Crypto markets are navigating a volatile “consolidation year”, with major coins currently under pressure due to macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting regulatory landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>\ud83d\udcca Market Summary<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BTC tumbled below the $65,000 support level, sliding to levels not seen since early February. Since then, it has recovered to $66,000 levels. Major altcoins like Solana (SOL) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) have also taken significant hits, with SOL dropping over 8% in recent sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>\ud83d\udcf0 Top News of the Week<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin fell below $65,000 on Monday (Feb 23), and the broader crypto market also moved down as investors became more cautious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most reports linked the drop to a risk-off mood in markets, with macro uncertainty making traders pull back from riskier assets like crypto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, market data and commentary suggested extra selling pressure inside crypto too, including selling from large holders and recent buyers booking losses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means the fall was not only because of headlines, but also because the market was already looking weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big question now is whether Bitcoin can move back above the mid-$60K levels and stay there. Until that happens, traders will likely remain careful and watch whether selling pressure starts to slow before expecting a stronger recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>\u2b50 Coin of the Week: Ripple (XRP)<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

Ripple\u2019s RWA ecosystem continues to show strong progress, even while XRP\u2019s price remains under pressure. There\u2019s a rise in tokenized asset activity on XRPL and growing institutional momentum, a sign that the ecosystem narrative is strengthening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes this setup interesting is the gap between improving fundamentals\/news flow and mixed short-term price action. XRP could be worth exploring this week, as traders watch whether stronger ecosystem traction can eventually translate into price momentum. As always, DYOR.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>\ud83d\udd0e Key Events to Watch<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fed speeches (Mon\u2013Wed)<\/strong> \u2014 tone from officials like Waller, Cook, Goolsbee, Bostic, etc. could quickly shift rate-cut expectations and swing BTC intraday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumer Confidence (Conference Board)<\/strong> \u2014 a stronger print supports a \u201cno-landing\u201d narrative (firmer USD, potential BTC headwind), while a weak print boosts cut odds (potential BTC tailwind).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial Jobless Claims<\/strong> \u2014 a very low number signals labor strength and can delay cuts (pressure BTC), while a jump raises easing expectations (supportive for BTC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PPI inflation<\/strong> \u2014 hotter PPI can revive inflation fears (stronger USD, weaker BTC), while cooler PPI supports the disinflation\/cuts narrative (potential BTC relief rally). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
