Bitcoin Trades Flat Amid Rising US Inflation
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is trading flat at $77,299 after the US reported a 0.4% increase in August 2026 inflation.
This rise in inflation has heightened scrutiny on the Federal Reserve's policy outlook and monetary conditions, which can negatively impact demand for riskier assets like Bitcoin.
BTC/USD is currently trading below its short- and medium-term moving averages but above its long-term average.
Traders are advised to remain cautious as the probability of a downside move is elevated, with a projected price range of $74,483 to $79,261.
