Exactly—the key distinction is “good data” vs. “new information.” If PPI comes in around expectations, the market may see it as confirmation of the CPI cooling trend rather than a fresh catalyst. That can produce a familiar pattern: PPI release → initial volatility → liquidity sweep → traders reassess → direction emerges. ETH's CPI reaction is a good example of why simply predicting “cooling inflation = bullish crypto” can be too simplistic. The bullish expectation may already be priced in before the number arrives. So tonight, I'd watch the market's reaction rather than the headline alone: 🟢 Soft PPI + sustained buying volume → stronger bullish confirmation. 🟡 In-line PPI + quick spike/reversal → likely another buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news reaction. 🔴 Hot PPI → potentially stronger pressure on BTC/ETH through yields and Fed expectations. The most important question isn't “Will PPI be good?” It's “After the number is known, are buyers still willing to pay higher prices?” That tells you much more than the headline itself.
