š Economic Update: Inflation in the U.S. and Its Impact on the Markets
Today, May 13, 2025, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for April. The year-over-year inflation rate stood at 3.2%, slightly below the 3.3% recorded in March, while the core inflation (which excludes food and energy) was at 3.1%, also lower than the 3.2% from the previous month.
These results have been well received by financial markets, as they suggest a moderation in inflationary pressures. In response, the cryptocurrency market showed positive movements: ⢠Bitcoin (BTC): rose by 2.5%, reaching $105,000. ⢠Ethereum (ETH): increased by 2%, trading at $3,800. ⢠Solana (SOL) and Binance Coin (BNB): recorded increases of 3% and 2.8%, respectively.
This behavior reflects the sensitivity of digital assets to macroeconomic indicators and highlights the importance of monetary policy in market performance.

Current Market: The cryptocurrency market in May 2025 shows a mixed landscape. Bitcoin has reached an important milestone by surpassing $100,000, suggesting strong institutional interest, but volatility is expected with possible corrections in the summer. Ethereum, after a 45.3% drop in the first quarter, seems to be in recovery mode thanks to technical updates like Pectra, with optimistic projections of surpassing $6,000.

After the upgrade, the price of ETH has shown an upward trend. As of May 10, 2025, ETH is trading around $2,500 with a 4.2% increase in the last 24 hours. This increase also coincides with a surge in the altcoin market, where Ethereum has gained 13% and other cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) have also shown significant gains.
š® Future outlook
Although the Pectra upgrade has improved the network's efficiency and usability, some experts believe it will not be enough to drive an immediate increase in the price of ETH. However, it is expected to lay the groundwork for more significant future improvements.
#ShareYourThoughtOnBTC š Potential Bullish Momentum for Bitcoin if the US and China Reach a Trade Deal
The trade negotiations between the United States and China, currently underway in Geneva, could have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market. Historically, tariff tensions between these two powers have generated volatility in risk assets like Bitcoin. For example, in February 2025, the imposition of new tariffs by China led to a drop in Bitcoin below $100,000.
If both nations reach an agreement that reduces trade tensions, we will likely see an increase in investor confidence, which could translate into bullish momentum for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is currently trading around $BTC 103,000, and a more stable economic environment could favor its appreciation. ļæ¼ #AltcoinSeasonComing #TradeOfTheWeek #BTCBackto100K
