CoinDesk reported:
The surge in interest rates played at least a part in bitcoin’s tumble from more than $69,000 in late 2021 to just above $16,000 at the end of 2022. Continuing rate worries this year are likely a factor in capping bitcoin’s bounce. To the extent that the latest CPI report confirms expectations that the Fed may back off of rate hikes, it could be bullish at the margin for bitcoin.
