📊 During the week of 09/02–15/02/2026, Bitcoin entered a clear range between $72,000 and $67,700. Instead of trending, the market moved sideways 🔄, showing hesitation and lack of strong direction. Buyers were not strong enough to push above $72,000, and sellers failed to break below $67,700.
😨 Fear & Greed remains at 9 (Extreme Fear), keeping the market in a risk-off mood. Confidence is still low, and traders remain cautious.
📉 Inflation data was released during the week. CPI came at 0.2% (below the 0.3% forecast) and Core CPI came at 0.3% (in line with expectations). This was slightly positive and shows inflation is slowly cooling. Normally, this supports risk assets like $BTC 🟠.
However, despite the positive inflation data, the market remains defensive. The current structure shows consolidation inside a range, and Bitcoin is waiting for a stronger catalyst to decide the next move.
