Inflation is Back!

Since the Fed "pivoted," CPI has risen to a 7-month high and PPI just hit its highest since Feb 2023. In fact, rates paid by Americans are UP +100 bps since cuts began

Today, data showed US PPI inflation unexpected surged to +3.5%, its highest since February 2023. But, it gets even worse.

Core PPI inflation came in at 3.6% and December Core PPI was revised higher, from 3.5% to 3.7%.

Inflation is hot. If this trend continues, we might not see QE for a while, assuming that the FED remains independent of Trump’s decisions to cut rates immediately.

If QE is delayed, BTC could stagnate for a while due to weakened macro-economic conditions.

Memecoin Mania Continues!

Someone launched the Broccoli meme coin named after CZ’s pet dog on the $BNB chain and its market cap reached $420 million in Just 10 minutes.

Now it has been dumped by more than 96% in just a few minutes. Its current Market Cap is Just $27.3 million.

This incident yet again highlights the risks associated with meme investments. Remember, always invest only what you are willing to lose, and treat memecoins as a gamble, and nothing more.

We at Coinsauce strongly recommend new crypto investors to stay away from memecoins and invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum or other high-utility tokens instead.

Bitcoin Miners Reduce Selling Pressure!

Recently, miners took advantage of the market rally to sell some of their BTC and cover operational costs. However, selling pressure has now dropped, indicating that the supply of BTC from miners is decreasing.

The Bitcoin Miner Sell Pressure metric tracks this behavior by comparing BTC outflows with the average reserves over time. After a period of heavy selling, values are now below average, suggesting a pause in miner liquidations.

What does this have to do with network difficulty?

Mining difficulty has increased again, meaning competition among miners is higher. Normally, this would raise selling pressure as operational costs rise. However, since miners have already sold recently, many might be holding BTC now, waiting for higher prices. But if difficulty keeps rising, it's likely that new selling pressure will return to the market.

Overall, this is a bullish sign for BTC as reduced sell pressure from the cohort of miners could lead to higher prices in the near term future.
