Major US inflation gauge drops on January 14th, 2026 at 1:30 PM UTC—and the crypto market is bracing for impact. The Producer Price Index report could trigger significant price swings across both traditional markets and digital assets, given how closely equities and crypto have traded lately. When inflation data misses expectations, volatility typically spikes as traders recalibrate their positions. The USD's reaction will be particularly telling for bitcoin and altcoins. If PPI comes in hotter than forecast, expect pressure on risk assets. If it cools, we might see relief rallies. Keep your stops ready.
