La inflación estadounidense se dispara al 3,3%, el mayor salto desde 2021, entonces, ¿por qué Bitcoin apenas se movió?
Burns Brief
La inflación de marzo ha arrojado un resultado dividido con una consecuencia inmediata. El sentimiento del mercado se está volviendo positivo, y los operadores y analistas apuntan a un posible impulso de seguimiento en las próximas sesiones. Esté atento a la reacción de $BTC $ETH: un movimiento decisivo por encima o por debajo de niveles clave confirmará la próxima tendencia.
March inflation has delivered a split result with one immediate consequence. US consumer prices accelerated hard enough to keep the Federal Reserve boxed in, while the softer core reading kept the next month alive as the real test. That tension reaches well beyond macro calendars. Bitcoin has spent much of 2026 trading through rates, liquidity, and the price of money. When inflation jumps because fuel prices rise, the chain reaction runs from the pump to bond yields to risk appetite, and then into crypto. The March data shows headline CPI rose 3.3% year over year, up from 2.4% in February, while monthly CPI came in at 0.9%. Core CPI rose 2.6% year over year and 0.2% month over month. The jump is the biggest single-month increase since March 2021. That leaves two truths sitting side by side. Inflation jumped, and the jump still looks concentrated enough that April and May data will decide whether this was a violent energy shock or the start of something broader. For Bitcoin, that distinction shapes the path of liquidity, the odds of rate relief, and the room for any recovery rally to keep climbing.

US gasoline prices pushed back above $4 a gallon in early April, after the March energy shock that followed the disruption around the Strait of Hormuz. OECD estimates already reflect that wider energy shock, with G20 inflation now projected at 4.0% in 2026, 1.2 percentage points above the group’s previous projection. In plain English, households saw fuel costs rise first, and the CPI report caught up with what drivers already knew. That transmission channel is where crypto enters the picture. Bitcoin can rally on inflation in the long run when the market is focused on fiat dilution, scarce su
