Bitcoin price remained under pressure this week as concerns about inflation continued amid the escalating situation in the Middle East. The BTC/USD pair fell to 78,490, a few points below this month’s high of 82,670.

Bitcoin Price Wavers Amid Inflation Concerns

The BTC/USD pair pulled back as energy prices continued rising overnight. Brent, the global benchmark, crossed the important resistance level of $100 as the US and Iran exchanged fire. US launched attacks near Kharg Island, a move meant to push the Iranians to capitulate. Iran responded by striking US interests in the region.

The rising oil and gas prices raise the possibility that inflation will continue rising this year. A high inflation rate coupled with the recent strong jobs report means that the Federal Reserve will either hike interest rates or leave them at an elevated level. The bank has maintained rates unchanged between 3.50% and 3.75% this year.

This week’s inflation report will provide more hints on what to expect next week when the Fed meets next week. In a recent statement, Christopher Waller, a top Fed official, hinted that he will support hiking rates in this meeting if the upcoming inflation report is higher than expected.
