🧩 IPC 2.7%: Is this the spark that crypto bulls needed?
The inflation data from the U.S. published today was slightly lower than expected: 2.7% year-on-year vs. 2.8% anticipated. Although the difference seems minimal, the emotional impact on the markets is profound. The reading suggests that inflationary pressure is moderating, which could pave the way for a more flexible stance from the Federal Reserve.
For the crypto trader, this represents a change in narrative: the fear of high rates is dissipating, and risk assets — such as Bitcoin and altcoins — could regain momentum. A rebound in ETH/BTC is already being observed.
From the perspective of neurofinance, this type of positive surprise activates impulsive re-entry biases and rationalized FOMO, especially after weeks of sideways movement. Are we witnessing the start of a new rally or just an emotional reaction?
