Four US economic events could influence Bitcoin between January 12 and 17

Beincrypto reports that four US economic events between January 12 and 17 could shape investor sentiment and near-term Bitcoin volatility. The US Consumer Price Index covering December 2025, due Tuesday, is the week’s focal point with markets pricing a headline CPI of about 2.7% year-over-year and a core CPI near 2.6–2.7%.

A cooler-than-expected print would, according to the report, boost rate-cut odds ahead of the late-January FOMC meeting, weaken the dollar and support risk assets such as BTC, while a hotter print could spark short-term volatility and press Bitcoin toward the reported $90,000 support area.

Bitcoin was trading at $91,977 as of this writing, and the piece says expectations overall lean toward a positive outcome for BTC in a dovish scenario. Wednesday brings the Producer Price Index for November 2025, also seen near 2.7% year-over-year; a softer PPI would reinforce disinflation narratives and support risk assets, whereas a hotter print could revive inflation concerns.
