February 25 News: According to CoinDesk, as the US dollar weakens and risk appetite in Asian stock markets rebounds, the crypto market has shown a noticeable rally after several weeks. Bitcoin’s price has retaken the around $65,400 level, driving mainstream digital assets to recover in tandem. Market participants are generally focused on whether the current region constitutes a key technical support level and whether the “double bottom” pattern can be confirmed.
On the macro level, the weakening US dollar index and the strengthening of Asian stock markets are resonating, boosting the appeal of risk assets. The MSCI Asia index rose to a new high for the period, with South Korea and Taiwan stock markets performing strongly, coupled with gains in AI-related stocks, which helped improve market sentiment. After US President Trump’s State of the Union address, the Bloomberg US dollar spot index slightly declined, indirectly providing upward momentum for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
FxPro Chief Market Analyst Alex Kuptsikevich pointed out that Bitcoin’s current movement is testing a potential double bottom structure. If the price can hold above the February 5 low, the technical pattern may be confirmed, with an estimated 10% rebound potential; however, if support is broken, a deeper correction could be triggered, with downside risk possibly expanding to 25%. This critical zone is seen as a short-term trend dividing line.
Driven by Bitcoin’s rebound, major tokens like Ethereum, Solana, and XRP also rose in tandem, indicating a phased return of funds to risk assets. However, analysts remain cautious about market sentiment. Data shows that Bitcoin has retraced nearly 50% from its all-time high, and market confidence has not fully recovered. Additional capital inflows and clear catalysts are still lacking.
It is noteworthy that although a weaker dollar generally favors Bitcoin’s movement, the correlation between the two has fluctuated during this cycle, increasing market uncertainty. Some institutional views suggest that the current rebound is more of a technical correction rather than a trend reversal. Kuptsikevich further warned that if macroeconomic conditions tighten again or risk appetite cools, the market could face a “second bottom,” and even larger downward pressure cannot be ruled out.
Under the intertwined influence of macro policies, US dollar liquidity, and technical structures, Bitcoin’s future trajectory will heavily depend on whether key support levels can hold. Short-term volatility may continue to remain high.

Bitcoin may decline for the fifth consecutive month. What should be the next focus?
Written by: Blockchain Knight
Bitcoin is approaching a concerning milestone; if it declines in February, it could mark the fifth consecutive month of decline.
Moreover, this situation no longer seems like a typical cryptocurrency downturn but rather a re-pricing driven by macroeconomic factors.
This five-month decline, following the ETF era, will be noteworthy, and it will also be the longest monthly downturn for Bitcoin since the 2018 bear market, when Bitcoin declined for six consecutive months.
Bitcoin's price fell below $63,000 this month, dropping nearly 20%, the largest monthly decline since June 2022.
However, the focus is not solely on the price decline itself.
A bigger shift is occurring in Bitcoin's pricing mechanism, where ETF capital flows, interest rate expectations, and other macroeconomic factors are influencing its valuation.

Peter Schiff warns that Trump's State of the Union address could trigger a "sell-off," increasing the risk of a short-term pullback after Bitcoin's rally.
On February 25th, just before Trump delivered the State of the Union address, Bitcoin's price briefly surged from around $64,000 to nearly $66,000, sparking market discussions about policy expectations driving the rally. Although the short-term rebound boosted some crypto market sentiment, well-known gold advocate Peter Schiff expressed clear skepticism about this rally, believing it is more likely driven by speculative funds ahead of policy speeches rather than genuine demand improvement.
Peter Schiff posted on social media that traders might be betting on Trump mentioning Bitcoin in the State of the Union, thus buying in advance to create upward momentum. He emphasized that if the speech does not mention cryptocurrencies, market sentiment could decline; even if it does, a "profit-taking" sell-off could still occur. Such expectation-driven volatility is common in macro event cycles, often accompanied by high fluctuations and short-term capital battles.
