Bitcoin falls below $82,000 as hotter core CPI revives Fed hike concerns
Bitcoin dropped below $82,000 after a hotter-than-expected core CPI reading renewed expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates, The Block reported on Oct. 14. The decline followed the release of the inflation data, which pointed to firmer underlying price pressures. Rate expectations are a primary channel through which macro data hits risk-asset pricing, and the move shows bitcoin trading in line with that sensitivity. Bloomberg data cited by Livemint showed that in 8 of the last 10 Fed hikes, bitcoin was lower a month later. Core CPI tracks consumer price changes while excluding food and energy, which tend to be more volatile. The report was published on Oct. 14.
