U.S Inflation and Price Action

Alongside the Fed’s February rate hike, Powell indicated inflation in the U.S had begun to slow which saw bitcoin shortly spike above 24K before declining below 22K following U.S Consumer Price Index readout for January coming in roughly as expected on Feb 14th.

Conclusion

Overall Mike Novogratz believes that Bitcoin could return back up to 30K or more due to recent news regarding US inflation and Powell’s rate hikes despite his predictions being lower than many others made previously
