Bitcoin’s price has surged above $64,000, marking a significant rise as U.S. inflation data showed a cooling trend, leading to reduced expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. The annual inflation rate in June decreased to 3.5%, down from 4.2%, which appears to have shifted market sentiment towards a less aggressive monetary policy stance. This development has been linked to the recent rebound in Bitcoin, which had previously dipped to near $58,000 in June but has gained upward momentum with a 10% rally earlier in July. The market pricing suggests a reduced likelihood of rate hikes under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, further supporting Bitcoin’s rise.
