The BTC is rising on Friday – the asset is mostly trading at $19,605.

Yesterday, the market was very nervous and is still trying to reach stability. At the same time, the BTC dropped to $18,183 amid exchange sales but managed to recover pretty fast.

As we can see, the support area between $18,000-$19,000 was able to survive another bearish attack.

The negative vibe in the market was caused by the September CPI data from the US, which showed 8.2% y/y after being 8.3% y/y in August. However, on MoM, the indicator increased to 0.4%. No matter what, inflation remains high, and it allows the US FOMC to continue tightening its monetary policy. Capital markets declined and the crypto market followed. And when investors reversed their positions, the local trend in digital assets also reversed.

So far, there is nothing new for the BTC as it continues following the US stock market.
