The crypto market was in the red yesterday as most of the currencies saw a downtrend and thereafter, today one can witness it rebounding from the recent losses. The crypto behemoths, like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have been trending on the leading price tracking website, CoinMarketCap. The most prominent reason for this gain is that there is positive inflation news that suggests that the power head’s inflationary pressures have been slowed. This is a breather for investors who were earlier worried due to the persistent crypto crash sessions.
The recent data of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has relieved many macroeconomic concerns and also indicated that the crypto market might witness a summer rally soon. This has spurted optimism in the crypto enthusiasts and industry participants. Along the same lines, the Director of Financial Analytics at StoneX, Youwei Yang, said that:
“The saying is that optimism in a bear market is more precious than diamonds, so we are seeing hope here.”
