BTC, XRP, ETH, SOL News: Here's How Friday's Inflation Report Could Move Prices

CoinDesk
Friday's core PCE inflation report may influence cryptocurrency prices, with softer data potentially boosting Bitcoin and other assets.

Summary

The upcoming core PCE inflation report, the Fed's preferred gauge, is expected to show a 2.9% year-on-year rise in September, keeping inflation above the Fed's 2% target and potentially strengthening the case for slower rate cuts. Despite this, implied volatility indices for Bitcoin (BVIV around 36%), Ether, Solana, and XRP suggest low expectations for major turbulence, possibly due to the anticipated 25 basis point Fed rate cut on December 10th being priced in. A softer-than-expected PCE report could cause the 10-year Treasury yield to drop below 4%, potentially helping Bitcoin break its current trading range of $92,000-$94,000 and reinforcing the easing narrative supporting crypto's rebound. Conversely, an upside surprise might keep markets range-bound until the Fed clarifies its future path, though analysts warn any yield decline might be short-lived.
