Inflation report matched expectations, bitcoin price barely moved
No clear lean
Data matched forecasts, price stayed flat, no surprise
What happened
The U.S. government released its monthly inflation number (CPI, which tracks how fast prices for everyday goods are rising) and it came in at 3.4%, right in line with what economists predicted. Bitcoin's price stayed roughly flat around $64,000, showing no big reaction.
Why it matters
Inflation data influences whether the Federal Reserve raises or lowers interest rates, which affects how much money flows into riskier assets like crypto. Since this number matched expectations, there's no new surprise for markets to digest.
Should I do anything?
Nothing to act on here. This is a routine economic update, not an event that requires any response from crypto holders.
