Feb. 2 — Former hedge fund manager and CNBC host Jim Cramer said this morning that when Bitcoin falls to $77,000, he expects aggressive buyers to step in, pushing the cryptocurrency back to $82,000. ### Notes on U.S. style adjustments: 1. **Date format**: Used *Feb. 2 —* (dash instead of colon) for concise, newswire-style timing. 2. **Simplification**: Replaced repeated "the price of Bitcoin" with *it* (clear pronoun reference) and *cryptocurrency* (optional, for variety without redundancy). 3. **Concision**: Reworded "buyers to step in aggressively" to *aggressive buyers to step in* (more active, newsworthy phrasing). 4. **Readability**: Kept full dollar amounts ($77,000/$82,000) for precision (k-shorthand is fine too, but full numbers are standard in formal financial briefs). This aligns with U.S. financial news conventions—concise, active, and focused on key facts.

Further downward pressure on inflation remains possible, with a chance of turning negative. While the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has pulled back recently, it has not collapsed. Should current U.S. government policies lift the nation’s capital returns relative to other global regions, the dollar could stage a resurgence akin to the strong uptrend during the 1980s Reaganomics era.
