Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

A hotter-than-expected October CPI print triggered $178 million in crypto long liquidations within one hour as traders were forced out of leveraged positions. The rapid unwind highlights crypto's growing sensitivity to macroeconomic data and its interconnection with traditional finance. The selloff spanned major tokens and chains, though the article did not break out figures by asset. Traders will now watch whether leveraged positioning rebuilds or stays defensive ahead of the next inflation and Fed signals.
