Hey traders! As we head into the President’s Day (Feb 16) holiday, the U.S. markets are closed, but Bitcoin never sleeps. Here is why you should keep a close eye on the charts this week:
1. Low Liquidity Alert! 📉
With U.S. traditional markets closed this Monday, there is no inflow from Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Low liquidity often leads to higher volatility and "fakeouts." Watch out for sudden price swings!
2. PCE Data & FOMC Minutes (The Market Movers) 📊
The big focus this week is the PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures)—the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge—and the FOMC Minutes.
Bullish Scenario: If inflation shows signs of cooling down, hopes for a rate cut will rise, pushing liquidity back into risky assets like BTC.
Bearish Scenario: If inflation stays high, the Fed might stay "hawkish" (keep rates high), which could pressure Bitcoin to test lower support levels.
3. Policy & Geopolitics 🏛️
Long-term sentiment remains positive with discussions around the GENIUS Act and a potential U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. However, short-term volatility remains high due to ongoing trade and tariff uncertainties.
