Bitcoin Price Braces For Impact As Us Ppi Rises To 2.6%

The Bitcoin price records a drop of approximately 1.85% over the past 24 hours as the bearish sentiment once again looms over the crypto space as the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data rose to 2.6%. With this, the largest token is currently exchanging hands at $107,249.8 with a trading volume of $52.034 billion.

In addition, the altcoin market follows in the footsteps and records a similar price action. Notably, an increase in the U.S. PPI data indicates increasing inflation, suggesting a high possibility of a Fed rate pause.

However, as per the data from CME FedWatch tool, we may witness about three rate cuts of the five remaining meetings this year. This suggests a strong long-term bullish action in the crypto market as the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance historically pushes Bitcoin up with altcoins following the lead.

Let us now understand how the current market sentiments could impact the Bitcoin price for this week!
