Part 2: Higher CPI Should Boost More Than Just Gold Prices

“BTC is trading at approximately $60,500. This marks the first close above $60,000 for Bitcoin futures, and I believe we will see $65,000 by week’s end.”

-excerpt from previous article on 4/12/2021.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. 20 of the 21 indexes rose compared to the previous month, most notable energy of which gasoline saw a 9% rise. Combined there was a 0.6% increase in the month of March. This beat out the increases seen over the last six months and brought the CPI up to a 2.6% increase over March 2020.

This number came in above estimates and we did see a rise in the price of gold and silver but also Bitcoin and Ethereum. It looks like we will indeed see $65,000 in BTC as today’s record high came in about $500 short of that at $64,450. Where will Bitcoin go to from here?

My prediction of a new record this month in April is that we will reach at minimum $69,600 this is based on Elliot Wave models and Fibonacci extensions. Although it has the potential to go even higher. In tandem to this we will see Ethereum trade to the prices I mentioned yesterday, today we saw an equal rise of about 5% on the day. The month of April will be big for Bitcoin.
