Analysts eye Bitcoin rally after bullish CPI print
Sustained outperformance may hinge on whether US President-elect Donald Trump implements pro-crypto policies once he takes office on Jan. 20.
Cryptocurrency analysts are turning bullish after favorable US inflation data sent Bitcoin (BTC) surging some 3% amid hopes of more interest rate cuts.
On Jan. 15, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report tipped lower-than-expected core inflation in December, causing Bitcoin’s spot price to rally from around $96,000 to nearly $100,000. Other assets, including stocks and gold, also surged.
Futures markets assign a roughly 30% chance of the Federal Reserve, America’s central bank, cutting interest rates in March, according to CME FedWatch. Rate cuts generally benefit crypto.
