BTC price pushes past $82,000 on PCE relief
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD bouncing more than 5% from its latest multimonth lows of $78,197 on Bitstamp.
Ongoing selling pressure only eased as the latest US macroeconomic data conformed to expectations on inflation.
The January print of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, known to be the Federal Reserve’s “preferred” inflation gauge, came in at 0.3% and 2.5% month-on-month and year-on-year, respectively.
Markets immediately sensed relief after several recent overshoots in inflation data. In a boost to both risk assets and crypto, US dollar strength began falling from local highs of 107.45, a level not seen in two weeks.
