Bitcoin flat near $80K as hawkish Fed, hotter inflation weigh
- —BTC holds near $80,000 with no clear direction
- —Core PCE inflation rose to 3.1% year over year
- —Headline PCE came in at 3.6%, matching forecasts
- —The Fed kept its benchmark rate at 3.75–4%
Why it matters: Hotter inflation alongside a hawkish Fed caps risk appetite and keeps bitcoin stuck in its $80K–$85K range.
