The U.S. April Consumer Price Index (CPI), released yesterday, showed a trend of "slowing inflation," partially easing market concerns. Although year-over-year prices remained high, investor sentiment appears to be stabilizing as assessments suggest that the scenario of a sharp re-acceleration of inflation feared by the market has been avoided. Consequently, Tether dominance (USDT.D), a measure of safe-haven sentiment, rose to 7.22% during the session before falling back to the 7.11% range, and a bullish candle is forming on the charts of major cryptocurrencies today.

Bitcoin (BTC) has successfully recovered a key short-term support zone. As of 4 p.m. on the 13th, Bitcoin was trading at $80,956 (approximately 120.49 million KRW), recovering the $80,000 level it had fallen below the previous day. The market analyzes that risk appetite has revived as concerns about a strong dollar have partially eased following the CPI announcement. However, as strong resistance still remains around the $82,000 level, the possibility of increased short-term volatility is also being raised.

Ethereum (ETH) is also attempting to re-establish itself at key price levels. As of the same time, Ethereum is trading at $2,301 (approximately 3.42 million KRW), recovering the $2,300 level it had broken below the previous day. The market believes that if Ethereum succeeds in holding support at the $2,300 level, the short-term rebound trend is likely to strengthen.

XRP continues to maintain a relatively strong trend. As of the same time, XRP is trading near $1.45 (KRW 2,158) and is attempting to break through a major resistance zone again. The market forecasts that whether it breaks through $1.46 will be a key turning point for further upward momentum.

Market assessments suggest that while concerns about tightening have not been completely resolved following the CPI announcement, the fact that the worst-case scenario was avoided is having a positive effect on the stability of the risk asset market. In particular, analysts believe that the reversal of Tether dominance back to a downward trend is contributing to a short-term rebound in the cryptocurrency market.
