#CryptoCPIWatch

#CryptoCPIWatch tracks the crypto market’s reaction to the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release, a key inflation indicator influencing monetary policy and asset prices. On May 13, 2025, at 8:30 AM ET, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release April’s CPI, expected to hold steady at 2.4% year-over-year, per market consensus. X posts suggest a lower-than-expected print (e.g., Truflation at 1.68%) could spark a crypto rally, boosting $BTC, $XRP, and altcoins by signaling potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. Conversely, a higher CPI (>2.4%) may trigger volatility, pressuring risk assets as investors shift to bonds. Historical data shows mixed BTC responses: a 2% rise to $82,000 post-March’s 2.8% CPI, but sell-offs during high inflation (e.g., 2023). Traders eye $BTC/USD ($101K), $ETH/USD ($3,300), and $XRP/USD ($2.44) pairs for breakout signals. Monitor Fed’s May 7 FOMC minutes for clues.
