Bitcoin Price Climbs as Inflation Slows Down
The price of Bitcoin surged due to a slowdown in US inflation and investors' expectation of interest rates stabilizing
Bitcoin climbed 15% yesterday as investors predicted an end to interest rate hikes. Today, the price of Bitcoin soared to $26,000 as inflation in the USA decreased to 6%. The core index, which excludes food and energy products, rose by 0.5% on a monthly basis, surpassing expectations for a 0.4% rise. On an annual basis, it climbed to 5.5%, in line with forecasts.

The Federal Bank will publish its interest rate decision next Wednesday, following the recent crisis in the banking sector. American regulators announced yesterday that they established "systemic risk factors" through the Fed, an intermediary banking institution that took over the deposits of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature, and all deposit holders will be able to withdraw their money through the banks that were taken over by the Fed.
When inflation and interest rates increase, it can lead to a decrease in the value of fiat currency, such as the US dollar. In this scenario, investors may look for alternative investment options to protect their wealth against inflation and preserve purchasing power. Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency that operates independently of any central authority, is often seen as a "store of value" asset, similar to gold, as it has a limited supply and is not subject to inflationary pressures that can devalue fiat currencies.
As interest rates rise, the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin may increase, as investors can earn a higher return on other investments, such as bonds or savings accounts. However, if inflation rates also increase, the real return on those investments may be lower, making Bitcoin a more attractive option for investors looking to preserve their purchasing power.
Market sentiment can also play a role in Bitcoin's price movements. If investors believe that interest rates and inflation rates will remain low, they may be more willing to invest in riskier assets like Bitcoin, leading to an increase in demand and a higher price.
