Bitcoin pulls back from one-month high as oil tops $85 and inflation fears return
Bitcoin retreated from a one-month high after West Texas crude oil prices crossed $85 for the first time since June, reviving concerns about persistent inflation. Rising oil and interest rate expectations weighed on risk assets broadly, sending crypto lower alongside stocks.
Why it matters for the crypto market
