Bitcoin Price Set For New Yearly Low With Worse Than Expected CPI Data?

The Bitcoin price fell sharply following the release of the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) data on Thursday. With this, speculation is rife that the top cryptocurrency could drop further to a new yearly low figure. On the other side, a section of traders are looking to find the local Bitcoin bottom for at least in the short term. The CPI for September was reported to be worse than expected.

Consumer prices increased by 0.4% on monthly basis whereas the CPI rose by 8.2% on yearly basis. This is more than the expected inflation rise by 8.1%. The worse than expected inflation numbers resulted in sharp drop in BTC price. As of writing, Bitcoin price stands at $18,452, down 3.47% in the last 24 hours, according to price tracking platform CoinMarketCap. Even Ethereum (ETH) saw a sharp decline in its price following the inflation data release. As of writing, ETH price stands at $1,225.15, down 5.51% in the last 24 hours.

On the other side, a crypto trader named Ciervo and Crypto Rover, an influencer, feel it is time to wait. Ciervo tweeted,

“We are seeing an immediate sell-off, with the Bitcoin price reaching a low of $18.2k. We will have to wait and see what happens in the next few days.”
