Bitcoin Nears Inflection Point as U.S. Government Reopens, Inflation Week Ahead
Bitcoin is trading with increased attention from market participants after the U.S. government reopened and previously locked-up funds are expected to enter circulation. That influx of liquidity, combined with tentative bullish momentum on-chain and in derivatives markets, raises the chance of a meaningful move upward if buyers step in decisively. Short-term technicals suggest BTC is near an inflection zone where sentiment could flip faster than usual.
A major wildcard is the upcoming inflation print at the end of the week. Cooler-than-expected inflation would likely reinforce risk-on flows and could amplify a rally, while a hotter print would tighten macro conditions and cap gains. For traders and investors, the combination of renewed fiscal activity and imminent macro data creates a clear risk-reward window — one that could determine whether Bitcoin starts a sustained advance or remains range-bound.
