Inflation

This Wednesday, June 17, a macroeconomic turning point occurred, symbolized by the capitulation of gold which lost more than 40 dollars an ounce, and by the drop of bitcoin below the threshold of 65,500 dollars. This reaction follows the Fed's forecasts, whose restrictive tone surprised investors who hoped for easing.

Financial markets beat to the rhythm of an indicator whose slightest variation can upset investors' forecasts. While many observers were betting on a continued decline in US inflation in 2026, the latest data published in the United States leads to think the opposite. The return of a significant price increase calls into question several economic scenarios that still seemed credible a few weeks ago.

The American job market continues to defy predictions. While investors look for the slightest clue on the next trajectory of Federal Reserve rates, the May employment report reinforced the idea of an economy still solid. A reading shared by Beth Hammack, president of the Cleveland Fed, who judges the labor market to be overall balanced and estimates that the economy remains near full employment. Such statements could weigh on monetary expectations for the coming months.

The US Federal Reserve opens a new chapter at a time when markets doubt the trajectory of rates and the strength of the dollar. Kevin Warsh has officially taken the helm of the Fed after unanimous support from the FOMC, a nomination already scrutinized far beyond Wall Street. The former central bank governor has indeed distinguished himself with rare statements on bitcoin, which he considers an asset capable of becoming "a durable store of value, like gold."

American inflation accelerates again. In April, the price increase reached 3.8% year-on-year, its highest level in three years. The surge in energy costs, fueled by tensions around Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, is beginning to weigh on the American economy. This rise now complicates the outlook for Federal Reserve rate cuts and revives tensions in the financial markets.

Bitcoin reaches 73,000 dollars amid a mixed macroeconomic context. The latest US inflation data signal a moderate price increase but mask a historic surge in energy costs. This gap fuels an uncertain market reading, between apparent stability and underlying tensions.

Bitcoin falls back below 66,000 dollars, driven by a shock from energy markets. The rise in oil revives inflationary tensions and reshuffles the cards of monetary expectations. This movement recalls a now well-established reality: cryptos evolve in close correlation with macroeconomic dynamics. In this context, investors adjust their exposure to a more uncertain environment.

Bitcoin is going through a moment of truth. As American inflation slows significantly, the main argument supporting its legitimacy, that of a hedge against monetary erosion, falters. The latest consumer price figures reshuffle the cards and force investors to reconsider their exposure to BTC. Between macroeconomic improvement, persistent volatility, and strategic questions, bitcoin's value proposition enters a phase of redefinition.

Friday the 13th, lucky day? Bitcoin flirts with its record driven by inflation. The Fed does not move. Truflation already knew. Atmosphere.

The official figures of American inflation are directly opposed to those of alternative indicators. While the Fed is cautious about a possible monetary pivot, independent data suggest that real inflation would already be well below the 2% mark. This discrepancy raises doubts about the relevance of the tools used by the authorities and could disrupt market expectations, especially in the crypto ecosystem, where every macroeconomic signal is closely scrutinized.

If we start looking at the price of bitcoin from the perspective of "adjustment," aren't we simply recreating the same system? Aren't we, by thinking in terms of seasonal adjustments, becoming the new central bankers?

Markets hate unpredictability. Yet, within a few days, their certainties collapsed. The probability of a rate cut by the Fed in December, previously the majority view, is now below 50%. This abrupt change of direction has revived tensions across all asset classes. In the crypto ecosystem, already severely tested by a corrective phase, this resurgence of uncertainty acts as a catalyst for volatility.

A prolonged U.S. government shutdown has created a rare information void just as financial markets seek clarity. Investors are awaiting the Federal Reserve’s next rate decision with limited insight, while lawmakers continue advancing cryptocurrency legislation despite widespread staffing delays.

A drop in inflation figures, and here come the traders again. Bitcoin rejoices, ETPs swell. Who said the crypto market lived only on rumors?

The US Department of Labor will publish inflation data on Friday despite the government shutdown. An unusual decision five days before the Fed's crucial interest rate decision. Crypto investors are holding their breath.

The minutes of the Fed published on October 8 confirm an expected but delicate monetary shift. While the rate cut is now underway, the extent of the move by the end of the year still divides the committee. In a context of slowing employment, contained inflation, and government paralysis, this shift weighs heavily on market expectations. For crypto investors, sensitive to monetary policy signals, every Fed hesitation becomes a factor of volatility.

The PCE inflation figures for the month of August, published this Friday, September 27, confirm apparent stability, with progress as expected. A key indicator for the Federal Reserve, the PCE remains above the target, while American consumption continues to surprise with its strength. In a context of monetary tension, these data maintain uncertainty about the future trajectory of interest rates.

The Federal Reserve has made its decision, but without certainty. According to Jerome Powell, no interest rate adjustment will be without consequences. While several central banks have started a cycle of rate cuts, the Fed chairman warns of a strategic deadlock. In a context where inflation remains resilient and employment wavers, every decision becomes risky. A strong signal sent to the markets closely watching every word from the Fed as a decisive monetary turning point approaches.

Wednesday, bitcoin is at stake: between the Fed's boost, the 117,000 $ wall and hungry whales, guaranteed suspense for the crypto market star.

The latest US inflation figures reignite tensions in the financial markets, and the crypto sector is not immune to this nervousness. Stuck below the $3 mark, XRP struggles to define a clear trend. In a climate where every economic data fuels speculation about the Fed's monetary policy, Ripple's asset moves in a zone of uncertainty. Between hopes for a breakout and risks of correction, pressure is mounting around a threshold that has become strategic.
