Tonight at 21:30, the December CPI data will be released, and this inflation report could influence the Federal Reserve's next move. If the data exceeds expectations, the market will reassess the pace of rate cuts, likely shifting from easing expectations to a wait-and-see stance—resulting in a probable rise in the US dollar and Treasury yields, while the appeal of non-yield assets like gold will significantly decrease. From a price perspective, once expectations reverse, gold is very likely to decline from its current position, with key levels such as 4550 and 4500 potentially serving as short-term support, followed by a rebound opportunity.

This type of data-driven market is the ultimate test of patience. Gold will experience quite volatile fluctuations, so it is highly recommended to set strict stop-loss points to prevent sudden market moves from wiping out profits. The commodity market indeed requires extra caution during this period.

If this CPI data explodes, gold might have to take a hit. Buying the dip around 4500 or cutting losses—it's all about who has the stronger mindset.

It should be pointed out that your set of argumentation frameworks contains obvious linear thinking pitfalls. Based on on-chain data and macro game theory historical retrospection, CPI data itself has long been priced in by the market, and the real variable lies in the expectation gap — but your article completely ignores the essential property of gold as a store of value. Let me be frank: the talk about stop-loss points is essentially a psychological comfort to avoid risk. The question is, do you really understand the hedging logic of gold relative to the US dollar depreciation cycle?

Once again, a single data point can cause chaos. I really don't want to bet on CPI anymore; it's too easy to get proven wrong. Last time, I thought it was stable, but it suddenly crashed, and luckily I kept my composure. This time, I'll stay on the sidelines and observe.

Listen, CPI data like this is indeed prone to surprises. If the 4550 level can't hold, I'll directly go short.

CPI data like this really is a harvest machine for retail investors. If gold drops below 4500, I'll just go all-in on the bottom. --- Still staying up late to watch the Fed's stuff. Gold is so volatile that you really need to set proper stop-losses, or one overnight gap could blow up your account. --- Honestly, I'm tired of hearing the logic that inflation data being off the charts is good for the USD. But gold still needs to respect technical analysis. --- Can that 4550 level really hold? Feels like it's about to break straight through. --- Every time, I say I will strictly stop-loss, but some people still hold gold futures and can't sleep, huh. --- When CPI data is released, both the crypto market and commodities get restless. Tonight's sleep is definitely going to be bad. --- Gold is dipping downward just right. I'm waiting to buy the dip around 4500. Instead of stressing over stop-losses, it's better to understand the support levels clearly. --- The Fed guys really know how to tease the market. Just one CPI report can make the whole market reverse.

It's another CPI night, and this wave of the market is indeed easy to get cut. Setting stop-losses is correct; otherwise, a gap could wipe you out. --- Can gold drop to 4500? That's a bit doubtful... but the Federal Reserve's move is indeed hard to predict. --- Bro, friends watching the market tonight should pay more attention. This kind of data-driven market is when irrational people get harvested. --- If the dollar really starts to rise, gold will have a tough time. Have you set your stop-loss levels? --- Honestly, is there a high chance that CPI will come in extremely high? It feels a bit like hype. --- That level at 4550 should still hold, but if it breaks, then it's really panic time. --- This wave of the market turned around too quickly. Those who didn't set stop-losses will have a hard night.

It's another domino market situation. As soon as the CPI data is released, you have to keep a close eye on the market. Honestly, it's just betting on the Fed's mood. Setting stop-losses sounds easy but is hard to implement; psychological resilience is the biggest challenge. When gold drops sharply, it's very easy to get caught. It looks like a rescue, but it's actually a trap. If the CPI surges, the dollar will take off. At that point, all interest-free assets will have to kneel, not just gold. If the 4500 level is broken, there might be surprises waiting behind, taking a hit before the rebound. In such moments, retail investors are most prone to impulsiveness; a single reckless move can wipe them out entirely.
