Will Bitcoin, ETH, SOL, XRP, SHIB Prices Set to Rally in June as CPI & PCE Inflation Cools
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins are set to witness an upsurge with breakouts in the next few days as we enter June. The crypto market defended the selloff from $8.2 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expiry today.
Moreover, the US core PCE, the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge to measure inflation, came in at 0.2% from the previous month in April after a 0.3% increase in March, the slowest increase so far in 2024 and below market expectations of a 0.3% rise. The headline PCE and core PCE inflation data came in line with expectations
Crypto options expiry and PCE inflation data were the major headwinds preventing Bitcoin price rally to new all-time highs, as reported earlier by CoinGape. Meanwhile, CPI inflation has also cooled to 3.6%
Bitcoin Price Start Rallying after PCE Inflation Data
The US dollar index (DXY) declined to 104.20 after the PCE inflation data pointed to an economic setting that could favor less restrictive monetary policy by the Federal Reserve.
Meanwhile, the US 10-year Treasury yield also dropped 0.042 to a low of 4.504%, easing from the four-week high of 4.61% touched recently as markets continued to assess the latest data for hints on the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook.
BTC price moves in opposite to DXY and Treasury yields. Thus, a drop in these macro factors always brings a much-needed rebound in the overall crypto market. In addition, the latest data hints at a more dovish approach to rate cuts by the Fed, while Fed swaps still indicate a single rate cut in 2024.
