Bitcoin’s Grand Entrance Into Binance Before CPI Report

by

In an unexpected turn of events, Bitcoin has seemingly taken a fancy to Binance, flooding in with great enthusiasm over the last fortnight. The reason? Well, it could be something as simple as the usual investor paranoia surrounding the world’s delightful economy. Who would have thought?

As per the ever-diligent CryptoQuant, Binance’s Bitcoin reserves have bloomed like a well-watered garden, increasing by a staggering 22,106 BTC. This brings their total from 568,768 BTC on March 28, to 590,874 BTC by April 9. Oh, the drama of it all!

One might speculate, as CryptoQuant’s analyst did, that this sudden influx is connected to investor nerves ahead of the ever-anticipated US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, due to drop on April 10. The anticipation of such reports is always a source of delight and worry, especially when paired with the thrilling spectacle of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Because why not add a little more volatility to the mix? What’s life without a bit of chaos?

Some, of course, believe this influx to be the calm before the storm – an inevitable sell-off poised to swoop in as soon as the data is released. Others, however, wait with bated breath, hoping for clearer signals from the ever-elusive world of economic indicators. The situation remains, shall we say, a touch fluid.

In the meantime, the world of cryptocurrencies found some solace in Thursday’s events. This was thanks to Trump’s grand announcement that he would delay tariffs for 90 days (most countries, but not China). What a relief! Of course, he decided to up the ante by slapping tariffs on China to 125%, effective immediately. A true masterstroke of diplomacy.

Everyone’s Watching CPI Like It’s a New Season of Drama

Altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana performed admirably, increasing by 8%, 9%, and 7%, respectively, during this grand week of drama. Meanwhile, Bitcoin decided to join in on the fun, rising by almost 6% and briefly breaching the $83,000 mark. How utterly thrilling!

In the wise words of the renowned and pseudonymous crypto analyst Ash Crypto, despite Bitcoin’s recent surge, multiple hurdles could challenge its upward trajectory. The 50-day moving average stands at $85,826, and the 200-day moving average looms just above at $87,000. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s most recent lower high was recorded at $88,765. In short, the road ahead may not be as smooth as one would like. How utterly inconvenient.

On the flip side, Bitcoin has kindly established a support level at $81,000, just in case things go awry. One can only imagine the relief this brings to investors. As the crypto world wades through these resistant levels, all eyes remain fixed on the upcoming CPI data. A 2.6% increase is forecasted, which could send Bitcoin soaring past these resistance zones, or perhaps, like a well-behaved stock, it will settle into a nice, quiet consolidation phase. Only time will tell.
