Market Moves by Omkar Godbole  Bitcoin Bounces From Two-Week Low as China Inflation Surges, El Salvador Passes Currency Law Bitcoin is in recovery mode on Wednesday amid mounting inflation concerns and hopes for mass adoption after El Salvador's parliament approved the cryptocurrency as legal tender. The cryptocurrency was changing hands near $34,000 at press time, having picked up from a bid near $31,000 late Tuesday. That was the lowest level since May 23, according to CoinDesk 20 data. Data released by China early today showed the producer price index (PPI), also known as factory-gate inflation, rose 9% last month, the biggest year-on-year increase since September 2008. China's PPI typically adds to inflationary pressures worldwide because the country is a major buyer and supplier globally.
That's bullish for bitcoin, which is widely considered an inflation hedge because the pace of expansion of its supply is reduced by half every four years.

Monetary tightening tends to dilute the appeal of the store of value assets like bitcoin and gold.
China is already sucking out liquidity from the system, as noted by Caixin Global. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve's easy monetary policy has come under fire in recent weeks, with many experts arguing that it is not appropriate amid concerns about rising inflation.
Taper talk may escalate if the U.S. consumer price index, scheduled for release on Thursday, exceeds expectations. These concerns are here to stay, as Messari's Mira Christanto recently noted, and may keep the market from cheering other positive developments like El Salvador's bitcoin adoption.
El Salvador's parliament approved bitcoin as legal tender early Wednesday, mandating all businesses to accept bitcoin for goods and services. The move has raised hopes for widespread sovereign adoption.
Other nations, however, may choose to see how things pan out in the Latin American country before following its lead.

Technician's Take by Damanick Dantes, CMT Bitcoin Holds Short-Term Support; Faces Resistance At $36K Bitcoin (BTC) held support at $31,000 on Tuesday and now faces resistance near $36,000. The cryptocurrency was trading around $34,500 at press time.
The sell-off over the past week is now stabilizing as buyers respond to oversold conditions. However, upside appears limited as bitcoin consolidates within a tight trading range.
