Bitcoin is showing its classic "volatility dance" this week as the U.S. macro landscape delivers a mixed bag of signals. Between a surprisingly hot labor market and cooling inflation, the big question for every trader is: What does the Fed do next?
​Here is your breakdown of the three massive data points from last week that are currently driving the BTC price action.
The NFP "Blowout": Jobs Market Refuses to Cool
The Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report for January (released Feb 11) stunned the markets. While analysts expected a modest +70K, the actual figure came in at 130,000 jobs.​The Impact: Initially, this was bearish for BTC. Why? A resilient labor market gives the Federal Reserve more "cushion" to keep interest rates higher for longer. Higher rates usually strengthen the Dollar and put pressure on "risk-on" assets like Bitcoin.The Unemployment Rate edged down to 4.3% (beating the 4.4% forecast).
Unemployment Rate: The 4.3% Surprise
The Unemployment Rate edged down to 4.3% (beating the 4.4% forecast).
​The Context: This is the lowest level since last July. While good for the economy, it complicates the "Fed Pivot" narrative. Traders who were hoping for aggressive rate cuts in March had to temper their expectations, leading to some sideways "chop" in the $66k–$67k range.
CPI: The Silver Lining for Bulls 📈
Friday brought the much-needed "soft landing" data. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed annual inflation slowing to 2.4%—undershooting the 2.5% forecast.
​The Reaction: This is the bullish catalyst. Gasoline and energy prices saw significant declines, suggesting that despite a strong job market, the actual "heat" in prices is fading. Bitcoin reacted positively to this, attempting to reclaim the $68,000 level as the market priced back in the possibility of a policy easing later this year.
Where is BTC Heading?
​Currently, Bitcoin is trapped in a tug-of-war. The strong labor market acts as a "ceiling" on immediate price surges, while the cooling inflation acts as a "floor."
​If BTC can decisively break and hold above the $68,400 resistance, the next stop could be a test of $72k. However, if the Dollar continues to rally on the back of the jobs data, expect a retest of the $64,500 support zone.

The latest ADP report surprised Wall Street: the US private sector added 42,000 jobs in October, marking the first rebound after months of slowdown. On paper, that’s good news — people working, wages flowing, the economy staying strong. But in the financial world, “good” isn’t always good. Why? Because strong jobs mean the Federal Reserve might delay interest rate cuts, and that’s exactly what risk markets — like crypto — don’t want to hear
Behind the headline, the story isn’t perfect. Most of the job growth came from healthcare and construction, while high-tech and manufacturing remain weak. That’s not broad-based recovery — it’s a patchwork. Some economists even warn this “mini rebound” could just be temporary noise before another slowdown
Markets instantly reacted: the US dollar strengthened, Treasury yields rose, and crypto prices cooled slightly as traders priced out a near-term Fed pivot. In short — if jobs stay too strong, the money printer stays off.
But here’s the twist: long-term, resilience in employment keeps consumer demand alive, and that could help fuel the next bull cycle once inflation fully fades. So while short-term traders might feel pain, long-term holders should watch for the bigger economic balance forming beneath the surface.
💡 Takeaway: The ADP jobs surge is both a warning and a whisper — the Fed may stay cautious, but the economy still breathes. For crypto investors, that means volatility, not disaster. Use dips wisely.

For over a decade, Bitcoin’s legendary 4‑year halving cycle—cutting block rewards roughly every 210,000 blocks—has fueled predictable price surges. But with the 2024 halving playing out much faster than prior events, many are now asking: Has the cycle lost its power?

🔍 What Experts Are Saying
Matt Hougan (Bitwise CIO): "The Four‑Year Cycle Is Dead"
Hougan argues that halving events matter less over time as:
Cycle erosion: Each halving reduces new BTC supply, but its impact diminishes as markets grow larger.Macro tailwinds: Lower interest rates and regulatory clarity—especially post‑GENIUS Act—favor Bitcoin demand over traditional assets.Institutional adoption: Inflows via spot Bitcoin ETFs and pension funds now shape long‑term trends, not short‑term halving shocks MitradeBinance+8Cointelegraph+8TradingView+8Wall Street Journal+6FXStreet+6AInvest+6.
Hougan forecasts a steady “up year” in 2026, calling it a sustained boom rather than a classic “super‑cycle” Cointelegraph.
Ki Young Ju (CryptoQuant CEO): Institutional Accumulation Upsets Cycle
Ju concurs that the old cycle is outdated, noting on‑chain trends show sales shifting from old whales to new institutional whales, not retail, weakening traditional price triggers Cointelegraph+1CoinCentral+1.
Traditionalists (e.g., Rekt Capital): The Old Timing Might Still Work
Some analysts insist Bitcoin could peak ~550 days post‑halving—around October 2025—consistent with the historical 18‑month pattern from 2020, leaving the debate open.
🚨 Emerging Risk: Big Companies Holding Lots of Bitcoin
Companies like MicroStrategy now own a huge amount of Bitcoin—around 447,000 BTC, which is about 3% of all the Bitcoin in circulation. They bought most of it using borrowed money or by selling company shares.
Experts at VanEck are warning: If Bitcoin’s price drops too much, these companies could be in trouble. They might be forced to sell some of their Bitcoin quickly to cover their debts. This kind of sudden selling could cause big market crashes, possibly even worse than past events like the Mt. Gox collapse or the 3AC meltdown.
📊 What This All Means
