Bitcoin’s Wild Ride: Inflation’s Got It by the Wallet! 🚀💸

by

Ah, Bitcoin (BTC), the digital darling of the financial world, is currently doing the financial equivalent of the “one step forward, two steps back” dance. 🕺💔 After a glorious 3.8% gain over the past seven days, it’s now tripping over the laces of U.S. inflation. Ted Pillows, the market analyst with a name that sounds like he should be selling cushions, has pointed out that Bitcoin’s recent surge past $114,000 has lost its pep. 🥱

Bitcoin’s Trading: A Leaky Boat in Choppy Waters 🛳️💦

Turns out, the pullback is thanks to the broader economic shenanigans that are making the financial market go “uh-oh.” 🌪️ The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI), that trusty old inflation meter, has ticked up from 2.7% to 2.9%. Yes, inflation is still the uninvited guest at the party, and everyone’s investment plans are feeling the cringe. 😬

Investors are now biting their nails, worrying the Federal Reserve might keep interest rates higher than a stoner’s dreams. 🌿 If that happens, risk assets like Bitcoin will be about as appealing as a soggy sandwich. 🥪 The price reversal? Just Bitcoin’s way of saying, “I’m not okay with this.” 😢

$BTC pumped above $114,000 but is now going down again.

CPI came in at 2.9% while last month’s CPI was 2.7%

This shows that inflation is still hot, and the markets are reacting to it.

Meanwhile, Pillows notes that Nasdaq futures are up 0.35%, and S&P futures are at 0.27%. Wall Street, it seems, hasn’t quite hit the panic button yet, though it’s probably hovering over it with a twitchy finger. 🤏

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading hands at $114,439.98, a modest 0.5% increase in the last 24 hours. It had briefly touched $114,686.09 before volatility said, “Not today, Satoshi.” 📉 Trading volume? Down 12.35% to $47.94 billion. Someone forgot to feed the trading bots, it seems. 🤖

Could U.S. Tariffs Be Bitcoin’s Knight in Shining Armor? 🏰🛡️

Fear not, crypto enthusiasts! Fred Krueger (no relation to the dream-haunting Freddy) reckons the U.S. could start buying BTC with tariff money. 🤑 The U.S. could rake in $50 billion monthly, and if they decide to go on a Bitcoin shopping spree, they could snap up 400,000 BTC. That’s enough to make even the most stoic HODLer giggle with glee. 😂

If this happens, Bitcoin could enter a bullish rally so fierce, it’ll make the last one look like a Sunday stroll. Demand will outstrip supply faster than you can say “to the moon!” 🚀
