儘管美國消費者物價指數降溫，比特幣和山寨幣仍在下跌？

由於美國所有三個指數的期貨目前均處於負值區域，比特幣和山寨幣在採取任何重大舉措之前繼續採取觀望態度

Bitcoin and altcoins witnessed a brief moment of selling pressure after the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the month of August, with prices dropping more than 1% soon after the announcement. However, the trend quickly reversed, and both Bitcoin and major altcoins began to register gains.

在美國 8 月消費者物價指數 (CPI) 發布後，比特幣和山寨幣經歷了短暫的拋售壓力，消息發布後不久價格就下跌了 1% 以上。然而，趨勢很快就逆轉，比特幣和主要山寨幣都開始上漲。

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at an average price of $49,634. BNB is also up by 0.7%, dogecoin by 1.3%, and XRP by 0.4%. Chainlink, polygon, and shiba inu are also trading in green, registering gains of 1.2%, 0.8%, and 0.7%, respectively.

截至撰寫本文時，比特幣的平均交易價格為 49,634 美元。 BNB 也上漲了 0.7%，狗狗幣上漲了 1.3%，XRP 上漲了 0.4%。 Chainlink、Polygon 和 shiba inu 也呈現綠色交易，分別上漲 1.2%、0.8% 和 0.7%。

The year-over-year surge in the US CPI stood at 2.5%, which is quite on the expected lines, dropping from the previous 2.9%. The reading also marks a 20-month low for the inflation rate. Moreover, the core CPI also dropped to 0.3% from the earlier 0.4%.

美國CPI年增2.5%，低於先前的2.9%，完全符合預期。該數據也標誌著通膨率創 20 個月以來的新低。此外，核心CPI也從先前的0.4%下降至0.3%。

Traders and market analysts were expecting a lower rate of inflation, which could have signaled the Federal Reserve to begin cutting interest rates. However, the sticky inflation could delay the rate cuts further.

交易員和市場分析師預計通膨率將會下降，這可能預示著聯準會將開始降息。然而，黏性通膨可能會進一步推遲降息。

Earlier this year, the Fed had undertaken an aggressive campaign of interest rate hikes in a bid to curb the rising inflation. Now, with inflation cooling off a bit, the market is expecting the central bank to begin cutting rates.

今年早些時候，聯準會採取了激進的升息行動，以遏制不斷上升的通膨。現在，隨著通膨有所降溫，市場預計央行將開始降息。

According to the FedWatch Tool by CME Group, traders are now expecting the Fed to initiate its rate cut cycle next week with a 25 basis point reduction. Moreover, the futures are also pricing in a total of 100 basis points in cuts by the end of the year.

根據芝商所 (CME Group) 的 FedWatch 工具，交易員目前預計聯準會將於下週啟動降息週期，降息 25 個基點。此外，期貨也預計年底前將總共降息 100 個基點。

Bitcoin and Altcoins Waiting for US Futures, Fed Rate Cut Cycle

比特幣和山寨幣等待美國期貨、聯準會降息週期

Both Bitcoin and altcoins continue to adopt a wait-and-watch approach before making any big move as the futures for all three US indices are currently in the negative territory as of press time.

截至發稿時，比特幣和山寨幣在採取任何重大舉措之前都繼續採取觀望態度，因為所有三個美國指標的期貨目前都處於負值區域。

The Dow Jones futures are down by 0.03%, the S&P 500 futures are trading at a loss of 0.09%, and the Nasdaq 100 futures have dropped by 0.2%.

道瓊指數期貨下跌0.03%，標準普爾500指數期貨下跌0.09%，那斯達克100指數期貨下跌0.2%。

Meanwhile, the futures for the US short-term interest rates have dropped following the CPI report as traders have scaled back the expectations of a jumbo 50 bps Fed rate cut.

與此同時，美國短期利率期貨在 CPI 報告發布後下跌，因為交易員降低了聯準會大幅降息 50 個基點的預期。
