Bitcoin just bounced back above the $96K mark following today's December CPI release. The inflation numbers came through pretty much as expected, which is the key thing here. What's really catching traders' attention though is the latest CME FedWatch data—showing nearly 98% certainty that the Fed will keep rates steady when they meet in January. This kind of dovish signal is exactly what Bitcoin bulls wanted to see, especially after weeks of uncertainty around inflation dynamics and policy direction. The combination of stable pricing and no-cut expectations basically means the Fed's staying patient, which tends to support risk assets like crypto in the near term.

96k this rebound is pretty good, the Federal Reserve holding steady is really the aphrodisiac for Bitcoin --- Fed's inaction, this is the real positive news, that's what we wanted --- 98% chance of no rate hike, the bears are really done this time haha --- Stabilizing prices plus no cut in interest rates, this combo has really pushed the coins up --- Honestly, with the Fed doing this, cryptocurrencies really have a chance in the short term --- The bulls have been waiting for this dovish signal --- But still, be cautious, policy shifts are happening quickly --- CPI meeting expectations is key, at least there were no surprises causing a dump --- Risk assets are definitely set to benefit from this wave, let's wait and see the follow-up

96K is crucial. If the Fed doesn't tighten, the crypto market is about to take off.

Oh my, Fed really gave us face this time, with a 98% probability of holding steady? This is the signal we need.

Clap, 98% stable interest rate, this is the rhythm that Bitcoin wants to follow --- The Federal Reserve isn't cutting, so we can breathe a sigh of relief, feeling great --- 96K has stabilized? Then I need to increase my position and try --- This CPI data is really powerful, finally no more guessing riddles --- Once the dovish signal is out, the bears should admit defeat haha --- Stability is the best catalyst, no doubt --- After waiting so long, I finally got this news, feeling comfortable --- 98%, the Federal Reserve spoke quite loudly this time --- Risk assets are about to take off, get on or not? --- Now I can sleep peacefully

It has broken 96,000, and the Fed's inaction is the result? Wait, 98% sure they won't cut interest rates, and this is actually a positive? I'm a bit confused. CPI meeting expectations is indeed boring; the key is still the Fed's attitude. The Fed is starting to play dead again, is crypto about to take off? Can this recent wave still go up, or is a correction coming? Miners are smiling, retail investors should cut their losses. The Fed is not moving, and the coins are also stagnant. What kind of market is this?
