Dogecoin, XRP Lead Crypto Rebound, Bitcoin Tops $96K as Traders Await Key Inflation Data

Crypto prices bounced from Monday’s wipeout with bitcoin (BTC) rising as high as $97,300 on Tuesday as traders eyed the latest batch of U.S. inflation data with more to come tomorrow.

The largest crypto’s dip below $90,000 yesterday was quickly bought up on reports that Donald Trump is preparing first-day executive orders benefitting the crypto industry. The advance continued today, supported by softer than expected U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) readings for December.

BTC recently changed hands at $96,500, up 3% over the past 24 hours, while the broad-market benchmark CoinDesk 20 Index outperformed with a 5% gain. Ripple’s XRP and dogecoin (DOGE) led altcoin majors with 6%-7% advances.

In traditional markets, the tech-heavy Nasdaq and the S&P 500 closed roughly flat.

Zooming out, bitcoin is still consolidating sideways above $90,000 while soaring bond yields and U.S. dollar shook markets across the globe over the past weeks. Market participants have already scaled back expectations for lower interest rates in the U.S. this year amidst recent hot U.S. economic data releases.

Wednesday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report could inject another burst of volatility to markets and provide further clues for traders into the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory for the year.

Looking past that, Trump’s inauguration ceremony slated for Jan. 20 could also move markets as anticipation builds for the incoming president’s pro-crypto actions.

K33 Research previously projected that the inauguration could be an opportunistic sell-the-news event amidst heightened expectations, but the early-year sell-off in stocks and digital assets made the firm revise its view.

“While our monthly outlook favored selling the inauguration, we’d like to rephrase this strategy as selling BTC at the inauguration is considerably less appealing unless the coming six days offer a substantial resurfacing of momentum” the report said. “The S&P 500 closed its post-election gap yesterday, and BTC reached 2-month lows.”

“De-risking would be entirely path-dependent on next week’s price action and short-lived in nature as we hold bullish long-term expectations for Trump’s impact on BTC,” the authors added.

Expert Witness

Ty Sagalow head shotTy Sagalow's unique background in legal, underwriting, policy drafting and claims – and his designation as a “qualified insurance expert” by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California – offers attorneys an unparalleled resource in D&O, E&O and Cyber insurance coverage disputes. He was also named "Most Helpful Expert" in a recent $8.7M coverage decision.

Mr. Sagalow served as Chief Underwriting Officer and General Counsel for AIG Executive Liability (formerly National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA), the world’s largest carrier of Directors and Officers Liability and Professional Liability Insurance. As General Counsel, Mr. Sagalow personally wrote or led teams that wrote all the D&O policies and many of the professional liability policies that AIG produced between 1988 and 2000 – policies which continue to serve as the foundational wording for the D&O and professional liability policies in the market today. As AIG Executive Liability’s Chief Underwriting Officer, Mr. Sagalow was charged with all underwriting interpretations and decisions for AIG D&O/E&O policies. In 2009, Mr. Sagalow headed up the team that rewrote all D&O policies for Zurich North America.

Ty is a cum laude graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and holds a LLM from New York University School of Law.
