Did you know? The Federal Reserve's hint at an interest rate cut follows a historical pattern where similar CPI rises led to market-friendly monetary easing. Such moves often spur short-term investor optimism despite underlying economic constraints.
Bitcoin's current valuation stands at $110,509.94, with a market cap of $2.20 trillion. Its 24-hour volume reached $51.88 billion, reflecting a 13.30% decline. Recent movements show a 0.35% increase over 24-hours and a 4.01% rise over 7-days.
