What is the CPI, and how does it affect cryptocurrencies?

The CPI (Consumer Price Index) is the thermometer that measures inflation: it tells us whether life is getting more expensive.

When this number changes, the cryptocurrency market reacts like a domino effect:

⏫HIGH CPI (High inflation): Governments raise interest rates to cool the economy. Traditional money becomes scarcer, and investors flee risk. Cryptocurrencies tend to FALL.

⏬ LOW CPI (Stable prices): The economy eases, banks lower interest rates, and investors seek gains in riskier assets. Cryptocurrencies tend to RISE.#CPIWatch $BTC
