Bitcoin was little changed near a three-week high after a softer-than-expected U.S. inflation reading initially lifted sentiment, according to CoinDesk. That support did not translate into a broader rally, as rising tensions between the United States and Iran capped gains across the crypto market. The report framed the move as a balancing act between macroeconomic relief and geopolitical risk, with traders holding prices steady rather than extending Tuesday’s advance.

Bitcoin held near a three-week high as a softer-than-expected U.S. inflation reading from Tuesday offered support, but rising tensions between the United States and Iran kept the crypto market from adding much to those gains.
Geopolitical risk capped the reaction
According to CoinDesk, the softer inflation report gave markets a boost on Tuesday, yet the move lost momentum as tensions in the Middle East, centered on the U.S. and Iran, limited follow-through. Bitcoin remained steady rather than pushing decisively higher.
