Bitcoin holding steady around the $92K mark with a modest 1.7% uptick as Asian equities inch higher and crude oil continues climbing amid ongoing Middle East tensions. Ether trading at $3,158, down 2.2% on the session, while the broader crypto market cap stands at $3.23 trillion, reflecting a 1.6% gain. Market participants are bracing for the January 13 US CPI release—a key economic barometer that could reshape Fed expectations and risk sentiment across digital assets. Adding to the uncertainty, the recent subpoena to Fed Chair Powell has heightened concerns around policy continuity and regulatory direction, keeping traders cautious as they navigate multiple macro headwinds.
