Bitcoin edged higher to around $73,000 following Friday’s Wall Street open as US inflation data came in slightly below market expectations, supporting a modest risk-on tone in crypto markets.
Markets digested the March Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, the first CPI report to reflect the impact of the US and Israel war in Iran, according to the article.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that gasoline prices jumped more than 21% month-on-month, while the overall CPI outcome finished 0.1% lower than market expectations.
In the BLS release, the all items index increased 3.3% over the prior 12 months after seasonal adjustment. The energy index rose 10.9% in March, led by a 21.2% increase in the gasoline index, which accounted for nearly three quarters of the monthly all items increase.

Within crypto markets, the article pointed to modest short-term optimism. Trader JDK Analysis said BTC/USD was trading within a narrowing wedge and warned that the reaction at the current key high would be critical if price attempts another move there.
Earlier, the article also referenced a Cointelegraph report describing a copycat signal from Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) that began to echo the end of the 2022 bear market.
