Bitstamp data showed the cryptocurrency surged to $79,837 as the sudden spike put Bitcoin on course to breach $80,000.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"bitcoin market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Before the surge, the top cryptocurrency was reeling from<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/zec-dips-below-1100-as-market-selloff-triggers-altcoin-pullback\/\"> bearish sentiment<\/a> sparked by the release of hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index data less than 24 hours earlier. As reported by Bitcoin.com News, the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/562m-liquidation-surge-hits-crypto-market-after-ppi-inflation-jump\/\">bitcoin price slid to a one-week low of $76,651<\/a> from just over $78,000 soon after the data release, before rising to settle above $77,000.<\/p>\n<p>The price continued to fluctuate around that threshold until 8:30 a.m. EST, when a flash crash sent the cryptocurrency tumbling to $76,040. An equally rapid surge sent it to $78,000 before a subsequent rally pushed it past $79,800 by midmorning. After consolidating above $78,500, another wave of selling sent it to $77,300.<\/p>\n<p>At 12:07 p.m. EST, it hovered above $77,800, leaving bitcoin with a daily gain of 1% and a market capitalization near $1.57 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency\u2019s seesaw price action in the last 24 hours left long and short traders equally battered. Coinglass data showed long position liquidations topped $104 million, compared to $100 million in shorts. Overall, liquidations across the cryptocurrency market topped $732 million, with wiped-out short bets reaching $424 million.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the CPI matching expectations, bettors on prediction markets immediately raised the odds of the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates by 25 basis points to 82%. Commenting on the data, economist Peter Schiff said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis should all but ensure a hike. If so, the odds of a second hike in Dec have risen to 74.2%. This knee-jerk rally in markets likely won\u2019t last, especially since the rate hikes won\u2019t be enough to lower inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another economist, Robin Brooks, said the firm CPI print makes a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/robin_j_brooks\/status\/2098418184596406707\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hike unavoidable<\/a> if the U.S. government\u2019s key goal is to keep borrowing costs from rising out of control.<\/p>\n<h2>Ray Dalio Warns of Stagflationary Pressures<\/h2>\n<p>Billionaire Ray Dalio also weighed in, stating that while the U.S. is trying to hold short-term rates down, long-term rates are climbing\u2014a trend he said is already evident. Dalio also pointed to the weakening dollar and movements in gold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs rates rise, it starts to affect the stock market. With bonds dropping and stocks rising, the prospective returns of stocks are now low compared to bonds, translating into broader stock market pressure,\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RayDalio\/status\/2098411249218592784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Dalio explained in a post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dalio, this dynamic creates a stagflationary environment that the Federal Reserve struggles to manage. With stagflation, the Fed wrestles with whether to tighten or ease. \u201cIn an economy with vast wealth disparity, the financial impact differs drastically depending on whether you own stocks, which carries huge political implications,\u201d Dalio said.<\/p>\n<p>While the long-term thesis is structural, Dalio\u2019s short-term warning about rising rates and stock market pressure highlights a key drag on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/price\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> performance. For instance, when real interest rates rise or stay \u201chigher for longer,\u201d capital tends to leave high-risk speculative assets. Because institutional capital still treats bitcoin as a high-volatility risk asset, rising yields will hit bitcoin alongside tech stocks.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if the Federal Reserve tightens into stagflation, market liquidity dries up. Flash crashes and leverage liquidations will occur because macro traders sell liquid assets to raise cash during margin calls.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\"><a aria-label=\"Read Now:
