<p>The price of BTC/USD surged on <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/education/best-crypto-exchange/#8-bitstamp-oldest-crypto-exchange">Bitstamp</a> just before Wall Street opened, following the release of <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/dictionary/consumer-price-index-cpi/">Consumer Price Index (CPI)</a> data for March.</p>
<p>Although the year-on-year increase fell 0.2% below expectations, it was still enough to inspire bullish sentiment among market participants.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">data</a> showed that the all-items index increased by 5.0% for the 12 months ending in March, the smallest increase since May 2021.</p>
<p>However, <a href="https://twitter.com/52kskew/status/1646126246248718338" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">market watchers</a> warned of the potential for volatility in the wake of the CPI release, with some predicting significant moves that could spark liquidations on exchanges.</p>
<p>Despite these concerns, <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a> bulls remained confident in the cryptocurrency&#8217;s long-term trend.</p>
<p>Popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital noted that BTC/USD was continuing to build on its impressive daily close from April 11, which had taken it above a major resistance trendline.</p>

<p>Alongside the rise in BTC, U.S. stock index futures also turned higher following the CPI data release, with the Nasdaq up 1.1% and the S&amp;P 500 up 0.9%. The price of gold also rose by 1.1% to $2,042 per ounce. In contrast, bond yields and the U.S. dollar declined, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield decreasing by 5 basis points to 3.38%, and the U.S. dollar index down 0.6%.</p>
<p>Market expectations on rate hikes moved only modestly despite the improvement in CPI data, with a 65% chance of a hike taking place at the next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in three weeks’ time, down from 75% before the release.</p>
<p>Some analysts believe that the Federal Reserve may end its streak of interest rate hikes soon, possibly as early as its May 2-3 meeting.</p>
