Has Bitcoin Found its Bottom?
Recent Economic Data Has Shifted the Tone
Last week, January CPI came in softer than feared, reinforcing the ongoing disinflation trend led by cooling housing and labor components. The labor report showed employment growth lagging labor supply while job openings contracted sharply, strengthening the “jobless recovery” dynamic rather than signaling renewed overheating. Initial and continuing claims remain stable, suggesting recession risk is not building beneath the surface. Markets responded by pushing front-end yields lower and pricing roughly 2-3 interest rate cuts in 2026, Meanwhile, the US dollar recently shifted from bearish to neutral momentum. Both top-down and bottom-up frameworks now point back to a Goldilocks regime, suggesting macro stress is no longer accelerating.
TLDR: The latest inflation and labor data materially reduced macro pressure, weakening the downside scenario for Bitcoin.
Current Macro Is Constructive, Not Explosive
Zooming out, the 12-month backdrop remains constructive for risk assets, though a trending bull market is unlikely. Investor positioning is crowded, which increases the odds of sharp rotations and choppy price action rather than smooth upside. That said, structural forces remain supportive: fiscal dominance continues, productivity tailwinds from AI reinforce secular disinflation, and global liquidity is improving at the margin. As a reminder, the Goldilocks regime historically favor risk-taking when recession probabilities are low and inflation is drifting lower without collapsing growth. In that context, we expect Bitcoin to behave like a high-beta, liquidity-sensitive asset more likely to stabilize and build a base than accelerate into a sustained drawdown.
TLDR: Macro conditions favor stabilization and base-building for Bitcoin, even if the path higher remains choppy.
Markets Are Risk-On, Even as Bitcoin Lags
Our quant signals now confirm a Goldilocks regime with elevated risk-on probability. In addition to the US dollar’s bullish phase transition to neutral, gold remains bullish, and the S&P 500 holds its bullish trend despite trading near the low-end of support. The probability of a sharp correction in risk assets remains low. Bitcoin remains technically bearish on momentum, but price has stabilized around $70K, aligning with the previously identified $60K to $70K on-chain support zone. The divergence is important: macro conditions have improved meaningfully while downside momentum in Bitcoin has stalled, increasing the probability this is early base formation inside a newly supportive regime rather than the start of another impulsive leg lower.
TLDR: With macro stabilizing and risk-on probability elevated, the probability that Bitcoin has established a durable bottom has increased, though confirmation requires a momentum shift.
