What moved Bitcoin price today?

A benign US inflation print lifted risk appetite and triggered about $587 million in crypto short liquidations. That forced buying, plus early‑week spot ETF inflows and rising open interest, helped push price to a two‑month high. Technicals improved too, with trend strength firming and volatility expanding, which often supports follow‑through in the near term.

Which levels matter after this breakout?

We are watching $95,000 as a near‑term pivot. Above it, the round $100,000 mark is a logical target. On dips, $94,500 and then the $92.9k–$93k zone are key supports. A daily close back inside Bollinger bands after an outside move could signal a pause or a deeper retrace.

Did US CPI 2.7% change the outlook?

Inflation data met forecasts, which calmed rate worries and supported risk assets. The steady print reduced macro uncertainty, allowing flows and technicals to drive price action. That backdrop helped Bitcoin extend gains, but the trend still depends on incoming data, liquidity conditions, and whether ETF demand remains consistent over the next sessions.

How should Swiss investors view Bitcoin ETF flows?

Positive spot ETF flows suggest durable demand from institutions, which can stabilize price and deepen liquidity. For Swiss investors using CHF accounts, flows are a useful context signal, not a trading system. Combine them with levels, ATR‑based sizing, and clear invalidation points, and consider USD exposure when measuring portfolio risk in CHF.
