Inflation slowed more than expected in January, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Friday. This first report of the year was highly anticipated after being delayed by the recent government shutdown.
The Consumer Price Index increased 0.2% on a seasonally adjusted basis in January. Over the last 12 months, consumer prices increased 2.4% before seasonal adjustment, down from 2.7% in December. This is slightly below the 0.3% monthly increase and the 2.5% annual increase economists were anticipating.
Core CPI, which excludes energy and food items, increased 0.3% over the past month. It rose 2.5% over the last 12 months — the lowest increase since 2021, easing some worries about the impact of the Trump administration’s tariffs.
Here’s what the latest CPI report means for your household.
Housing costs remain a key driver of inflation
Housing costs continue to weigh on homeowners and renters.
​​The index for shelter rose 0.2% in January and was the largest factor in the all-items monthly increase, climbing 3% over the past year. Despite the increase, this measure rose at half the pace it did in the previous month, signaling that things could be moving in a more positive direction.
Groceries are still putting a damper on Americans’ budgets
The overall index for food increased 0.2% in January, as did the index for food at home. There was a rise in 5 out of 6 grocery store indexes, including cereals and bakery products, meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. The biggest increase: cereals and bakery products, which saw a 1.2% increase last month.
Beef and veal prices, on the other hand, which were closely monitored in 2025 as a barometer of food affordability, saw a small decrease of 0.4%. Egg prices — another closely watched staple — fell by 7%.
Lower energy costs helped offset other expenses
Lower energy costs helped offset higher costs in other areas. This index decreased 1.5% in January, due mostly to lower fuel oil and gasoline prices, falling 5.7% and 3.2%, respectively. According to AAA, the national average gas price for regular gas sits at $2.94. That’s compared to $3.16 just one year ago.
Despite it being a post-holiday season, travelers are still facing sky-high airfare. The index for airline fares increased 6.5% over the month — so if you plan to travel soon, road-tripping may be the way to go.

XRP price jumped by over 4% today, February 14, reaching its highest level in over a week. It has now rebounded by over 30% from the year-to-date low of $1.1145.
Ripple token XRP has soared, mirroring the performance of the broader crypto market. Bitcoin jumped to $70,000, while other top cryptocurrencies like Zcash, Morpho, and Pippin soared by over 20%. The market capitalization of all coins rose by over 3.4% to over $2.38 trillion.
XRP jumped as investors reacted to the recent US macro data, which raised the possibility that the Federal Reserve will deliver more interest rate cuts this year. 
The report showed that the headline consumer inflation report 2.4% in January, much lower than December’s 2.6%. Core inflation, which excludes the volatile food and energy products, remained at 2.5%. These numbers mean that Trump’s tariffs have not had a major impact on inflation.
XRP price also jumped as the Ripple USD stablecoin continued growing after the recent Binance listing. It now has over $1.5 billion in assets, and its usage is increasing. 
Ripple Labs is working on new features that will lead to more XRP and RLUSD usage. They are working on the upcoming permissioned DEX feature. 
Permissioned DEX resembles that of other popular DEX platforms like Uniswap and PancakeSwap, with the only difference being that it controls who can place and accept offers. It will be a useful tool for institutions on the XRP Ledger.
XRP price technical analysis.
The daily timeframe chart shows that the XRP price bottomed at $1.1110 earlier this month and has now rebounded to $1.4700. This rebound has largely mirrored the performance of Bitcoin and other altcoins.
Still, the token remains below the important support level at $1.807, its lowest level in April, October, November, and December last year. It also remains below the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages.
The coin has remained below the Supertrend indicator. Therefore, while the Ripple price may have bottomed, there is a risk that the ongoing rebound may be a dead-cat bounce. 
A dead-cat bounce, commonly known as a bull trap, is a situation where an asset in a free fall rebounds briefly and then resumes the downtrend. A complete XRP rebound will be confirmed when it moves above the 50-day moving average and the resistance at $1.807.

Investors who are planning entries for 2026 are not just chasing hype anymore. They now look for strong fundamentals, real adoption, and long-term utility. Market cycles always reward those projects that keep building even during bearish phases. Today serious investors focus mainly on speed, security, and interoperability. There are many altcoins in the market, but a few clearly stand out — and among them #Solana , #Avalanche , and #Chainlink are strong contenders. These three projects combine performance, institutional interest, and expanding ecosystems, which makes them solid accumulation picks for the next cycle.
Solana ($SOL ) has once again proven itself as one of the strongest high-performance blockchains in the market. The network can process thousands of transactions per second, making it very attractive for developers building applications that need speed and efficiency. Low fees and high throughput allow DeFi platforms, gaming projects, and NFT marketplaces to run smoothly without congestion. Adoption is also growing steadily because developers prefer Solana for performance-based apps where user experience matters. Institutional interest is another positive sign, because when professional investors start entering, it usually reflects stronger confidence in the asset.

Avalanche ($AVAX ) stands out mainly because of its modular infrastructure. It allows companies and enterprises to build custom blockchain solutions that are both scalable and flexible. This is why it has secured strong partnerships over time. Enterprise adoption usually signals real-world use cases rather than just speculation, and that is what makes Avalanche a serious long-term project.

Chainlink ($LINK ) is often considered a backbone of the blockchain ecosystem because it connects smart contracts with real-world data. Without reliable data feeds, smart contracts become very limited. Chainlink provides secure oracle systems that power DeFi, insurance, gaming, and many other sectors. Its cross-chain connectivity can become a major pillar for the future blockchain industry.

