Bitcoin Holds Near $110K as Inflation Data Vacuum Threatens Fed Policy Clarity

COINOTAG News notes that following a softer-than-expected US September CPI, the White House warned that October’s inflation data could be delayed if a government shutdown persists. Officials say funding gaps have halted the Bureau of Labor Statistics fieldwork, risking a late CPI release.

Such a scenario would edge toward a data vacuum for policy makers, complicating the Fed‘s December decision. Treasury yields drifted higher while the Dollar Index exhibited renewed volatility as equities and Bitcoin paused in a cautious phase.

BTC has traded in a tight band around $109,000 to $112,000 over the past 48 hours, with the $112k zone marking a near-term liquidation concentration and initial support forming near $108k.

Analysts caution that an inflation-data void would recalibrate market pricing, obliging more subjective policy judgments and potentially testing the credibility of inflation signaling.
