Jan CPI was inline w/St on MoM basis, coming in +0.5% headline & +0.4% core. On YoY basis, things ran bit hot, coming in +6.4% headline (down from +6.5% in Dec but ahead of St’s +6.2%) & +5.6% core (down from +5.7% but ahead of St’s +5.5%.

Also, note that the buy wall has returned to the $24.4k range in 2 levels. If the $6M up top gets hit, I expect the lower $18M to the rug.”$BTCTight daily range at the moment. I think we eventually interact with both red box and liquidity below. I’d be watching for shorts from red box and for longs after sweeping 20.3K liquidity.Drawing below provides my current gut thoughts on PA. pic.twitter.com/utoHq4LYX8— Crypto Chase (@Crypto_Chase) February 14, 2023 Since Monday, more than $700 million worth of BUSD tokens have been burnt by Paxos, the company that created the $16 billion Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin. According to blockchain data, Paxos indicated at that time that it would stop issuing the coin due to increasing regulatory pressure. Amid the growing tensions, EdaFace price is likely to trade in a tight range.
