#CryptoCPIWatch # CPI REPORT IMPACT
The slightly lower-than-expected U.S. headline CPI (2.3% vs. 2.4%) is **moderately bullish** for crypto, as it hints at easing inflation and potential Fed rate cuts later in 2025, which could boost risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. However, the unchanged core CPI (2.8%) suggests lingering inflation pressures, possibly delaying aggressive Fed easing and capping short-term gains. Crypto markets may see a relief rally (e.g., Bitcoin retesting $105K), but volatility will persist until the Fed clarifies its policy path, with altcoins diverging based on unique catalysts like regulatory developments.
