TRX Bitcoin falls below $82,000 after hot US CPI revives Fed hike concerns
Several crypto newswires reported that Bitcoin dropped below $82,000 following a hotter-than-expected US CPI inflation report that revived expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. CoinDesk said bets on an October hike briefly spiked to nearly 50% before cooling, while Decrypt reported the odds climbed to 29% from 18% a week earlier. Cointelegraph attributed the CPI spike partly to high oil prices and noted bond yields hit new 24-year highs.
