According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by higher than the expected 2.7%. Core inflation rose by 3.8%, higher than the expected drop to 3.6%.
These numbers mean that inflation is still high in the country and that it will likely struggle to get to Fed’s target of 2.1%. It has remained between 3.2% and 3.3% in the past few months as the Fed has maintained rates at a 22-year high fundamental catalyst although one can also “play the range” by sell at support and selling at resistance.

This is followed by the very important 200-day SMA, currently pegged near the $1,967 area, which if broken decisively will be seen as a fresh trigger for bearish trades.
