As the highly anticipated US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for June is set to be released today at 8:30 am EST, the Bitcoin (BTC) market finds itself at a crucial crossroads. With inflation concerns lingering and the Federal Reserve’s next moves under scrutiny, market participants eagerly await the impact of the CPI figures on BTC’s price trajectory. The expectations are as follows:<\/p>\n
\n
Headline y\/y at 3.1% (last 4.0%)<\/li>\n
Headline m\/m at 0.3% (last 0.1%)<\/li>\n
Core CPI y\/y of 5.0% (last 5.3%)<\/li>\n
Core CPI m\/m of 0.3% (last 0.4%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

In recent months, inflationary pressures have been a cause for concern, capturing the attention of investors and economists alike. While headline inflation is cooling off fast and expected to fall further to 3.1% (from 4.0% in May), it is the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, that has become increasingly important.<\/p>\n
In recent public appearances, members of the Federal Reserve (Fed) have maintained a hawkish stance and expressed concerns about a potential resurgence of inflation regarding the elevated core inflation. The underlying concern stems from the fact that inflation has primarily declined due to resolving supply chain problems, while core inflation remains elevated.<\/p>\n
