Bitcoin Price (BTC) Continues Higher Following Inline Inflation Data

Prior to this morning’s data, the subject of whether the U.S. Federal Reserve would cut its benchmark fed funds rate range at the bank’s next meeting was closed: There was zero percent chance that the range will remain at its current 5.25%-5.50%, according to CME FedWatch, which figures odds based on positions taken in short-term interest rate markets. In fact, the gauge showed a 52.5% chance of a 50 basis point rate cut versus 47.5% for a 25 basis point move.