CZ denies Binance ever traded on BitMEX or booked 60,000 BTC in hedge profits during the March 2020 crash, calling the viral allegation “fake news” and technically impossible.
CZ responds to a viral post alleging Binance hedged client flow on BitMEX for over 60,000 BTC in profit during the March 2020 “Covid crash,” dismissing it as fabricated “fake news”.He stresses that Binance “never traded on BitMex” and points to the exchange’s once‑daily withdrawal schedule at the time as a practical barrier to real‑time hedging of that size.Commentators and BitMEX itself say there are no records of such flows, framing the debate as another example of rumor‑driven FUD and how old anecdotes morph into conspiracy narratives.
Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has moved to quash fresh allegations that the exchange secretly booked more than 60,000 BTC in profits by hedging client risk on BitMEX during the March 2020 crash, dismissing the claim as “fake news” and emblematic of the rumor‑driven warfare that still defines much of crypto trading culture.

CZ pushes back on BitMEX hedge narrative
Responding to a viral post from Flood, CEO of fullstack_trade on Hyperliquid, CZ said the allegation that Binance hedged flow on BitMEX for over 60,000 BTC in profit during the Covid‑era liquidation cascade was entirely fabricated. “4. Fake news. They just making things up randomly now. Not sure what their goal is. I feel bad for the people believing this without seeing any proof,” he wrote, adding bluntly that “Binance never traded on BitMex.” Zhao tagged BitMEX co‑founder Arthur Hayes to underline a key operational constraint at the time, noting that “BitMex processes withdrawals only once a day,” a structure that would have made real‑time risk‑hedging of that magnitude effectively impossible.
Market participants quickly weighed in to deconstruct the 60,000 BTC storyline. “Exactly. BitMEX’s once-a-day withdrawal window back in 2020 made it impossible for an exchange to use it for a real-time hedge of that size,” commentator Murtuza J. Merchant argued, stressing that “no entity would trap 60,000 BTC in a manual multi-sig during a black swan crash.” He suggested the “60k figure is likely just a garbled memory of old” market anecdotes rather than a verifiable trade record. BitMEX itself has since confirmed that it has no records supporting the alleged flows and pointed to its upgrade from once‑daily batched withdrawals to real‑time payouts as part of broader infrastructure changes since 2020.

Many people are criticizing that the crypto is scam and Bitcoin is going back below $20,000. Here, I Believe that it is the start if Bitcoin super cycle.
There are Several reason that Crypto has Entered into Bull Market.
Bitcoin and ALT coins ETF Approval.
If you’ve seen how gold performed after ETF approvals, you’d be surprised. Many crypto investors are still inexperienced and don’t fully understand market statistics or macroeconomics.
Historically, gold never dropped back to its pre-ETF approval levels, and many analysts believe its long-term rally was fueled by ETF inflows. A similar pattern has also been observed in silver.
Bitcoin was trading around $42,000 when its ETF was approved. While there were many bullish factors at the time, I believe the recent all-time highs were strongly influenced by ETF-driven institutional demand.
Institution Adoption of Crypto.
Major global firms, asset managers, and banks are increasingly adopting crypto. If just 1–2% of their total capital flows into Bitcoin and Alt Coins, it could push prices to entirely new levels.
Under such conditions, Bitcoin potentially reaching $200,000 in the future is not an unrealistic scenario.
Binance Recent SAFU 15,000 BTC Purchase worth 1 Billion Dollar.
Binance world largest crypto currency exchange has recently purchased 1Billion worth of Bitcoin. Expanding the SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) shows financial strength and reassures users that their assets remain protected even in extreme situations. Crypto markets are highly volatile. A larger reserve acts as a safety buffer against hacks, liquidity shocks, or unexpected market stress.
While all of these highly reputed institution Blackrock and Grayscale etc, Exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, Firms like MSTR and Banks are adopting Crypto and Bitcoin and investing there Billions of Dollars in it so why do you think that you $1,000 are unsafe in Bitcoin. While it as already started adoption on Government level and the countries are announcing there reserve in Bitcoin.
Market dips are normal. But historically, major bull cycles have often begun when sentiment was most negative. That’s why I see this dip not as a warning sign, but as a potential opportunity.

Bitcoin rebound after the USA CPI Data announced the expectation was for 2.5% and the CPI come lower to 2.4% that indicating the inflation is cooling down in USA and also it increase the chances of FOMC to lower the interest rates. This kinds of news are highly bullish for crypto and other financial market.
Bitcoin retested the support trend line of falling wedge chart pattern that is a bullish reversal chart pattern. It has been up nearly 5% since yesterday. Bitcoin could extend the rally to $78,000 it i'll make a day close above the key psychological price of $72,000.
The Relative Strength Index is now finally come from the oversold territory now it is at 37, aiming upward indicating that the price could pump. While Moving Average Convergence Divergence MACD is near to make a bullish crossover indicating that the bearish momentum is getting weaker and bullish momentum is getting Strong.
however a rejection from the resistance of $72,000 will take down the price towards $67,000 again. it the decline may continue till $60,000.

The chances of FOMC to cuts the interest rates are higher, if the rates will cut this time bitcoin will surge drastic. However a rates pause will also result in the price decline as the expectation of rates cut are higher.
And if the Deal of USA and Iran sort out the bitcoin will go parabolic and the price of RWAs like Gold $XAU and Silver $XAG may fall heavier.
The market is highly volatile these days don't forget to manage risk. This is just my personal point of view of market not a financial advice. Don't forget to do your own research.
