This week was defined by two things: structural weakness on higher timeframes and a sharp geopolitical-driven short squeeze.
Bitcoin has increased the probability of attempting a short-term move above the $70,000 level. Repeated failures to break decisively below the recent $65,000 low suggest that downside momentum is temporarily losing strength.
Bitcoin began to stabilize this week after sentiment reached deeply pessimistic levels. Traders had largely given up on the idea of a near-term recovery, and historically, such extreme sentiment readings often precede relief rallies.
This past week will be remembered as one of the more intense trading periods of the cycle. Bitcoin has so far managed to hold above the $67,000 level, a zone that bulls needed to defend into the weekly close. As long as this area holds, short-term pressure eases and the market remains in a fragile recovery phase.
Bitcoin enters February in fragile condition after failing decisively at a major long-term reference level. The rejection there has shifted the broader roadmap lower, with price now gravitating toward the next meaningful yearly support zone.
