Inflation cools its hottest streak since 2020 — momentum play on Bitcoin
Created
Thesis
When inflation cools dramatically, the pressure on the central bank to raise interest rates disappears. Since Bitcoin and other risk assets thrive when borrowing costs stay low, this surprising drop in consumer prices acts as a green light for crypto investors. With the fear of rate hikes out of the way, the upward momentum toward $65,000 is likely to attract more buyers looking to ride the summer recovery.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long BTCUSD on the H4 timeframe. Entry condition: price crosses above $64,000 and the daily RSI is between 50 and 70 (indicating strong but not exhausted momentum). Exit condition: close the position if the daily CPI or inflation print exceeds expectations (event-driven exit) or if price drops below a 10% trailing stop from the peak.
