Bitcoin is currently trading at $81,117, maintaining its position above the $80,000 threshold despite recent U.S. inflation data that typically leads to short-term downturns. This marks a shift in market behavior, as 10 of the last 11 Consumer Price Index (CPI) releases resulted in declines for Bitcoin, according to Akshat Siddhant, Lead Quant Analyst at Mudrex. On-chain activity has seen a significant uptick, with daily transactions rising by 116% in May, suggesting a growing interest in the cryptocurrency. The overall global crypto market capitalization is down 0.12% to $2.7 trillion. Analysts believe that if Bitcoin can maintain a close above $82,500, it would indicate strong buyer absorption of recent profit-taking. Institutional interest remains high, with Bitcoin ETFs recording inflows of $272 million. Experts recommend maintaining liquidity during this period to navigate potential market corrections.
