What happened on November 10, 2021

It started with an inflation report. US consumer prices were up 6.2% year over year, the biggest jump since 1990.

A lot of people started looking at crypto as a place to park their money. By the afternoon, BTC touched about $69,000. The exact figure depends on the data source: CoinMarketCap shows $68,789.

The next ATH could be closer than you think. Or further away than anyone expects.
