According to The Kobeissi Letter, April 2025 PPI inflation decreased to 2.4%, undercutting expectations of 2.5%, while core PPI fell to 3.1%, matching forecasts. However, March PPI figures were revised upward from 3.3% to 4.0%, and core PPI from 3.1% to 3.4%. These mixed inflation signals may increase short-term market volatility and uncertainty, directly influencing crypto traders' risk sentiment as monetary policy outlooks remain unclear.

According to Crypto Rover, the upcoming CPI data is forecasted at year-over-year 2.4%, with Truflation indicating even lower inflation numbers (source: Crypto Rover, Twitter, May 12, 2025). If the official CPI confirms these lower figures, expectations are high for a significant bullish reaction across both traditional and crypto markets, potentially fueling Bitcoin and altcoin price rallies. Traders should monitor the CPI release closely as confirmation of easing inflation could trigger increased trading volumes and volatility in cryptocurrencies.
