Bitcoin has struggled to find momentum over the past week, as attempts at price breakthroughs were quickly thwarted. Although it rebounded after experiencing significant losses earlier, it remains far below its highs from Q4 2025.

This past week featured the following key events:

• Bitcoin’s Recent Performance: After facing a major drop culminating in it dipping to $60,000, Bitcoin managed to recover by $12,000, reaching $72,000 for a brief moment. However, bearish forces soon took over, pushing it back to $66,000 by Wednesday and to $65,000 by Thursday.
• US CPI Release: In a slight silver lining, the US CPI data for January indicated a cooling of inflation, which allowed Bitcoin to bounce back to $67,600.
• Market Movements: While Bitcoin traded around $66,000, some altcoins faced declines, such as XRP, BNB, HYPE, and SOL; conversely, BCH, XMR, and HBAR experienced gains of up to 9.5%.
