Odaily According to news, possibly boosted by the lower-than-expected US January Consumer Price Index (CPI), Bitcoin (BTC) saw a short-term increase of approximately 4%, with BTC/USD reaching $68,855 on Bitstamp at one point.
Official data shows that the January core CPI was 2.5%, in line with expectations, while the overall CPI was 2.4%, lower than the market expectation of 2.5%. Trading analysts point out that this is the lowest level for core CPI in years, leading to a renewed market expectation for further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. However, CME FedWatch data indicates that the probability of a 0.25% rate cut at the March meeting remains below 10%.
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin still faces resistance in the $68,000-$69,000 range, an area that holds the 2021 all-time high and the 200-week EMA. Analysts believe that BTC has the potential to form a higher low here. Although it remains vulnerable in the short term, market momentum may gradually recover.

Odaily News Coinbase's stock price rebounded the day after the release of its weak quarterly earnings report. Some bottom-fishing capital believes that the market had already fully priced in the negative factors, and the crypto market may be approaching a stage bottom. Market analysis suggests that against a backdrop of lowered expectations and a defensive positioning trend, some investors chose to buy on dips, driving a short-term stabilization and recovery in the stock price. According to Coinbase's previous earnings report, the company experienced weak trading volume and pressure on trading revenue, highlighting the high sensitivity of its performance to digital asset price volatility and retail trading activity. Previously, influenced by the overall weakening sentiment in the crypto market, Coinbase's stock price had fallen for several consecutive weeks and had experienced a significant correction before the earnings release.

Odaily News The U.S. DeFi organization DeFi Education Fund (DEF) has recommended that the FCA adopt a functional "control" definition when formulating new regulations for crypto assets. This would limit regulatory responsibility to entities that have unilateral control over user funds or transactions, rather than those merely participating in the development or contribution to decentralized protocols. DEF emphasized that regulation should focus on specific operational capabilities, such as initiating or blocking transactions, modifying protocol parameters, or excluding users. Otherwise, software developers could be incorrectly subjected to intermediary-type obligations. DEF also pointed out that applying prudential, reporting, and access requirements designed for centralized trading platforms to non-custodial automated protocols is inappropriate. It further stated that decentralized protocols have advantages in terms of transparency and combating illicit financial activities. This recommendation responds to the UK Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) consultation on how to incorporate DeFi into its digital asset framework. DEF supports the principle of control being central but stresses the need to link it to actual operational power. (CoinDesk)

Odaily News glassnode posted analysis data on the X platform, indicating that while Bitcoin has been consolidating recently within the range of $65,000 to $73,000, the options market is showing defensive characteristics. Bitcoin options open interest (OI) has recovered from 255,000 BTC on December 26 to 452,000 BTC, approaching the high levels seen at the end of Q4 2025. The 1-month and 3-month implied volatility has increased by approximately 10 volatility points, suggesting traders anticipate potentially larger price movements in the future. The put skew has risen from 6% to 18% within a month, highlighting the market's willingness to pay for downside protection.

Increased call activity over the past two days has brought the put/call ratio back down to 0.7, and short-term positions are stabilizing. Nonetheless, short-term implied volatility remains below realized volatility.
