The cryptocurrency market has seen a broad rally, with the total market capitalization increasing by 1.8% to $3.95 trillion. This surge is largely attributed to new U.S. inflation data that came in softer than anticipated.
Bitcoin led the charge, climbing 2.22% to trade above $113,800. Other major cryptocurrencies also posted solid gains, including Ethereum (1.55% to over $4,380), Solana (1.99%), and Cardano (1.47%).XRP also rose, gaining 1.10% and showing over 5% growth for the week.
The rally extended to meme coins and newer projects, with Dogecoin up 2.54% and Hyperliquid surging over 3% in the last 24 hours. The Altcoin Season Index is currently at 69/100, suggesting that smaller cryptocurrencies are beginning to outperform Bitcoin.
The positive market movement follows the release of the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for August, which unexpectedly showed a 0.1% decline month-over-month. This softer inflation data has increased speculation that the Federal Reserve may opt for a more significant interest rate cut at its next meeting. However, the market remains volatile, as Bitcoin has historically struggled to hold gains on dovish news. The upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) release will be the next key indicator to watch.
