I like it and I believe BTC has found the bottom IF the markets remain steady. Big money knew something before the CPI numbers were released cause the week and days leading up there was heavy volume.

I don’t invest directly in crypto so I bought BRPHF in the $2.70 - $3.00 range.

yet…core cpi isn’t cooling fast enough, unemployment isn’t tanking, and the treasuries are holding up.

Janet’s news could be the political pressure needed to drop rates. If they drop rates, we all should expect more inflation which isn’t good for our country or currency.

Inflation is dropping. I’m hoping for a soft landing. Inflation didn’t pop up overnight and it won’t drop as quickly as we want, without causing a recession.
 
Inflation isn’t dropping much. Started 22 around 6 and ended around 5.7%. This gives Powell the room to keep hiking rates especially if inflation doesn’t keep on the downward trajectory in Q1. That was my simple point.

If the Fed was waiting for a drop in inflation, we saw it today with PPI and retail sales.
I would think the Fed will pause, with a possibility of a 25 increase.

Yes it does. There is room for smaller 25 increases, but todays PPI and retail sales show different, imo. That is why we had an initial pop.
Now we are seeing fear that the economy is slowing down and that stock prices will be affected.
 
Investing is usually very complicated, but sometimes quite easy, as in "Dont fight the Fed".
