Top 3 Cryptos To Watch Out For After The Inflation Report
1. Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin jumped from $18,317 to $19,880 in less than 24 hours on Thursday after the CPI inflation data was out. BTC spiked $1,563 in a day generating short-term gains and giving a boost to investors’ confidence. The leading crypto could move further in the indices today and breach the $20,000 mark. BTC is fluctuating between $18,000 to $21,000 for three months due to macroeconomic factors.
The same event might be repeated during today’s rally as the crypto markets are receiving large inflows. However, BTC can deliver short-term profits if timed well now until it reaches the $21K mark. Once it reaches $21K, certain retail investors are most likely to book profits and jump ship sending BTC on a downward spiral.

The crypto is still climbing up in price and if the same momentum continues, ETH might hover near the $1,400 mark.

3. Ripple (ETH)
XRP jumped double digits in the indices after the CPI report and attracted heavy bullish sentiments as the asset tested $0.53.

However, now that XRP has reached its resistance levels of $0.50, it is advised to wait for the day’s dips before taking an entry position.
At press time, XRP was trading at $0.49 and is up 8.8% in the 24 hours day trade.
