[21Shares Analyst: March CPI Data Already Priced In, BTC May Consolidate in the Short Term] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on March 12, according to Cointelegraph, a market analyst from 21Shares stated that February's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data met market expectations, and the anticipated rise in March CPI has already been priced in by macroeconomic data. Stephen Coltman, Head of Macro at 21Shares, pointed out that persistently rising CPI data will put greater pressure on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), with the focus being on whether the Federal Reserve will adopt a hawkish stance in response to inflation shocks. Matt Mena, a crypto research strategist at 21Shares, noted that BTC may fluctuate in the $68,000 to $74,000 range in the short term, but the likelihood of breaking through the $75,000 resistance level is increasing. Once breached, BTC may enter a consolidation range of $75,000 to $80,000 in the medium term. Historical data shows that BTC typically rebounds by 15% or more following geopolitical shocks. If the FOMC resumes rate cuts in 2026, this recovery process could accelerate.
