Analysis: Cooling inflation and rising stock markets cause Bitcoin prices to stagnate
Golden Finance reported that although stock indexes have risen as inflation eased as expected, Bitcoin has remained in the doldrums. Stocks rose slightly after the release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index data, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rising 0.23%, 0.39% and 0.55% respectively. In sharp contrast, the price of Bitcoin fell below $61,000. Market participants have been closely watching inflation data to predict when the Federal Reserve will begin to cut interest rates, which is generally considered to be beneficial for long-term portfolios with greater risk tolerance.

Analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce wrote that this reflects "alternative (and potentially more value-added) use cases for mining facilities and the scarcity and value of power access," adding that the Core Scientific deal "validates and will accelerate the diversification of miners" into high-performance computing (HPC) projects. ”
