Yesterday's CPI print was the spark, igniting a crypto rally as markets priced out Fed hikes. Bitcoin is pushing $65K ([BTC](/coins/btc)) on news of the largest inflation slowdown in six years. This macro shift is exactly what the bulls needed. Meanwhile, the UK's new 'no gain, no loss' tax on crypto lending could encourage more institutional flow by reducing friction. This is a clean signal for adoption.
On the other hand, Mizuho's downgrade of [USDC](/coins/usdc) to underperform highlights real threats from stablecoins like Open USD, even though it's not impacting price right now. This is more of a background risk unless the market turns. US authorities are also actively seizing crypto linked to Iran, showing enforcement is alive and well, but today's pulse is all about the macro tailwind.
Today's a momentum day confirmed by the macro beatdown on inflation. We're long biased, riding the crypto updraft. Follow the playbook: add into dips, defend your longs. This action aligns with the broader stock market's bullish squeeze. [explore Radiant algorithms](/algorithms).
