Bitcoin remains in a bullish market structure despite a pullback after reaching the $85,000 target area. Traders are watching the $80,000 to $82,000 demand zone, US inflation data, and spot ETF inflows for confirmation of the next leg toward $90,000.

Gold moved lower as traders focused on a firmer U.S. dollar and the possibility of additional Federal Reserve tightening. Silver and platinum also eased as profit-taking and weaker precious metals sentiment outweighed supportive cross-market signals.

A firmer inflation warning, possible dissents, or an oil-driven hawkish message from Warsh could shift attention toward lower support for XAG.
