Cryptocurrency is in the uptrend. The price climbed higher the day before with BTC trading near $22,250. Experts say the price increase resulted in a better-than-expected CPI report.
On the one hand, the latest Consumer Price Index report did not have a direct impact on the crypto market and Bitcoin in particular, it made traditional markets struggle which gave the crypto assets a new boost.
The CPI revelation has shown up with 6.4%, which is 0.2% above expectations. Investors could see stocks plunging into a negative zone. Both Dow Jones and S&P finished in the red territory with prices down 0.03% and 0.46% respectively. Meanwhile, NASDAQ found its way to go up by 0.57%.

BTC futures prices also rose following the positive move of the cryptocurrency. Daily bar charts show a fledgling price downtrend taking place at the moment. On the other hand, bulls lost their technical advantage making it clear that the current movement of price least resistance may lower.
Many market participants consider a positive BTC performance as a sign of an ending crypto winter. However, experts warn investors that the market can undergo a bearish bounce while the BTC price keeps rolling over.
We should still take into account the FED and the actions it is going to take in reference to inflation rates. It is still one of the most powerful factors that shape current markets. So, when making investment decisions across different assets, it is crucial to consider the Federal Reserve’s actions.
For some time, the altcoin market was in the green territory. This fact lets traders open positions in their preferred low-cap coins.
However, only 6 out of 200 top tokens were traded higher. SingularityNET (AGIX) showed one of the most significant performances featuring a 28.78% increase.
