The consumer price index measures inflation. When CPI reaches high values, fiat currencies like the dollar lose their purchasing power. Some consider Bitcoin a haven for capital, however, in practice, the correlation between CPI and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="">Bitcoin’s</a> price is not always positive and straightforward. The digital asset market is characterized by its volatility. 
At the end of March, analysts at QCP Capital <a href="https://crypto.news/qcp-capital-predicts-a-larger-bull-run-post-bitcoin-halving/" target="_blank" rel="">stated</a> that BTC could face a correction in the medium term due to rising inflation rates in the United States. In its forecast, QCP analysts pointed to a reduction in capital inflows into the spot Bitcoin <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/etf/" target="_blank" rel="">ETF</a> sector. The indicator’s transition to the red zone resulted in an ‘inadequate’ drawdown in the asset price below $61,000.
