Bitcoin’s price tumbled by about $1,000 in less than a few minutes as the numbers for January’s consumer price index came on.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is used to gauge the average change over time in the prices that are paid by urban consumer for a basket of consumer goods and certain services.
Many people also refer to it as an approximation of the current inflation rates.
There are indexes available for various states and geographic areas.
For January, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumer increased to 7.5% from 7% for December – not seasonally adjusted.
February 2022 CPI information is scheduled for release for March 10th.
