#CryptoCPIWatch Crypto Markets: Poised for Reaction

Cryptocurrencies remain in a holding pattern ahead of the CPI release, with Bitcoin (BTC) trading around $82,185—down 25% from its peak—and Ethereum (ETH) at $1,889, a 16.2% weekly decline.

Current sentiment snapshot:

Bitcoin: +0.57%

Ethereum: -1.75%

XRP: +1.6%

Dogecoin: +2.5%

Solana & Cardano: Slight losses

The crypto market remains highly sensitive to interest rate expectations. A lower-than-expected CPI could reignite bullish momentum, while a higher print may prolong recent losses.

CoinShares’ latest report highlights growing investor caution, with $876 million in outflows from digital asset funds—marking the fourth consecutive week of declines.

Bottom Line: Expect Volatility

The upcoming CPI data is poised to be a pivotal moment for markets. While inflation is expected to cool modestly, lingering trade risks and Fed uncertainty mean volatility is likely across asset classes. Crypto markets, in particular, remain at the mercy of inflation surprises and shifting rate expectations.

Investors should stay alert and prepare for sharp moves in equities, crypto, and FX markets following Wednesday’s data release.#c
