As the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index was announced in line with market expectations, easing inflation concerns, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is showing a recovery trend.

According to a report by CoinGeape, a virtual asset media outlet, the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures price index for last month, announced on April 9 (local time), matched experts' forecasts. As the PCE figures, which are the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation indicator, showed stability, the market's expectation that the interest rate cut path would be maintained grew. Immediately after the report, Bitcoin's price recovered the $71,000 level, securing upward momentum.

Analysts evaluated this inflation indicator as sending a positive signal to the virtual asset market. This is because macro-economic uncertainties were partially resolved as PCE inflation did not deviate from the expected range. The belief that the Fed's monetary policy would move within a predictable range stimulated investor sentiment. Immediately after the indicator's release, Bitcoin rose to $71,500, recovering most of its recent losses.

Institutional investors' buying spree is also supporting Bitcoin's recovery. As risk asset preference strengthened after the inflation data release, capital inflows into spot ETFs became active again. Experts predict that as long as inflation remains at a controllable level, Bitcoin will continue to attract capital, recognized for its value as digital gold. Optimism is spreading in the market that Bitcoin will soon break through the $72,000 resistance level.

The increased likelihood of a soft landing for the U.S. economy also contributed to Bitcoin's rally. Stable PCE inflation helps maintain household spending power and inject vitality into the overall economy. This environment provides a foundation for supplying stable liquidity to the volatile virtual asset market. Investors are closely monitoring additional economic indicators to be released in the future and expanding their positions.

Bitcoin is currently consolidating its price in the early $71,000 range, preparing to set new highs. This indicator announcement served as a catalyst to quell widespread tightening concerns in the market. The virtual asset market is expected to continue its upward trend in line with the Fed's next moves and macroeconomic trends.
