US Inflation : Crypto Market Rebounds Upward

The crypto market as a whole has experienced explosive growth in recent hours, with a $109 billion increase in just 24 hours. This surge follows the release of a better-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the United States, providing a fresh boost for investors.

Indeed, the US CPI increased by 2.7% year-over-year, a smaller rise than the 2.8% analysts expected. This positive surprise has strengthened confidence among market participants, triggering a wave of buying and a marked improvement in overall sentiment. The total crypto market capitalization now stands at over $4.01 trillion, a key level to breach in order to confirm the bullish trend.

Bitcoin Seeking a Breakthrough

Despite favorable conditions, Bitcoin (BTC) remains stuck around the $120,000 resistance. Although the price has advanced, it has not yet crossed this psychological threshold. Its next target is $122,000, supported by its correlation with US stock markets.

If overall sentiment remains robust and investors continue to flow in, BTC could break through this barrier. However, profit-taking remains a risk, and a drop below the support at $117,261 could weaken the bullish trend in the short term.

FARTCOIN Shines in the Crypto Market

While Bitcoin struggles, FARTCOIN has emerged as the best-performing altcoin, with a 23% increase over the day. Currently at $1.08, it is testing the key resistance at $1.09.

If it transforms this level into support, the path will be clear to reach $1.15, despite a potential obstacle represented by the 50-day exponential moving average.

Overall, the crypto market is showing great resilience, capitalizing on US inflation figures to bounce back. This positive momentum suggests promising opportunities for savvy investors.
