US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation surged to 3.5% in March, the highest since August 2023, pushing Bitcoin down to around $76,000. Core PCE inflation also rose to 3.2%, strengthening the Federal Reserve's case to maintain current interest rates amid US-Iran tensions. Market expectations now show a 58% chance of no rate cuts in 2026, pressuring speculative assets like Bitcoin. Despite $490 million in recent Bitcoin ETF withdrawals, institutional interest remains strong with $3.3 billion inflows in March, while geopolitical risks and rising oil prices continue to dampen risk appetite.
