The latest data as of December 19th: The expected end-of-period inflation rate in the US for December is 4.2%, and this time it didn't leave the market any face—it's not only higher than the expected 4.1%, but also increased from the previous month's 4.1%.
The market originally hoped that inflation could decline gradually, giving the Federal Reserve a reason to cut interest rates. But based on this data, things are not so optimistic. The pace of inflation decline is much slower than expected, which directly impacts the outlook for the entire rate-cutting cycle.
For the crypto market, this means the US dollar may stay high for a longer period. The longer the tightening of liquidity persists, the greater the pressure on risk assets. High-volatility assets like SOL are more vulnerable under such uncertainty. Therefore, we need to continue closely monitoring inflation data and the Federal Reserve's attitude changes.

The interest rate cut dream is shattered, the Fed is up to tricks again
SOL has to wait a bit longer, this market is really tough
Inflation has shot up again, who said it would go down
The Americans are really playing hardball
Continue to observe, don't rush to buy the dip, everyone

The interest rate cut dream is shattered, and the Fed still has to hold on.
Inflation just won't come down, and the sol folks are really going to suffer.
Another "data that didn't leave any face for the market," and the room for maneuver is getting smaller.
With the dollar strong, our risk assets have to be suppressed; that's the reality.
Waiting for an interest rate cut until my hair turns gray, and it still hasn't come.
To be honest, with inflation being so sticky, the interest rate cut cycle is likely to be delayed again.

The dream of interest rate cuts is shattered again, this time inflation really didn't show any mercy
---
Damn it, another 4.2%, I knew it wouldn't be that simple
---
The dollar is locked in, SOL has to keep taking hits
---
Wait, does this data indicate that rate hikes will continue?
---
The funding situation remains tense, who dares to take a Heavy Position? I'm really scared
---
With such strong inflation persistence, the days of the Fed's iron-handed rate cuts are still far away
---
Damn, I originally wanted to buy the dip on SOL but it looks like I need to wait a bit longer
---
High inflation + strong dollar = a nightmare for risk assets, simple and brutal
---
Brothers, honestly, how have you survived in this kind of market?
---
So next, it's just about watching the FED's mood, it's too exhausting.

The interest rate cut dream is shattered, and the Federal Reserve is still pretending to be dead.
Inflation stickiness is so strong that there's really no sign of a turnaround in the short term.
Another wave of market manipulation, why does SOL seem to be falling the fastest?
The strong dollar cycle isn't over yet; how long will crypto be trapped?
Instead of waiting for a rate cut, it's better to wait for the next risk event.
Thinking of a gentle decline to 4.2%—this market really likes to deceive itself.
If crypto liquidity gets frozen again, I might as well liquidate everything.

The interest rate cut dream is shattered... 4.2% is really incredible.
Federal Reserve: I'll just watch your expectations.
Is SOL going to get beaten again?
Inflation's stickiness is so strong, it's really never-ending.
Liquidity remains cold... life is unbearable.
