US CPI In Focus As Bitcoin & Altcoins Gear Up For Further Rally
The crypto market enters a crucial week, with the US CPI inflation figures in focus. In addition, the US Producer Price Index (PPI) data, another critical inflation metric considered by the US Federal Reserve to decide their rate cut plans, is also scheduled for this week. Notably, investors eagerly await this figure as Bitcoin as well as the altcoins sector is gearing up for further rally, potentially hitting new records ahead.
Crypto Market Awaits US CPI Inflation Figures
The crypto market has noted a strong rally recently, with investors anticipating the rally to continue ahead. Now, with the robust Labor market, as evidenced by last week’s Job data, traders are eagerly waiting for the upcoming US CPI inflation figures. For context, the US added 227K jobs in November, up from the market expectations of 220K. Besides, the US unemployment rate also rose to 4.2% in November, up from 4.1% in the prior month.
Notably, the economic indicators tend to influence the broader financial market, let alone the digital assets space. Having said that, inflation and other key figures play a key role in shaping the market sentiment.
Now, investors eagerly await the US Consumer Price Index data, which is scheduled for Wednesday, December 11. According to the market forecast, the inflation is expected to come in at 2.7%, as compared to 2.6% in the prior month. Simultaneously, the Core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, is expected to cool down to 3.2% from 3.3% noted in October. A hotter-than-anticipated inflation figure usually results in a waning risk-bet appetite of the traders.
On the other hand, the US PPI data, another key metric to gauge inflationary pressure, is scheduled for Thursday, December 12. The market participants would also keep close track of these figures for clarity on the current inflationary pressures in the nation. Notably, the market is expecting the US PPI figures to remain unchanged from last month.
Will Bitcoin & Altcoins Continue To Rally?
The crypto market, along with Bitcoin and the top altcoins has noted a robust rally recently, indicating strong market confidence. Notably, BTC has recently soared past the $100K mark, touching its ATH of $103,900 last week. Notably, the rally started as optimism soared toward pro-crypto regulations in the US after Donald Trump’s election win.
Now, despite anticipation over hot US CPI inflation figures, the market anticipates the Bitcoin and altcoins rally to continue ahead. Although some analysts warned over short-term pullbacks during these bull phase, the digital assets are likely to set new records ahead.
In addition, historical data suggests that Q4 tends to be positive for the financial markets, especially cryptocurrencies. It’s worth noting that so far, the crypto market also showed a similar performance this year as well. Considering that, the economic indicators are not likely to weigh much on the investors’ sentiment ahead.
What’s Next For BTC & Other Crypto?
In a recent analysis, top crypto market analyst Ali Martinez said that Bitcoin is poised to reach $112,926, citing technical trends. This has sparked optimism among investors, especially as BTC whales are on a buying spree in recent days.
Martinez also said in another post that “Bitcoin whale accumulation is going parabolic.” He noted that recently the whales have purchased 20,000 BTC, worth around $2 billion. In addition, the soaring retail interest also hints toward a further rally ahead. Notably, Marathon Digital (MARA) has accelerated its BTC buying strategy, gaining investors’ attention.
So far, the altcoins have also followed Bitcoin’s run towards the north. Talking about the altcoin season, CryptoQuant CEO and Founder Ki Young Ju showed confidence in the altcoin market, citing the crypto trading trend in South Korea. In a recent X post, he stated:
“South Korea: The world’s second-largest crypto market, where 93% of trades are altcoins and only 4% are Bitcoin. Every season is alt season.”

Elon Musk has doused optimism for the US government to adopt Dogecoin at the America PAC town hall event. The head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) noted that the government agency only bears a nominal resemblance to the memecoin.
Elon Musk Dispels Rumors Of Dogecoin Adoption By The US Government
At a recent event, Tesla CEO Elon Musk cleared the air on the potential adoption of Dogecoin by the US government. In his keynote speech, Musk noted that the US government will not be adopting Dogecoin, contrary to swirling speculation.
Musk noted that the speculation gained traction following the launch of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Following the launch of DOGE and Musk tapped to lead the agency, enthusiasm for Dogecoin government utility reached new highs.
However, Musk clarified that the agency bears only a nominal resemblance to the memecoin, stemming from an internet trend. The Tesla CEO disclosed that the original intended name was the Government Efficiency Commission, opting for DOGE “because the internet is right.”
“The name is similar but they are two different things,” said Musk. “But there are no plans for the government to use Dogecoin as far as I know.”
Musk has a long and storied history with Dogecoin, famously shilling the memecoin and integrating DOGE payments for Tesla. Musk teased an anime-themed DOGE on X, setting the stage for a $2 rally for the memecoin.
DOGE Reacts Negatively To The News
Dogecoin price slumped by nearly 2% in the wake of the grim report. Currently, the memecoin is trading at 0.1660 as it eyes a push toward the $1 mark.
The negative fundamental adds pressure to reports of DOGE forming a falling wedge pattern, signaling a potential downward breakout. However, optimists are rippling with confidence that DOGE can shake off the negative sentiments to post new all-time highs.
One analysis claims that if the Dogecoin price breaks a 3-month trendline, an $8 valuation for the memecoin is in play. Others claim that the House of Doge Reserve launch will be a tailwind for Dogecoin price, sending the dog-themed coin on a strong rally.

