Bitcoin Misses the Boat on Inflation Data Lift -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/08/14 15:071107 ET - Equity markets got support this week from some better-than-expected economic data--but that wasn't the case for bitcoin. "Bitcoin did not move and remained range-bound within the band it has occupied for most of the past two months," says Colin Basco of Coinbase Institutional in a note. "When Treasuries offer competitive yields, the desks that normally supply crypto leverage and liquidity have less incentive to deploy capital into crypto cash-and-carry trades," he says, adding that this is why volumes in bitcoin trading are light. Bitcoin is down 1% to $62,708. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
