Amid varying economic signals, the cryptocurrency market exhibited strength, with Bitcoin regaining the crucial $26,000 support level and Ether surpassing the $1,600 threshold. This upward movement follows the release of the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) data for August, which indicated a year-on-year increase, although core CPI showed a deceleration.
Key Market Movements:
- Bitcoin increased by 1.45% in the last 24 hours, reaching $26,251.64, according to CoinMarketCap data.
- Ether recorded a 0.95% rise, trading at $1,609.32.
- Solana led the top 10 non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies with a 24-hour gain exceeding 2%.
John Stefanidis, CEO and co-founder of blockchain infrastructure DAO, Balthazar DAO, noted that the crypto market‘s resilience is partially due to the stable CPI data. He mentioned that the market seems to have accounted for the approved liquidation of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX’s $3.4 billion crypto asset portfolio, which will be sold at a maximum of $100 million per week.
