Summary

PANews on August 12 reported that Matrixport analyst Markus Thielen observed Bitcoin breaking out of a triangle consolidation range and holding above $116,817. Despite strong performance in the Asian session, selling was noted in European and US markets. The report highlighted that seasonal weakness may slow price gains and a higher-than-expected CPI could adjust market expectations for two Fed rate cuts, while continued inflows support long-term investor rewards.
