A quirk in how stocks trade after inflation data is pointing to more gains — good for stock investors, but Bitcoin holders don't get the same boost.

• When stocks finish the first hour after a CPI release in the green, the full day closes green 69% of the time.
• The stronger signal is the day after: it closes green 77% of the time.
• Stocks did close that first hour higher this time, so the rest of the day and the next trading day both lean positive.
• Bitcoin does not share these odds — the same post-CPI pattern doesn't hold for crypto.

Outlook: Stocks look set for a green finish and a positive start to the following week, while Bitcoin is on its own.
