Bitcoin price holds steady following surprising US PPI uptick, eyes on upcoming CPI data Quick Take

With an imminent Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on the horizon, the digital currency market teeters on the brink, highlighting the intricate correlation between major economic indicators and the volatile cryptocurrency markets.
As the industry awaits the release of the CPI data, the impact on Bitcoin’s market position will be a telling indicator of the cryptocurrency’s resilience in the face of economic fluctuations.
