U.S. inflation comes in higher than expected. Bitcoin, meanwhile, falls below $73,000.
October CPI figures have heightened market concerns.
Here are the key figures:
→ Monthly CPI: +0.4%, versus +0.3% expected.
→ CPI excluding food and energy: +0.3%, versus +0.2% expected.
→ Bitcoin: around $72,700.
→ 200-day moving average: $73,137.
Another important point: the BLS did not publish an annual CPI change, due to a lack of comparable data for October 2025.
My analysis:
Two inflation indicators coming in above expectations could make the Fed’s job more difficult.
For Bitcoin, the problem is twofold: macroeconomic pressure and the loss of an important technical level—the 200-day moving average.
Here’s what to watch next:
→ BTC’s reaction around $73,000.
→ The next interest rate expectations.
→ The Fed meeting on December 8 and 9.
Keep in mind: a rate hike in December is not a given. It will all depend on the upcoming economic data and the Fed’s messaging.
Do you think Bitcoin can quickly reclaim $73,000, or does this breakdown signal a deeper correction?#HotCPIDecemberHikePriced
