Bitcoin price dips below $82K as high oil prices spike US CPI inflation
Bitcoin fell below $82,000 while bond yields targeted new 24-year highs on the back of hot US CPI inflation.
Bitcoin dropped below $82,000 as hotter-than-expected US CPI inflation data, driven by high oil prices, pushed bond yields to new 24-year highs. The combination of persistent inflation and rising yields pressures risk assets, including crypto, by keeping monetary conditions tight and reducing appetite for speculative holdings. Traders are watching whether BTC can hold the $82K level or if further macro headwinds trigger a deeper correction.
