On Tuesday, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) disclosed the annual inflation rate in the US, as indicated by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), climbed to 3.2% in February, up from 3.1% in January.&nbsp;

Amid the release, Bitcoin witnessed a short surge in volatility as price hit a high of $72628 only to retrace back to $71683.
