Bitcoin Hits $84K! Is It Time to Panic or Party? ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’ธ

So, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics decided to drop some numbers on us. Apparently, inflation is down to 2.8% YoY. I mean, who knew? Last month it was 3%. And here I thought we were just going to keep spiraling into chaos. But wait, the experts thought it would be 2.9%. Classic, right? Always a little off. ๐Ÿ™„

U.S. CPI: +2.8% YEAR-OVER-YEAR (EST. +2.9%)
U.S. CORE CPI: +3.1% YEAR-OVER-YEAR (EST. +3.2%)

And guess what? Bitcoin (BTC) just couldnโ€™t resist the urge to jump above $84,000 right after this news. I mean, who wouldnโ€™t want to ride that wave? Itโ€™s like a rollercoaster, but without the safety harness. ๐ŸŽข

Now, this drop in inflation is getting cozy with the 2% mark, which the Federal Reserve thinks is the sweet spot. Theyโ€™re watching this like hawks, probably with binoculars and a cup of coffee. โ˜•

Last year, they cut rates three times, but this year? Crickets. They were all like, โ€œWeโ€™ll cut rates twice this year,โ€ but here we are, still waiting. Itโ€™s like waiting for a bus that never comes. And when they do cut rates, itโ€™s supposed to make borrowing money easier. Great! Letโ€™s all go buy more risky assets like BTC! What could possibly go wrong? ๐Ÿ˜…

Meanwhile, the Core CPI, which conveniently ignores food and energy (because who needs to eat, right?), is up by 3.1% YoY. Just a smidge below the expected 3.2%. So, weโ€™re all just living in a world of expectations, arenโ€™t we? Fantastic! ๐Ÿ™ƒ
