The cryptocurrency market might finally get a shake-up after the upcoming release of the CPI and PPI data this week. Chairman Powell will also deliver his semi-annual monetary policy testimony to the HFSC. With the 25bps rate cut looming on the horizon, things may change rapidly.
Inflation levels are evaluated using economic indicators such as the PPI and CPI, which have a direct impact on monetary policy decisions.

It might indicate the Federal Reserve's intention to boost economic growth if it is put into practice, which could have a favorable impact on risk assets like cryptocurrencies.

The cryptocurrency market is going through a turbulent time right now. With resistance at the 200 EMA level, Bitcoin has found it difficult to hold its position above $58,000. Ethereum is struggling to maintain its upward momentum and is currently trading below the $3,000 mark. Broader market forces, such as massive liquidations and selling pressure from different entities such as government agencies and ETF holders, are aggravating these technical difficulties.
