Bitcoin showed remarkable resistance by recovering in a short time despite the relatively high inflation data announced in the USA. Transactions in the cryptocurrency market Bitcoin fell to $ 79,879 after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was announced as 3.8 percent annually in America on Tuesday night. However, this decline in the market was quickly reversed on the Asian morning and Bitcoin rose again to $ 81,208. While the price increased by 0.3 percent in the last 24 hours, there was fluctuation in a volatile band of $ 1,400.
Price movements and fund flows in majors
Different performances were also seen in other major coins that stand out in the cryptocurrency market. While Binance Coin increased by 2.5 percent to $677, Dogecoin increased by 1.3 percent to $0.1114. Despite this liveliness in the market, Ethereum lost 0.3 percent in value in the last 24 hours, falling to $ 2,300, and showed the weakest performance in the group, decreasing 3.2 percent on a weekly basis. Solana decreased by 0.6 percent to $95.52, and XRP decreased by 0.5 percent to $1.45.
According to data from CoinShares, there was an inflow of $858 million into global cryptocurrency funds last week. $706 million of these inflows went to Bitcoin, $77 million to Ethereum, $48 million to Solana and $40 million to XRP products. Additionally, there was an outflow of $14 million from short (decline-oriented) positions in Bitcoin, and this was recorded as the largest weekly short position closure of 2026. Signals that investors’ bearish stance has weakened and upward movements may occur have become stronger.
Traditional markets and regulation steps
The announced inflation data caused a harsher reaction in traditional markets. S&P 500 index decreased by 0.2 percent and Nasdaq 100 decreased by 0.9 percent. Shares, especially in the semiconductor sector, were subject to significant selling pressure. While the two-year bond yield in the US, to which forward interest rates are sensitive, remained just below 4 percent, the 20-year bond yield in Japan reached such a high level for the first time since 1997. Rising energy prices appear to increase global inflation pressure.
In Asian stock markets, the selling pressure partially recovered during the day. After the White House announced that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang would attend the China visit with US President Donald Trump, a positive atmosphere was created in the futures of semiconductor manufacturers.
Market perception and legal developments
According to market analysis, it is noticeable that money flows in crypto assets are still positive. FxPro chief market analyst Alex Kuptsikevich stated that overall market sentiment has stabilized at 47, 48 and 49 levels in recent days, indicating that the bears have a slight advantage.
Pointing out that Bitcoin lost its upward momentum as it approached the 200-day average, Kuptsikevich emphasized that long-term price fluctuations made this line evident.
In addition, CoinShares pointed out that the recent fund inflows were influenced by the compromise reached on stablecoin interest rates within the scope of the CLARITY Act, which the Senate Banking Committee in the USA will discuss next week. It was stated that this legal process in the Senate was among the rare positive winds in the market after the Iran war and manifested itself in fund flows rather than prices.
CryptoAppsy According to data, Bitcoin maintained its level of $ 81,000 despite this high inflation data and the tightening Treasury bond environment, revealing that strong buyers are still active in the market. However, it is anticipated that this course will be tested with next week’s Senate hearings and new macroeconomic data.
