Bitcoin Price Eyes Rally to $114,000 on Softer Inflation and US CPI Data
Bitcoin price bounced back from the $110,000 support levels following the release of the US CPI data.
Crypto analyst Ted Pillows stated that Bitcoin (BTC) needs to reclaim the $113,000-$114,000 range to confirm further upside potential.
He also warned that if the current rally turns out to be another false breakout, the market could experience a sharp correction in the near future.
$BTC has reclaimed the $110,000 support level.
CPI data will be released today, and it'll decide the next move for Bitcoin.
I'm currently looking for BTC to reclaim the $113,000-$114,000 level for more upside.

The US Labor Department released a “rare exception” Consumer Price Index (CPI) report amid the ongoing government shutdown, showing inflation cooled more than expected in September.
Headline CPI rose 3.0% year-over-year, slightly below the 3.1% forecast, while core CPI, which excludes food and energy, also came in at 3.0%, under expectations of 3.1%.
Both the monthly headline and core CPI readings were weaker than projected, signaling softer inflationary pressures. This has once again triggered the risk-ON sentiment and paved the way for another Federal Reserve rate cut next week.
Amid the CPI inflation data, the US market is also showing strength with the S&P 500 gaining nearly 1% to record highs and approaching nearly 6,800.
Altcoins Rally as Fed Rate Cut Expectations Grow
The overall cooling of inflation is good for altcoins, as the Federal Reserve could pivot further towards quantitative easing. The data from CME Fed watch tool shows a 99% chance of another 25 bps rate cut coming next week on October 29.
However, it remains to be seen whether the bulls could pull this off for a sustained altseason. On-chain data shows that the Trump insider whale reportedly opened $150 million in long positions ahead of former President Trump’s speech today.
The trader, who claims a 10/10 success rate, is said to have accurately predicted every major pump and dump in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
