> October CPI rose 0.4% month over month. The implied probability of a December Fed rate increase climbed to 85% from 77%.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to an intraday low of $72,787 after the U.S. October inflation report, while crypto liquidations topped $632 million over the prior 24-hour period.

At 11:35 a.m. ET (16:35 UTC) Tuesday, the reported liquidation total for the prior 24 hours exceeded $632 million. More than $511 million involved long positions, trades that profit when prices rise. The liquidation tally covered the broader crypto market, while Bitcoin's stated price marked a separate intraday low.

U.S. October CPI increased 0.4% month over month, exceeding market expectations. After the release, the implied probability of a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate increase in December climbed to 85%, up from 77% beforehand. The probability therefore rose eight percentage points between the pre-release and post-release readings.

The figures place Bitcoin's price low, crypto-wide liquidations and a higher rate-hike probability in the same post-CPI market update. The $72,787 level is an intraday reading, while the $632 million liquidation total spans the full preceding 24 hours.
