Bitcoin traded near $98,000 Wednesday after US November inflation data aligned with forecasts.
The annual inflation rate reached 2.7%, matching consensus up 0.1%, while core inflation held at 3.3%, according to Trading Economics data. Monthly figures recorded 0.3%, slightly above last month’s 0.2%, and the Consumer Price Index stood at 315.49.
Bitcoin has maintained levels above $90,000 since breaking $100,000 on Dec. 5, when it reached $103,800. It recently hovered below six figures after briefly touching $94,000 on Nov. 21 before rebounding. Bitcoin price appears largely unaffected by the new CPI data as of press time.
