --- Below expectations by so much... Fund managers must be crying their eyes out, which is actually good news for the blockchain space --- 73 predictions, 62 lost... Wall Street’s forecasts are getting worse and worse. We should rely on on-chain data instead

62 Predictions That Hit the Mark? Wow, these numbers are pretty intense. The crypto market is about to take off. As expectations of interest rate cuts emerge, funds are flowing into risk assets. This rally might last for a while. Bloomberg people really overestimate inflation every time. Wait, could it be a repeat... wasn't it the same last year? The policy path in 2025 is really uncertain; it depends on how the Federal Reserve responds. Has inflation really decreased? Then I should reposition my USDC. With a 62:11 ratio, the market is collectively bearish. The contrarian move is coming. This data seems better than expected, but not good enough to make me go all-in. With the interest rate cut window opening, I am optimistic about the performance of small-cap coins in the next few days.

Hey CPI is causing trouble again, the big bears should be excited now --- 62 face-smashing predictions? Laughing out loud, Wall Street's crystal ball is malfunctioning again --- Once the rate cut expectations emerge, the crypto market will have to dance. Let's wait and see how 2025 plays out --- Inflation can drop at any time, feels a bit too smooth... it's really just a smokescreen --- The Federal Reserve's policy direction has changed, which might be a good sign for BTC --- 73 predictions, 62 missed the mark, this data is quite surprising... wallets are about to start moving --- Is the easing cycle coming? Is the all-in opportunity here --- Inflation cooling faster than expected... feels like the next step will be a rate cut frenzy --- Risk appetite is changing, that group in the crypto circle must already be dancing on the edge of leverage --- Wait, what is 62 face-smashing predictions... Could it be that this time the data really exceeded expectations downward?

62 predictions were proven wrong, now the Fed's interest rate cut storyline has to change, and the crypto market's upside potential has increased again.
