DOGE Joins Cryptos In Cheering July CPI
A lower inflation rise in July was cheered by the broader cryptocurrency market and also saw DOGE rising on Wednesday evening. The extension of the risk-on rally could lead to an appreciation in the price of Bitcoin, said Edward Moya, senior market analyst with OANDA. “If inflation continues to drop, the bull-steepening trade will gain further momentum,” the analyst said.
Delusional Optimism
Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus commented on the decline in inflation on Wednesday and said that it went down from last month’s “obscenely high” level of 9.1% year-over-year to a similarly "obscene" level — 8.5% — this month. Markus said in a tongue-in-cheek fashion that it was time to “return to delusional optimism.”
