The latest US CPI (June 2025) came in at 2.7% YoY, slightly above expectations. July’s CPI — due Aug 12–13 — is projected at 2.8%, with Core CPI possibly hitting 3.1%.
💡 Why It Matters for Crypto: • Higher CPI ➡️ Fed may keep rates high ➡️ Stronger USD ➡️ Pressure on BTC & altcoins. • Lower CPI ➡️ Potential for rate cuts ➡️ Weaker USD ➡️ More liquidity & risk-on sentiment. • CPI surprises often cause short-term volatility — traders watch closely.
With Bitcoin still closely tied to macro trends, these inflation numbers could set the tone for the next big move. 📈📉
❓ Your turn: Will softer CPI ignite the next crypto rally, or will sticky inflation keep bulls on hold?
