📊 CPI Expectations and Potential Market Reactions

Analysts forecast the April CPI to range between 2.4% and 2.5% year-over-year. A reading at or below this range could bolster investor confidence, potentially propelling Bitcoin to new all-time highs, as suggested by 10x Research founder Markus Thielen. Such a scenario would likely be interpreted as a sign of easing inflation, increasing the likelihood of Federal Reserve rate cuts and enhancing the appeal of risk assets like cryptocurrencies.  

Conversely, a CPI reading of 2.8% or higher may trigger bearish sentiments, as it could imply persistent inflation, reducing the probability of imminent rate cuts. Historical data indicates that such outcomes have previously led to significant downturns in the crypto market, with Bitcoin experiencing notable declines.
