Bitcoin (BTC) Price Drops After U.S.-China Trade Deal as Thursday's U.S. PPI Data Induces Further Volatility

The trade deal between the U.S. and China will have a long-term positive impact but Bitcoin has experienced a sell-the-news scenario.

The trade deal between the U.S. and China will have a long-term positive impact but Bitcoin has experienced a sell-the-news scenario. Thursday’s U.S. PPI data will induce further crypto volatility amid ongoing pressure on the Fed from the executive to cut rates soon.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) encountered a mild resistance level at approximately $110,300 over the past three days. This slight downturn in the flagship coin’s value has contributed to a short-term bearish technical outlook, which coincides with the trade agreement reached between the United States and China.

Following a period of significant hype in recent weeks, the closure of the U.S.-China tariff negotiations has triggered a narrative of "sell the news" in the short term with regards to Bitcoin. Furthermore, BTC experienced a decline of more than 1 percent over the past 24 hours, reaching a price of about $108,728 during the mid-North American session on Wednesday, June 11.

Key Bitcoin Fundamental Aspects to Consider Before the End of this Week

U.S PPI Data on Thursday

The U.S. President Donald Trump has been pressuring the Federal Reserve to decrease interest rates in order to align with those in the EU market. On Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a cooler-than-expected inflation through the CPI data.

On Thursday, the same agency is set to release PPI data, which showcases the change in price over time for finished goods and services. With the FOMC statement also scheduled for next week, we can expect to see more volatility in the Bitcoin price.

U.S. Spot BTC ETF Cash Flow

The U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF issuers have been a primary force supporting the BTC network throughout the past year. As Coinpedia has reported on multiple occasions, the U.S. spot BTC ETFs serve as the fastest-growing investment vehicle in the 21st century, currently holding a collective total net asset value of about $132 billion.

On Tuesday, there was a substantial net cash inflow of approximately $336 million into BlackRock’s IBIT, followed closely by Fidelity’s FBTC, which experienced a net cash inflow of about $67 million.

What Next For BTC Price Action

In the weekly timeframe, the bigger picture of a bullish sentiment for BTC price is evident, especially after a solid rebound from the support level of around $103k in the last 14 days.

In the 1-hour timeframe, BTC price has been losing bullish momentum since hitting a local high of about $110,300 at the beginning of this week. The 1-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been forming a bearish divergence. With the MACD line attempting to cross below the zero line, amid growing bearish histograms, BTC price faces further short-term bearish sentiment in the coming days.

However, the support level established around $108.7k might hold in the coming days, amid high impact news, and trigger a fresh rally towards a new all-time high beyond $112k.
