If you’ve been following my data edits, you know I called the early February dip a "liquidity reset," not a crash. Today, the charts are proving that the 2016 veteran mindset pays off.
1. The "Cooling" Catalyst ❄️
Yesterday's U.S. CPI data came in at 2.4%, which was lower than expected. In 2026, Bitcoin reacts to inflation data almost instantly. This "disinflation" signal gave the green light for institutional ETFs to stop their outflows and start absorbing the $65k–$68k supply.
2. Altcoins Leading the Charge 🏎️
While
$BTC is the anchor, Solana (
$SOL ) and Aster are outperforming today, up 9% and 10% respectively. This tells us that "Risk-On" sentiment is returning. When altcoins lead the rebound, it usually means the "smart money" is confident that the Bitcoin floor is solid.
3. The $70,000 "Psychological Concrete" 🧱
Stabilizing above $70k is more than just a number; it’s the "new normal" for 2026.
The Data: Exchange inventory is at a 3-year low.The Reality: There simply isn't enough BTC on exchanges to meet the demand if we break $75k. We are looking at a "Compressed Spring" effect.
The "Late Night" Takeaway:
The February shakeout was designed to liquidate over-leveraged longs. Now that the "dead wood" is cleared, the path to the next leg of the cycle looks much cleaner.
Did you buy the $65k dip, or are you waiting for $75k for "confirmation"? Let’s see who has the strongest hands! 💎🙌
