The probability sits just under half, reflecting a market that sees the $90,000 barrier as a distinct possibility rather than a certainty. This view comes even as the current Bitcoin price briefly surpassed the $85,000 level following US headline PCE inflation data that rose 3.4% year over year, missing the 3.7% forecast. [^3]

High interest rate outlooks and a stronger dollar have weighed on other assets, with gold prices falling slightly as investors balanced lower Fed rate hike expectations against Treasury yields.
