Bitcoin (BTC) and Gold (XAU) saw gains on Friday after US inflation data was released, showing that Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained steady at 3.4% in August.

The Federal Reserve's interest rate hike bets surged to an 87% chance next Wednesday, up from 72% the previous day, according to the FedWatch tool.

Bitcoin trades near $79,000, maintaining a bullish near-term bias as price holds well above the 50-day, 100-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).

Gold has climbed to $4,367, with immediate resistance at key psychological levels around $4,400.
