Bitcoin Starts July On A Bearish Note, Will CPI Data Change The Narrative This Week?

The beginning of July has not been bullish for the Bitcoin and
crypto market as earlier expected due to a number of events that
have shaken the market. For example, the Spot Ethereum ETFs did not
debut on July 2nd as expected, and the US and German governments
have been reportedly selling large tranches of BTC. However, a turn
in the tide could be coming for Bitcoin and crypto at large as the
CPI data is expected to drop on July 11. CPI Data Could Move The
Narrative For Crypto Crypto analyst CrypNuevo took to X (formerly
Twitter) to share their thoughts on where they expect the Bitcoin
price to be headed next. Pointing to the upcoming CPI data,
CrypNuevo explains that a rate cut could be imminent in the CPI
data that is expected to be released on Thursday, July 11. Related

expected to come in lower, this could point to an immediate rate
cut or at least a further rate cut by the Fed going forward.
Naturally, such rate cuts would be good for the Bitcoin price as
they have been in the past. “A rate cut or an imminent rate cut
announcement would be greatly received in the crypto market and I
believe that we would see prices going up aggressively in that
case,” the analyst said. “I don’t discard that if we get a good CPI
on Thursday, we see that reversal for that day, because the market
tends to price-in what’s to come from the FED,” CrypNuevo explains
further further. Will The Bitcoin Bearish Trend Continue? For the
analysis, the crypto analyst used the BTC 1-Day chart which showed
a rather peculiar wick that the analysis expects to be filled. This
wick is the $53,400 wick that occurred in early July before the
market recovery, but the analyst does not believe that it is over
for the price. Firstly, the analyst expects at least 50% of the
wick to be filled, something that already happened over the weekend
when the price fell to $54,000. Related Reading: Finance CEO Raoul

On to the topic of the wick being 100% filled, it could be bullish
for the price as the crypto analyst expects that falling to this
level could see the price bounce from here. However, there is also
the possibility that the price fills this wick and then falls
further down. In such a case, the crypto analyst believes that
$51,700 would hold for the Bitcoin price. This means that this
would be the next support level for bulls to hold. A recovery from
here would likely see the price barrel toward $60,000, but the
analyst maintains that $60,000 is now resistance for Bitcoin.
