The broader crypto market also climbed, with Ethereum, Solana, and XRP prices also surging.<\/p>\n<p>The rally began earlier in the day after the <a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/us-cpi-bitcoin-price-impact-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US Consumer Price Index showed inflation running at a stable pace.<\/a> Prices are still rising, but not accelerating.<\/p>\n<p>That matters for crypto. When inflation stays under control, the Federal Reserve does not need to raise interest rates further. It also avoids the risk of a sudden recession caused by aggressive tightening.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, that creates a safer backdrop for holding risk assets such as Bitcoin. The CPI report removed a major downside risk just as Bitcoin was stabilizing after weeks of ETF-driven selling.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.beincrypto.com\/img\/q6mk5eikz3NabA3twjVGbUSQwHA=\/smart\/b5f4dc83675b4c1090aeac8153961349\" alt><figcaption>Bitcoin 24-Hour Price Chart on January 13, 2026.
