$BTC Why did BTC suddenly drop? The U.S. PPI surprised today with higher than expected figures (3.3% annual vs 2.5% predicted), which immediately shook the markets. Bitcoin, which was on an unstoppable rally, fell in minutes to $117,900 as an automatic reaction to the inflation data. This happens because traders anticipate that the Fed may keep rates high for longer, strengthening the dollar and weakening risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Now everyone is watching if $115K holds as a new key support, while the whales accumulate in silence.
