Bitcoin Jumps to $64.9K as June CPI Posts Biggest Drop Since 2020; Fed Chair Warsh Signals No Rate Cut

BTC-1.17%
ETH-2.83%
According to market data released Wednesday, Bitcoin jumped from around $62,000 to $64,900 following a softer-than-expected June CPI reading. The monthly CPI fell 0.4%, the largest drop since April 2020, bringing the annual inflation rate to 3.5% against a 3.8% consensus forecast. Ethereum surged 7% to $1,884, with roughly $300 million in short positions liquidated. However, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh testified before Congress that the Fed has "no tolerance for persistently elevated inflation" and declined to characterize the CPI print as a victory. On Polymarket, odds of a July rate cut collapsed from 35% to just 6% following Warsh's remarks; year-end rate hike odds remain at approximately 80%.
