Hot US inflation print sends bitcoin sharply lower

Original: U.S. September CPI comes in hot, sending bitcoin sharply lower

The US September Consumer Price Index came in hotter than expected, triggering an immediate risk-off reaction in financial markets. Bitcoin fell sharply on the news, with traders pricing in a more aggressive Federal Reserve stance on interest rates. Higher-than-expected inflation reduces the odds of near-term rate cuts, weighing on risk assets including cryptocurrencies.

Why now: Higher-than-expected US inflation data has raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep rates elevated, hitting risk assets like bitcoin.
