Bitcoin Dips Below $37,000 Ahead of US CPI Data
Bitcoin experienced a surge to nearly $38,000 last week, marking its first such peak since May 2022. However, the cryptocurrency faced a retreat, sliding to $36,880 as traders awaited the release of Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on Tuesday. The overall CPI, a closely watched inflation indicator tied to changes in the cost of living, is expected to show a 0.1% increase from the previous month in October. This marks a significant shift from the 0.4% rise observed in September.
In his recent speech, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated that the US central bank would not hesitate to raise interest rates to ensure price stability. Powell expressed skepticism that the Fed had reached a sufficiently restrictive stance.
Bitcoin traders remain cautious as the core CPI inflation rate, excluding volatile items like food and energy, indicating a long-term inflation trend, is predicted to stay at 4.1% YoY and 0.3% MoM.
This price dip in Bitcoin ahead of the CPI data underscores the market's sensitivity to inflation figures and central bank policies. Investors are monitoring these developments closely as they assess the potential impact on the cryptocurrency market amid broader economic uncertainties.
