According to Crypto Rover, U.S. inflation has increased by 0.64 percentage points in the past 18 days, raising concerns that the Federal Reserve may delay interest rate cuts if inflation is not controlled. This scenario is considered bearish for Bitcoin and altcoins, as higher inflation and postponed rate cuts typically lead to reduced liquidity and risk appetite in crypto markets (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter, May 20, 2025). Traders should closely monitor U.S. macroeconomic indicators, as persistent inflation could continue to pressure digital asset prices in the near term.
