Bitcoin Slips to $82,000 Amid Mixed US Economic Data and Inflation Concerns

Bitcoin fell to an intraday low of $82,775.94 on Tuesday as investors weighed conflicting economic signals. While August job openings eased slightly to 7.1 million, suggesting a cooling labor market, the Conference Board's September consumer confidence index dropped to 81.9. Furthermore, consumer expectations for inflation and interest rates rose, complicating the outlook for financial conditions following the Federal Reserve's September rate hike.
