Bitcoin surged to $65,100 on July 15 after a surprise CPI decline, with short liquidations and ETF inflows supporting the move. See key levels and upcoming
Bitcoin jumped to $65,100 on July 15, the highest price since June 22, after U.S. CPI fell 0.4% month‑over‑month—the sharpest decline since April 2020—prompting a three‑week rally in the crypto market【1】.

The June CPI report showed a 0.4% monthly decline and annual inflation of 3.5%, both below analyst expectations, signaling that the Federal Reserve may have room to keep rates steady or consider cuts【1】. The surprise eased risk‑off pressure, and traders who were short Bitcoin were forced to cover, triggering a wave of short liquidations that amplified the price rise【1】. Trading volume spiked alongside the rally, and spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $500.2 million over four sessions from July 14‑17, reversing a prior outflow of $424.7 million【3】.
Bitcoin entered the week near $65,000 with the 10‑year Treasury yield around 4.60%, a level that makes the cryptocurrency sensitive to any yield increase from upcoming Treasury borrowing decisions【3】. The U.S. gross federal debt reached $39.489 trillion on July 15, leaving about $511 billion before the $40 trillion threshold—a figure that reinforces Bitcoin’s fixed‑supply narrative but also raises the “opportunity cost” of holding a zero‑coupon asset when yields rise【3】. Treasury plans to borrow $671 billion in privately held marketable debt for the July‑September quarter, with the final estimate to be revised on August 3【3】. If the borrowing estimate rises, higher yields could pressure Bitcoin below its recent range; if it stays near the current forecast, the $65,000‑$66,000 zone may hold.
The CPI‑driven rally shows how quickly Bitcoin can react to macro surprises, but the upcoming Treasury borrowing data and yield trajectory will test whether the price can sustain its recent highs.
