What caused Bitcoin to rise after March CPI?

Core CPI undershot forecasts at 0.2%, hinting at Fed patience — no hikes, maybe holds. Energy spiked headline, but core's what counts.

Will softer CPI lead to Fed rate cuts?

Unlikely soon. Data's mixed; oil war muddies it. Holds through June probable, cuts later if trend holds.

Tight ranges suggest big move ahead — up or down. Watch Fed minutes, oil prices. History says don't chase.
