#CryptoCPIWatch The cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin, is experiencing a pullback as traders await the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. Here's what's happening ¹:

- *Bitcoin's Price Movement*: Bitcoin recently touched $105,700 before retreating by 3% due to potential profit-taking near the $106,000 resistance level. Currently, it's trading at $102,662.30, down 1.19%.

- *US CPI Data*: The CPI data is expected to be a critical catalyst for the market. A softer print could reignite bullish momentum, while a higher-than-expected number might strengthen the dollar and weigh on crypto prices.
