Fed rate-hike fears vanish as inflation cools — momentum play on Bitcoin

Traders were pricing in higher interest rates, but a sudden drop in inflation just killed that expectation. Bitcoin is breaking out to three-week highs as investors pivot back into riskier assets.

Idea

Heading into the latest inflation report, bond traders were aggressively betting the Federal Reserve would hike interest rates again. However, the June CPI report actually showed prices falling for the first time since 2020, completely crushing the odds of a rate hike and sending Treasury yields tumbling. Because Bitcoin offers no yield, falling interest rates make it much more attractive to hold compared to bonds. This rapid shift in the interest rate outlook is the main catalyst pushing Bitcoin to its highest levels in nearly a month.
