According to Brad Freeman (@StockMarketNerd), global market participants are expected to focus on core inflation readings rather than reacting strongly to a potential oil price shock. Freeman emphasizes that the current energy price spike is fundamentally different and less structural than the inflation observed between 2021 and 2023 (source: Twitter, June 22, 2025). For crypto traders, this indicates that short-term oil-induced volatility is unlikely to drive sustained shifts in monetary policy or risk sentiment, potentially reducing the immediate impact on major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH.

According to Miles Deutscher, the latest CPI core inflation data came in at 3.0%, slightly above the expected 2.9%, indicating a modest increase in inflation. This 'negative' report resulted in Bitcoin ($BTC) experiencing a downward spike, reflecting market sensitivity to inflation metrics.
