Crypto Giants’ Secret Playbook Before CPI Shakes the Market

Behold, the shadowy titans of cyberspace-crypto whales-make their stately pirouettes beneath the looming specter of the U.S. CPI print on September 11. The market, that fickle beast, holds its breath before the Federal Reserve’s September symphony, where the notes of interest-rate cuts might be whispered. Job growth stifles like a tired candle, unemployment tiptoes upward, begging policy makers to ease their iron grasp. Inflation? Ah, that sly puppeteer, will dictate whether these cuts are but a gentle lullaby or a thunderous roar.

In this waltz of uncertainty, our aquatic leviathans splash selectively-an alchemy of recklessness, prudence, and an elegant in-between. Cast your gaze upon the three tokens that tempt the hunger of whales before the CPI curtain lifts.

Ethena (ENA)

Ethena (ENA), sprightly as a summer’s day after rain, rallies 11% in but 24 hours, extending its embrace to a 22.7% weekly dance. With the CPI’s ominous approach, ENA stands as a balanced hymn. Stablecoin-linked tidings-Binance welcoming Ethena’s USDe to the grand ball and the dramatic debut of USDm with MegaETH-lend the network air of credence.

What is this but a sturdy vessel in whales’ eyes, ready to weather either CPI’s chill or fiery breath, capturing both risk-on fervor and stablecoin sanctity?

Ethena rises

Whales, quick as nervous poets, added 8.25 million ENA tokens in the past week-roughly $7 million of digital dreams at $0.84 each. Exchange piles shrink by 1.44%, a gesture that whispers accumulation-not the melancholy sigh of profit-taking.

The Money Flow Index, that sneaky arbiter of inflows and outflows, rises serenely since late August while ENA’s price consolidates-a secret waltz of buyers who seize the dips with the punctuality of Russian trains.

Money Flow Index rising

Chart whispers are measured: ENA has vaulted over $0.77, now facing the gatekeeper at $0.87. Should the candle close above, the path unfurls to $0.95 and the dreamier $1.16. Yet, beware-the carnival ends if ENA tumults below $0.60. So far, the whale murmurings and dip-buying ballads promise ENA a dance through CPI’s storm, alive and eager.

Uniswap (UNI)

Ah, Uniswap (UNI)-the decentralized bazaar’s shining token-tiptoes upward by 3.5% in 24 hours, waltzing 2% this week. Three months of gains totaling 16% play against a backdrop of DeFi’s resurgence, its treasure trove swelling beyond $160 billion in value locked. UNI, that bold flirt of risk-on plays, entices whales like moths to the flame of CPI’s looming spectacle.

Uniswap momentum

Since September 4, whales hoarded 40.82 million UNI-nearly $398 million pocket change at $9.75 a token. This giddy accumulation suggests an unshaken faith in UNI’s DeFi dominion, even if inflation decides to rain hotter surprises, muddling rate-cut expectations.

Uniswap RSI chart

The Relative Strength Index, that moody oracle of momentum, croons a hidden bullish tune. UNI’s price steps higher, while RSI dips below-a classic cryptic signal promising the trend’s grand continuation rather than a mournful retreat.

With prices rallying like a poet’s spirits, a close above $9.86 may pave a path to $10.70 and, who knows, the elusive $11.60. Meanwhile, $9.10 stands guard, lest darkness fall.

Ondo (ONDO)

Ondo (ONDO) skips 5.7% higher in a day, edging 6% this week, despite sulking with a negative 30-day scorecard. Why? Because whales have a penchant for dramatic gestures, piling on from 7.77 to 8.08 billion ONDO since September 4-a $300 million moonlit banquet.

Ondo whale accumulation

Anchored in the realm of real-world assets, ONDO is no mere gambler but a tempered player. To the whales, this means a balanced bet ahead of the CPI oracle’s revelation. Should the numbers cool, ONDO rides the rally; should they burn, the steady pull of tangible assets keeps demand afloat.

Ondo chart

Charts proclaim ONDO’s victory over resistance at $0.95, tones now brightening as the Bull-Bear Power gauge whispers strength to the bulls. A daily close past $1.00 unveils targets at $1.11, while $0.91 stands to shield the ascent. Thus the whales persist, stacking ONDO amid choppy seas like captains of fortune.

BBP, that measure of battle beneath price, signals bulls in command-at least until sunken losses below $0.85 threaten to spoil the party.
