In recent CPI updates, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for this month stands at 3.1%, slightly lower compared to last month’s 3.2%. The Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, remains steady at 4.0% for both this month and the previous month.
At first glance, it may seem like inflation is not changing significantly. However, a closer look at the details reveals a more positive situation. Let’s break it down:
Considering these factors, it becomes clear that the overall inflation rate is in a relatively good state. The stability in food prices and the decrease in energy prices counterbalance the impact of other commodities, particularly used car prices.
Moving on to the Federal Reserve (Fed), they have decided to maintain interest rates. Their projections indicate three rate cuts in 2024, aiming to stimulate economic growth.
The “dot plot” chart of individual expectations from Fed members suggests an additional four rate cuts in 2025, resulting in a 1% decrease. Furthermore, three more cuts in 2026 are anticipated, which would bring the interest rate to a range of 2%-2.25%.
In terms of upcoming financial events, the focus this week is on the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation rate in the US.
The Core PCE, which closely follows the Core PCI, is expected to be 3.2% this month, slightly lower than last month’s 3.5%.
These two indices usually move in the same direction, but it’s worth noting that Core PCI remained unchanged compared to the previous month, maintaining a steady rate of 4.0%.
According to data from glassnode, the duration from when the market price exceeds the realized price until it surpasses the previous cycle peaks is as follows:
Based on this information, if the current cycle lasts for 14 months, similar to the 2015-2017 cycle, Bitcoin’s price will surpass $69K in March 2024. If it follows the pattern of the 2019-2021 cycle, Bitcoin’s price will surpass $69K in August 2024. Taking an average of the previous two cycles at 17 months, Bitcoin’s price is projected to surpass $69K in June 2024.
In recent times, there has been a significant trend in the market known as engraving, or the “20 list trend.” This trend involves the listing of various tokens on popular platforms like Binance, with a market cap reaching billions.
Tokens such as $ORDI and $SATS, part of the Brc20 ecosystem, have gained considerable attention, reflecting the changing positions of many investors. In addition, other ecosystems like Doge with drc20, TRX, AVAX, ARB, SUI, and APT have followed suit, indicating widespread participation in this 20-market wave.
Besides that, these transactions resemble NFTs and operate similarly to OTC trades, where sell orders require a matching buyer. Consequently, participants anticipate and react to these trends to take advantage of the market momentum.
Notably, ETH has also joined this trend with Ethrunes, a project initiated by the ETH shark whale, which has witnessed an impressive launch volume of over 1000E. However, it is expected that this trend will come and go quickly.
Among the various systems participating in this trend, some of the notable ones include:
