Bitcoin reacted with sharp volatility to the U.S. inflation data but ended without a clear direction. After the initial impact of the November CPI release, BTC is trading around $85,558, unchanged over the past 24 hours, in a context dominated by liquidity sweeps and elevated liquidations.
The Consumer Price Index surprised to the downside. Headline inflation came in at 2.7% year over year, while Core CPI printed at 2.6%, its lowest level since March 2021. The data came in well below expectations and reinforced bets on interest-rate cuts in 2026.
In the immediate reaction, Bitcoin jumped from the $87,000 area to a local high near $89,500, but it failed to hold the move and quickly retraced. Volatility clustered around the Wall Street open, while liquidations exceeded $630 million over 24 hours, highlighting a market that remains heavily leveraged.
The short-term picture remains fragile. While slowing inflation is supportive for risk assets, price action shows a lack of conviction. Bitcoin continues to oscillate between liquidity levels without confirming a clear trend.
