Bitcoin's Rally to $73,000 Masked by Falling Trading Volume and Rising Inflation
Centralized exchange trading volume fell 48% from its October 2025 peak to $4.3 trillion in March, coinciding with a price rise to $73,085. Gasoline prices rose 21.2% in March, the largest monthly increase since the 1967. Headline CPI climbed to 3.3% year over year, up from 2.4% in February. These figures signal that inflation risks persist. The Federal Reserve is pressured to keep rates elevated. This creates pressure on risk assets including Bitcoin.
