Historically, CPI data releases and FOMC rate changes have had a volatile impact on the crypto market as investors rush to decouple risk. Currently, the 30-day correlation of the crypto market with U.S. equities has been the highest since 2022.


When the CPI rises, Bitcoin typically experiences a decline in price. The digital asset market as a whole is no exception. When people face price rises on necessities, they have less discretionary cash available, thus less money to invest.


According to reports, FOMC is expected to keep the rate unchanged maintaining the benchmark lending rate of 5.25-5.50%, while CPI datais expected to remain in the 0.1%-0.3% range.
