At 23:00 Beijing time on December 5, the US will simultaneously release three data bombs: September personal spending, December Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, and the one that makes the market most nervous—the September PCE Price Index.
Why is the PCE the most crucial? Because it's the Fed's core inflation indicator—it's even more important than CPI. The delay in releasing this data is already suspicious; once it's out, there's a high chance the crypto market will shake.
There are two possible scenarios:
First, if the PCE data cools down, it means inflation is receding. This is good for risk assets, capital will dare to flow out, and $BTC and $ETH could rebound on this momentum.
The second is more intense—if the PCE exceeds expectations, that's trouble. The market will immediately bet on the Fed staying hawkish, and crypto will be under short-term pressure.
In short, before 23:00 tonight, it's recommended to tidy up your positions. $BNB

Stirring things up again. Can PCE really determine the trend this time? Feels like they say this every time.
Betting on the data isn't as good as betting on my own reaction speed—I'm just watching and waiting anyway.
No matter how the market moves tonight, I'll still be the one trapped. I'm already numb to it.
Wait, the delayed release itself kind of hints the data is strong. That's a pretty bold move.
Can BTC really hold out until the Fed shows weakness? Feels like it'll never happen.

Oh man, PCE is really crucial—tonight’s probably going to be wild.
Gosh, another sleepless night watching the markets. Why does the Fed always have to stir things up like this?
Should I bet on PCE cooling off? Or bet on them staying hawkish? My nerves can’t handle this.
Gotta get my positions sorted before 11 PM, or I’ll be dreaming about it all night.
BTC is really going all out tonight—three data bombs in a row. This is getting interesting.
#美联储重启降息步伐 $BTC There's a tough battle to fight tonight.
