#比特币对比代币化黄金 Tonight at 11 PM, the September core PCE data will be released—market expectations are at 2.9%, unchanged from the previous value.
But beneath the calm numbers, undercurrents are stirring.
Remember last year's "data trap"? When everyone thought meeting expectations meant they could sleep soundly, the market staged a dramatic 5% plunge within 15 minutes of the release. Countless high-leverage positions were wiped out in an instant, while the real buyers had already positioned themselves at the panic-driven lows.
This is no coincidence—it's the classic expectations management game: use in-line data to lull nerves, then use unexpected volatility to complete the shakeout.
Practical advice? Forget the numbers themselves and watch the price action: • Sharp V-shaped dip right after the data release? Don't rush to sell—it could be the final washout. • Price barely moves after the data drops? That's when you need to be most cautious—the real direction often brews in silence.
The price trends of $BTC and $ETH are never decided by the data itself—but by those interpreting the data, deciding what they want you to see.

The data isn't important; what's important is who's running the game.
---
Here we go again? Didn't we learn enough from last year's lesson?
---
Just keep watching the charts, doesn't matter in the end—we always get dumped on.
---
I believed in that whole "silence is brewing" thing, but ended up bagholding again.
---
Got it, the whales are putting on a show and we're just the audience.
---
Deep V wick? Why do I always end up selling at the lowest point?
---
I've heard "expectation management" so many times it's ringing in my ears—cutting losses is still the most practical.
---
They talk a good game about price action, but it's really just a game of spite.
---
"Meeting expectations is the most dangerous"—that's never been wrong.

Behind those seemingly calm numbers, it's all tricks. Falling for it once is enough.

Lao Wang, I just want to say, so what if the data is out? In the end, it's all up to the whales anyway.

Oh my, it's that expectation management thing again. I got burned by it last year, seriously unbelievable.

Here we go again? I stopped trusting this data a long time ago—the real key is watching the charts.

Here we go again? Watching the whale's moves is better than looking at the data.

Same old trick again—numbing people with data and profiting from volatility. I got caught in the crossfire during last year’s crash, so now I can only laugh when I see articles like this.

I still remember that 5% plunge last year. I sold at the bottom right away, and thinking about it now, I still want to curse myself.
