"It’s CPI Day — market pops, then flops. Let’s talk about it."
Alright, folks — Garrett here, barely slept, powering through whatever flu variant just walked in from daycare, but we’re live and we’re locked in.
CPI just hit, came in at 2.3% — lower than expected — and like clockwork, the market popped on the headline, then rolled right over.
Let’s break it down.
Key Points:
CPI Undershoots — Market Pops, Then Pulls Back
- Came in lighter than expected at 2.3%.
- Reaction: immediate rally, then a fade — typical CPI day pattern.
CPI Treated Like the Olympics — With Less Insight
- You get the number. You get the knee-jerk move.
- But the real opportunity is after the dust settles, not before.
No Sleep, No Voice — Still Watching Every Tick
- Garrett’s running on fumes but still breaking down flow.
- Because this kind of day teaches you a lot about market behavior.
Today’s not about chasing the pop. It’s about watching where things settle.
Stay sharp, stay patient — and let the setups come to you.
Until next time,
Garrett Baldwin
