#CryptoCPIWatch

As of May 13, 2025, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing heightened volatility in anticipation of the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Bitcoin ($BTC ) has dipped below $102,400, reflecting investor caution and profit-taking ahead of the inflation data release.

Major altcoins have also seen declines, with some dropping up to 7%.

The CPI report is expected to show a 0.3% monthly increase and an annual rate holding steady at 2.4%. These figures are crucial as they could influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions. Higher-than-expected inflation may dampen hopes for interest rate cuts in 2025.
