<h2 id="bitcoin-s-rally-and-market-impact">Bitcoin’s Rally and Market Impact</h2>
<p>The rise in Bitcoin’s value resulted in a total of $48 million in liquidated positions. The broader cryptocurrency market was not immune to this impact, with over $198 million in liquidations reported within the same 24-hour period.</p>
<p>This surge followed the release of U.S. inflation data. The data indicated that the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by a lower-than-expected 3.3% year-over-year in May. This was against the 3.4% increase economists had predicted.</p>

<p>The U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate-setting meeting is expected to maintain the current interest rate of 5.25% to 5.50%. However, a poll of economists suggests that the Federal Reserve is likely to reduce rates twice this year, starting in September.</p>
<p>Aurelie Barthere, a Principle Research Analyst at Nansen, suggests that after the CPI print, the Federal Reserve will likely revise growth downwards and remove some rate cuts to align with markets. Barthere believes that Powell will maintain a dovish stance, considering the data.</p>
