Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC slips below $81,000 amid inflation fears, ETF outflows

Bitcoin (BTC) extends losses, slipping below $81,000 on Thursday as hotter-than-expected US inflation data weigh on market sentiment. Institutional demand weakens as BTC spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded an outflow of over $261 million on Wednesday. Meanwhile, investors will look to Thursday's US Producer Price Index (PPI) report and Friday's Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Kevin Warsh’s speech for fresh clues on the monetary policy outlook, which could provide the next directional bias for the Crypto King.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP clings to $1.30 support as downside risks intensify

Ripple (XRP) is stuck in a bearish trend, trading near $1.30 on Thursday. The remittance token’s bearish shift reflects the broader cryptocurrency market, which remains under heavy selling amid concerns about accelerating inflation in the United States (US).

A daily close above the key $1.30 demand area could lead to stability and range consolidation, prompting dip buyers to take on more risk. However, an extended correction will likely bring lower psychological levels within reach, including $1.12 and $1.00, respectively.

Ripple (XRP), similarly, is in bearish hands, weighed down by a deteriorating momentum indicator and broader crypto market risk-off sentiment.
