Bitcoin price volatility may spike as U.S. CPI data and Fed rate decision loom this week.

Bitcoin's price has recently been more sensitive to U.S. economic data releases, such as employment and CPI reports, than to Federal Reserve rate decisions themselves. This Friday's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is expected to set the tone for bitcoin ahead of the Fed's rate decision next Wednesday. Market analysts note that thin trading and subdued derivatives activity could amplify bitcoin's price swings. The Fed's decision, along with its rate projections and Chair Kevin Warsh's comments, will further influence bitcoin's volatility. Currently, the market expects a 60% chance of a rate hike, and bitcoin is trading near $79,000, up 3% over the past week.
