US PPI and CPI Data Release Fuels Crypto Market Rally

U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) came in favor of the potential rate cuts in the upcoming FOMC Meeting. CoinGape experts note that the PPI has dropped sharply below expectations at 2.6% YoY vs 3.3%, with core PPI also cooling.

Not only does this fuel the hopes, but it also increases the possibility of the 50 bps rate cuts as inflation is easing. Additionally, the weakening labor market and the U.S. Labor Dept revised job growth to lower by ~900,000 jobs, signaling a slower economy.

The release immediately fueled the crypto market uptrend, as the Bitcoin price rose to $114k. Notably, this is just the beginning, as now the eyes are on today’s CPI data release.

REMINDER 🚨

🇺🇸 US CPI DATA WILL BE RELEASED TODAY AT 8:30AM ET.

EXPECTATIONS: 2.9%

● IF CPI < 2.9%, BITCOIN AND ALTS WILL EXPLODE

● IF CPI = 2.9%, THE MARKET COULD EXPERIENCE A CORRECTION AS LAST MONTH’S CPI WAS 2.7%

● IF CPI > 2.9%, THIS WILL BE REALLY BAD FOR MARKETS.… pic.twitter.com/TcRrfN5sqO

Institutional & Market Sentiment Support

As the hopes of rate cuts increase, the market sentiments are supporting the uptrend. CoinMarketCap’s Average Crypto RSI data shows that the market is in overbought conditions, as investors jumped into buying ahead of an anticipated rally.

Besides, the institutional demand is also building. Spot Ethereum ETFs net flow has turned positive in the last two days after a week of outflows. On September 9, the $44.16M inflows were noted, and $171.54M on the next day.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs had similar results, with $23.05M and $757.14M in the last two days. There’s also significant buzz around the Dogecoin ETF launch this week, fueling its price surge.

Although the crypto market is up, the market cap is still below the $4T mark. Besides, the investor sentiments aren’t bullish, so analysts suspect that the momentum may fade quickly. The further trajectory will now depend on the crypto events of this week and the Fed’s decision on interest rates.

As a result, investors may use caution in their trading decisions and actively research trends, news, and more.
