Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it presented some textbook moves to accompany the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) print for September.

In line with previous CPI events, Bitcoin saw a fakeout to the upside, which vanished in minutes, leading to protracted downside, which only bottomed at $18,183 on Bitstamp.
A rebound took the largest cryptocurrency to $18,800, having seen its lowest since Sept. 22.
