CPI cooled, but Bitcoin still could not break out.

That tells you the problem is not inflation alone. The print came in softer, but it matched expectations, so the market got confirmation, not a real surprise. That is usually not enough to pull in fresh buyers.

BTC is still stuck in the $62,000 to $66,000 range, and sellers keep showing up around $65,000 to $66,000. The latest rejection says spot demand still is not strong enough to push price through resistance, while thinner liquidity leaves both sides exposed to sharp squeezes.

The macro backdrop improved, but not enough to lock in a clear Fed pivot. That keeps yields, the dollar, jobs data, and the next inflation read in focus. Until rate expectations shift more decisively, Bitcoin may keep treating good macro news as a chance to sell strength instead of chase higher.

The map is still simple. A daily close above $66,000 to $67,000 would start to break the range and put $70,000 to $72,000 back in view. If that reclaim fails, $62,000 stays vulnerable, with $60,000 as the deeper support. For now, softer CPI alone is not enough to change the structure.
