It’s a downward descent once again for the original crypto. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped more than 6% on Tuesday, falling below the $21,000 threshold.
The sell-off came on the heels of a higher-than-expected consumer price index (CPI) report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
CPI came in at 8.3% for August. Although this is lower than July’s CPI of 8.5%, it’s still higher than the expected 8.1%. Core CPI, which doesn’t include food and energy prices, came in 0.6% higher than in July and 6.3% higher year over year.