Crypto inflows hit $226 million last week, signaling a cautiously optimistic investor sentiment amid ongoing market volatility.
According to CoinShares data, altcoins broke a five-week streak of negative flows, recording their first inflows in over a month.
Crypto Inflows Hit $226 Million Last Week
This turnout marks a significant slowdown from the previous week when crypto inflows hit $644 million, ending a five-week outflow streak. Before that, inflows peaked at $1.3 billion, with Ethereum outpacing Bitcoin in investor demand.
“Digital asset investment products saw $226 million of inflows last week suggesting a positive but cautious investor,” read an excerpt in the report.
The pullback to $226 million last week suggests a more measured approach by investors as they assess macroeconomic conditions and regulatory uncertainties.
Specifically, CoinShares’ researcher James Butterfill ascribes Friday’s minor outflows of $74 million to core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) in the US, which came in above expectations.
“The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation (Core PCE) moved up to 2.8% in February & remains well above their 2% target that has yet to be achieved. The market is expecting the Fed to hold rates steady again at their next meeting on May 7 (at 4.25-4.50%),” investor Charlie Bilello noted.
Nevertheless, this turnaround comes after nine consecutive trading days of inflows into crypto ETPs (exchange-traded products).
Despite the slowdown, Bitcoin continued to attract strong inflows of $195 million. Meanwhile, short-Bitcoin products registered outflows of $2.5 million for the fourth consecutive week. This suggests that investors are leaning bullish on Bitcoin, even as altcoins begin to recover.
The CoinShares report shows that altcoins saw $33 million in inflows last week after suffering $1.7 billion in outflows over the past month.
Altcoins Rebound After $1.7 Billion in Outflows
Ethereum (ETH) led the recovery, attracting $14.5 million, then Solana (SOL) at $7.8 million, while XRP and Sui recorded $4.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Market analysts believe altcoins may be bottoming out, creating potential buying opportunities.
“Altcoins are oversold. The bottom is close. We’re ready for a bounce,” renowned analyst Crypto Rover highlighted.
Other analysts echoed the sentiment, suggesting growing attention toward altcoins. Among them was trader Thomas Kralow, who said, “altcoins are setting up for a comeback.”
Adding credence to this bullish outlook for altcoins, project researcher BitcoinHabebe, known for insightful mid-low cap sniper entries, pointed to technical indicators suggesting a market reversal.
“While bears are trying to spread fear & make you sell your altcoins, the TOTAL3 [Altcoins market cap chart excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum] just bounced off an HTF [higher timeframe] retest,” the analyst stated.
This means most coins have bottomed out and are expected to start reversing soon. Cole Garner noted a key buy signal in market liquidity metrics, further supporting this view.
“Tether Ratio Channel already flashed a double buy signal this month. Now my lower timeframe version is popping off. Fresh capital incoming,” he indicated.
The Tether Ratio Channel is an on-chain analytical tool that helps traders identify potential buy signals. It tracks the ratio of Bitcoin’s market capitalization to that of stablecoins, acting as a leading indicator for short- to medium-term trends.
When the ratio hits certain levels, it can signal shifts in market sentiment, often indicating whether fresh capital is entering or exiting the market.
While overall crypto inflows have slowed compared to previous weeks, the return of capital into altcoins suggests renewed investor confidence. Analysts see signs of an impending altcoin rally, with market metrics indicating that most coins have bottomed out.
As investors weigh macroeconomic uncertainties, the coming weeks could be critical in determining whether the altcoin recovery sustains momentum or if caution prevails.

Cardano price is repeating a pattern from 2024 that experts say is a signal for a massive pump in the coming weeks. While present figures are largely underwhelming for ADA, investors are brimming with confidence for a strong reversal in the near future.
Cardano Price Can Reach $2.5 In May
According to pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst Master Kenobi, Cardano price is exhibiting cyclical behavior. In a post on X, Master Kenobi notes that ADA’s consolidation in recent days mirrors its price action from Q3 of 2024.
At the time, Cardano’s price suffered a steep correction in early August and endured a lengthy consolidation period before rallying. Presently, Cardano’s price is consolidating after the deep in early February that sent prices to $0.49.
“ADA is currently in a consolidation phase that resembles its behavior from August-September 2024,” said Master Kenobi. “Since the dip on August 5, it hasn’t recorded a new low – just as it hasn’t now, following the dip on February 3.”
According to Master Kenobi, a lengthy consolidation phase will be the precursor for an impressive rally for Cardano’s price. The analyst theorizes that the incoming rally will send Cardano to impressive levels in May. In the short term, analysts are eyeing ADA to hit $1, citing rising whale activity and positive fundamentals.
“If this pattern holds, May could bring a massive pump, potentially pushing the price toward $2.5,” said Master Kenobi.
ADA Ripples With Bullish Activity
At the moment, Cardano price is trading at $0.6646, a far cry from its all-time high of $3.10. Despite the lull in price action, the ecosystem is brimming with bullish activity for higher valuation.
Investors have their eyes on $10 after ADA outperformed top S&P 500 companies in a strong show of resilience. Futhermore, increased whale activity in the space is signaling an impending rally for ADA as community sentiment reaches an all-time high.
Analysts have opined that an ADA rally to $10 is not a crazy prediction, citing a slew of positive fundamentals for the network. However, pundits are urging investors to brace for multiple corrections in the march to reach a valuation of $10.
