Traders watch whether large holders will hold or trim positions added during the recent dip. Bitcoin dropped toward $80,000 after a hotter-than-expected consumer price index reading, BeInCrypto reported. The inflation data has reignited concerns about the pace of future interest rate cuts. Higher-than-anticipated CPI figures tend to push investors toward safer assets and away from risk-sensitive markets like cryptocurrency. Bitcoin's move lower reflects a broader pattern seen across risk assets when inflation surprises to the upside. Equity markets and commodities often react similarly, as traders reassess expectations for monetary policy.
