• The global crypto market rebounded 2.5% following the stronger-than-expected CPI data.
  • Bitcoin climbed to the $63K zone, catalyzing rallies in various altcoins. Currently, it is trading at around $62,848.

After a week marked by mixed sentiments, the cryptocurrency market has bounced back positively, particularly following the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for September. The CPI rose by 0.2%, while the core CPI increased by 0.3%, both exceeding expectations. This data has led analysts to believe that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in November, and they may even decide against trimming rates altogether.

As a result, the global crypto market cap surged over 2.5%, reaching $2.2 trillion. Bitcoin (BTC) took the lead, climbing to the $63K zone , and propelled rallies among various altcoins. This momentum sets a hopeful tone for October, often referred to as “Uptober,” known for its potential price increases.
