Bitcoin$BTC Price Falls. Why the Crypto Is Struggling to Break Back Above $70,000.

Bitcoin slides 1.5% below $70,000 ahead of US inflation data

Today

February 13

Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, slipped below the $70,000 level in recent trading as traders positioned for major U.S. economic data releases — including inflation and jobs figures — that could sway global markets this week. �

📊 Market Movement: BTC Under Pressure

In limited trading sessions — particularly across Asian and European markets — Bitcoin failed to sustain gains above $70,000 and continued lower toward the mid-$60,000s. �

This move represents a key technical moment: the $70,000 mark had acted as a psychological support level for months, and dipping below it signals a shift in short-term sentiment among traders and investors. �

📅 Why It Matters: U.S. Economic Releases Loom

Investors are now bracing for crucial U.S. data — including:

📌 Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation figures

📌 Monthly jobs report

📌 Other macroeconomic signals that influence Federal Reserve policy

These releases are expected to shape expectations about interest rates and liquidity, which in turn impact risk-sensitive assets such as Bitcoin. A stronger-than-expected inflation print could strengthen the U.S. dollar and dampen demand for high-risk assets, while softer data might boost risk appetite. �

🧠 Investor Sentiment & Technical Signals

Market analysts point to several reasons Bitcoin is struggling:

Range-bound trading — BTC bouncing between roughly $68,000 and $72,000 without a clear breakout. �

Profit-taking and ETF outflows reducing bullish pressure. �

Rising market volatility with macro indicators signaling “risk-off” conditions. �

Cointelegraph

Despite this pressure, some institutional players — such as crypto exchanges and major holders — are reportedly accumulating Bitcoin at lower levels, indicating support at prices below $70,000. �

📉 Broader Crypto Market Weakness

Bitcoin’s slump has been accompanied by broader sell-offs in the crypto sector, with altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and others also posting declines over recent sessions. �

The Economic Times

This synchronized weakness reflects caution among traders as the macroeconomic outlook remains uncertain ahead of pivotal data releases.

🔍 What’s Next for Bitcoin?

The market will closely watch the upcoming U.S. jobs and inflation reports, which could either:

🔹 Boost BTC — if inflation cools and investors expect rate cuts

🔸 Increase selling pressure — if data shows continued economic strength and higher-for-longer interest rates

Technical analysts also note that if Bitcoin$BTC can reclaim and hold above $70,000, it may attract renewed buying interest. But if the price continues to slide, lower support zones — like $65,000 or even $60,000 — could be tested in the coming weeks. �
