The Crypto Market Boosted by a Falling CPI: Solana and Chainlink Benefit

The Crypto Market Boosted by a Falling CPI: Solana and Chainlink Benefit

The crypto rally intensifies after a 2.7% CPI (below the expected 2.8%). Solana (SOL) jumps 12.9% to $198.48 and Chainlink (LINK) 12.5% to $24.21. Ethereum (ETH) itself climbs to $4,670. But the rise of leverage revives the risk of liquidations. More details follow in the paragraphs below.

In Brief

  • The post-CPI crypto rally is driven by institutional flows and hopes for interest rate cuts.
  • The rise of leverage and open interest increases the risk of liquidations on altcoins.

Post-CPI rally: key figures and institutional driver

The inflation surprise fuels the probability of a Fed rate cut as early as September. This stimulates crypto demand. Altcoins follow:

  • ADA at $0.85;
  • DOGE at $0.23;
  • SUI at $3.91;
  • XRP at $3.25.

Above all, the market narrative is evolving. It mainly refers to institutional flows driving crypto assets beyond simple retail momentum. This structural change could extend the rally, especially if macroeconomic data confirm the Fed accommodative scenario.

It remains to be seen if the historical Bitcoin to altcoin rotation movement will repeat as professional appetite dominates. Meanwhile, the crypto asset prices respond strongly to macro signals and Fed announcements.

Leverage, open interest and reversal risk

Some crypto analysts point to an aggregated open interest rising from $26 billion to $44 billion in one month on derivatives. This shows not only appetite but also market fragility.

In a reflexive crypto environment, the increase fuels euphoria until the first shock. A simple rally exhaustion or a macro surprise can thus trigger liquidation cascades.

For altcoins, more sensitive to leverage, risk discipline becomes key:

  • position sizes;
  • stops;
  • warnings on open interest and spreads…

Indeed, as long as the CPI trajectory and Fed messaging remain favorable, institutional flows support can extend the current crypto trend.

In any case, the post-CPI crypto momentum is real. However, the rise in leverage requires strict risk management. A macro catalyst can reverse the crypto dynamic in a few hours.
