Market Moves by Lyllah Ledesma Bitcoin is down 5% in the last 24 hours after peaking at an all time high of around $68,950 on Wednesday.
Bitcoin’s all-time high was reached just after the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed higher-than-expected inflation in October. The U.S. Department of Labor said in the report that the CPI rose 6.2% in October versus 12 months prior, the fastest pace in three decades.
At 21:00 coordinated universal time on Wednesday, the price of bitcoin dropped to $62,000, just a few hours after trading at around $68,950, representing a 10% decline.
The shakeout appeared to coincide with a turn lower in U.S. stock markets, as analysts digested the CPI report, according to IntoTheBlock’s Juan Pellicer.
“The S&P 500 and Nasdaq reacted badly to the announcement,” said Pellicer. This then influenced the crypto market, he said.
In a report early Thursday, Lennard Neo of Stack Funds wrote that the delayed market reaction in stocks and bitcoin might have stemmed from an end-of-day assessment that faster inflation might trigger a quicker response from the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy.
As signaled by CoinDesk earlier this week, a more hawkish tilt at the U.S. central bank might put downward pressure on prices of riskier assets.

Technician's Take by Bradley Keoun Ethereum transactions spike Chart shows a recent pickup in transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, plotted against the price of ether. (Source: Glassnode/Stacks Funds) The recent move higher in the price of ether (ETH) appears supported by an increase in transactions over the Ethereum blockchain, writes Lennard Neo, head of research for the cryptocurrency products issuer Stack Funds, in a newsletter on Thursday.
According to Neo, the 30-day moving average transaction count has spiked up 10% in the past two weeks.
"The consolidation that occurred since July should add further depth to support the next leg up," Neo wrote.
