Amid persistent U.S. inflation pressures and delayed expectations for interest rate cuts, Bitcoin fell to a multi-week low of $58,000, according to reports from Seeking Alpha. The decline reflects trader concerns that monetary policy will remain tight for longer, weighing on high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
The move followed data showing U.S. inflation came in hotter than expected, with the Consumer Price Index rising 3.4% in May, above the 3.2% forecast (per available economic data). These figures reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep rates elevated, reducing the appeal of speculative assets. Other major cryptocurrencies also declined, with Ethereum dropping 4% to around $3,100 (per market data).
