  • Bitcoin traded near US$79,573 after falling below US$80,000 following the April PPI release.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • US producer prices rose 1.4% in April and 6.0% from a year earlier, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Despite the sell-off, traders believe if BTC can hold near the $80K level then we might see further resilience.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Bitcoin (BTC) slipped below US$80,000 (AU$110K) after stronger-than-expected U.S. producer inflation data renewed pressure on risk assets and weakened the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year.<\/p>\n

    The move left BTC trading near US$79,573 (AU$109,811) during the research window, with an intraday low of US$78,762 (AU$108K) and high of US$81,276 (AU$112K).\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The decline was not a deep breakdown, but it put the market back around a level traders have treated as a major near-term line.<\/p>\n

    The inflation trigger came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics report, showing that the Producer Price Index for final demand rose 1.4% in April.<\/p>\n

    Final demand prices were up 6.0% over the 12 months ended April, while final demand energy prices jumped 7.8% for the month and 22.7% from a year earlier.<\/p>\n

    Excluding food and energy, producer prices rose 1.0% in April and 5.2% year over year, adding to concerns that inflation is not cooling quickly enough for the Fed to ease policy.<\/p>\n

    Inflation Pressure Returns<\/h2>\n

    Bitcoin didn\u2019t react so well, as lower rate-cut odds generally make cash and short-term debt more attractive relative to speculative assets, while higher inflation readings can lift Treasury yields and pressure crypto valuations.<\/p>\n

    CME Group\u2019s FedWatch tool, which tracks implied rate probabilities from 30-day Fed Funds futures, became a key market reference after the data.<\/p>\n

    The technical picture now centres on whether Bitcoin can hold the high-US$70,000 range. The first support zone sits around US$78,000 (AU$107K), close to the intraday low, with a deeper level near US$75,000 (AU$103K) if selling accelerates.<\/p>\n

    At press time, Bitcoin is trading at US$79.5K (AU$108K), according to data from CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n
