BAD CPI DATA JUST ROCKED THE CRYPTO MARKET!

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]Well, just 5 minutes ago, the United States released its newest CPI report, which is its inflation data for the month of April. And I'm not going to lie, it was a bit worse than analysts were expecting. Now, as a result of this, we've seen Bitcoin and the altcoin market start making some pretty crazy moves that are freaking everybody out.

[00:00:16]And so, what I wanted to do is just jump on real quick and make a video going over exactly what this inflation report said and what sort of impact I think it could have on the crypto market moving forward. So, we have a good bit to get into today. So, let's not waste any more time at all and let's jump straight on in. So, first and foremost, what we can see here is that CPI data, again, inflation data, came in at 3.8% when analysts were expecting 3.7%.

[00:00:39]Now, the reason it's so high in general, because I'm sure as many of you noticed, this is starting to climb up is because, of course, what we're seeing with oil.

[00:00:47]What you need to remember is that everything that is currently happening with the Iran war is directly impacting impacting oil. Iran is in control of the straight of Hormuz. The straight of Hormuse is responsible for the production of about 20% of the global oil supply. The straight of Hormuse has been closed. It's had a blockade. It's had a tax on ships. And so carriers are not going through. And therefore, the overall supply that is available to the world of oil is limited, which has caused prices to go up. And when the prices of oil go up, guess what?

[00:01:14]Everything goes up. What we can see is that year-over-year on the adjusted 12 months ended in April 2026, we can currently see that energy commodities as a whole are up 29.2%. We have gasoline all types up 28.4% and we have fuel oil up 54%.

[00:01:32]Which is crazy and I'm sure you have felt that at the gas station. Now it's not like this just impacts oil though guys. It's not like this just impacts energy. No, it impacts everything. What you have to understand is that when oil prices increase, it basically takes the whole market up with it. Because let me ask you something. You may say, "Well, no, oil prices won't make the cost of a phone go up. Oh, you think that's the case?" Okay, let me ask you something very simple. Whenever oil prices go up and all of these carriers, trucks, airplanes, etc. need to ship these phones off somewhere and the price of shipping them goes up, who you think is going to need that cost?

[00:02:05]You. So, guess what? This gets more expensive. Everything gets more expensive. Crops, products, everything when oil prices go up. And it's the reason why we've started to see a bit of an inflation problem recently. And that's what's really freaked out the market, right? People think that the Iran war is the thing everyone's scared of. It's not particularly the war. We've seen multiple wars in conflicts at least within the last 5 years. We've seen it before. What everyone's worried about is if the straight of moves remains closed and inflation remains elevated, what sort of economic impacts that could have on everything else as inflation rises and things cost simply too much for people to afford, right? And you are starting to see some of those effects in this inflation report. What we can see here is things like food away from home and even food at home are up over either at right under or right above 3%. You have food up 3.2 2% as overall you have all items currently up 3.8%. Now you are seeing a bit of pullback from some small things right you have used car and trucks still going down year-over-year are breaking flat on the last month you still have of course medical care commodities consistently falling which is good but most things especially in the month of April increased food at home food away from home everything energy related we saw a big jump in electricity we saw 1.6% 6% energy services which again makes sense. We've even started to see a jump of on things such as services less energy. So these are the services such as selture, shelter, transportation and medical services that are not involved in energy. And as you can see basically everything has spiked as a result of what is happening in the straightforward moves. Now through this news of course we have started to see the market get rejected. Bitcoin's price has pulled back to around $80,000. You got XRP just getting rejected off the top side of its own pennant. And then you have, of course, Salana getting rejected off that major zone of resistance at $97. And the reason why they're pulling back right now is again because people are concerned that this whole situation is starting to actually have an economic impact. You know, when the when the situation first started, I think a lot of us thought, hey, maybe this only lasts like a week or two, right? You remember when the whole Venezuela conflict, I would even really call that a conflict like thing happened. We were all like, "Oh my god, this could be bad." And then like nothing happened. I think some people assumed the Iran conflict could be that way. I told you all though. was like, "Listen, Iran is very stubborn and they're not Venezuela.

[00:04:14]It's different." Okay? And I think now that we're actually starting to see an economic impact as a result of the straight of four moves being closed, it's starting to worry people. And that's the reason why the market has responded as it has due to this news. Of course, and seeing the um inflation report coming in as it did. Okay. The thing is though, I'm sure many of you may say, "Well, Tyler, it's not even that bad though." Like realistically, if we look at these prices, I mean, Salana is just barely down. Bitcoin's just barely down. Ethereum is just barely down. And that's because although people are concerned, they're not freaking out quite yet because the market keeps edging everybody, right? It's making them think that there's some sort of solution coming along the way. I don't know if you guys saw this, but just last night, I don't know if I have it pulled up. Let me see here. Uh, no, I don't have it pulled up, but like Trump was basically going out and telling everyone, you need to buy stocks and you need to buy crypto because when this is over, man, the market's going up up up.

[00:04:59]So, there is still some optimism in the market that although inflation is climbing, that it's not a forever problem. It's just a right now problem, but people are still pricing it in, which is why you're seeing the market reacting so wildly to, of course, this news this morning. And so, this was an important thing to keep an eye on. And I do think the fact that we are seeing inflation coming in a bit higher than analyst expectations, I think that just goes to show that this is still a very unpredictable situation and the true economic domino effect that this could have is truly unknown. And that's why you do still need to be careful in crypto or even in stocks in a moment like this. Because when everybody thinks they have it figured out and every analyst in the world is also an economist somehow saying that they know exactly how it's going to play out, you have moments like this that make you realize that this could go any which way at any given moment and you need to just simply be prepared for that. Okay? And so that's a part of the reason why I've told you all consistently, don't trade based off politics. Don't trade based off the news. You need to have systems and strategies that work in moments no matter what happens in the news and no matter what happens or what a politician says. because I believe all politicians are liars and whenever I have that mindset, it makes it easier for me to trade no matter what they're saying, right? And so with that in mind, I just wanted to update you today and let you know, listen, the reason the market's going crazy is because inflation came in a little bit worse than expected. It makes sense why it's coming in so hot though because of course what we're seeing in the straight of moose. So it's not something to freak out about. You just have to be aware that the longer this Iran conflict goes, the more economic impact we will see on basically every major sector, especially in terms of inflation. And so the best thing to do going forward in my opinion is to stay the course. We've put in systems.

[00:06:30]We've put in strategies for Ethereum, Salana, XRP, Bitcoin, and other altcoins on this channel over the last few weeks to even make money in moments like this.

[00:06:38]And we've done just that. So we're going to continue to do that in these moments.

[00:06:41]We just have to play our cards carefully, especially over the next few days cuz things are going to get volatile as people wake up and see this news. Okay? So be very careful.
