Bitcoin ($BTC )has almost 66,000 on Wednesday after a pullback. The traders are anticipating three of the headline risks, which are US jobs data, US CPI, and a potential US government shutdown.

The jobs report of January followed briefly due to a brief shutdown. The Nonfarm Payrolls, unemployment, and wage growth are all monitored in markets to give clues on the demand of 2026. December contributed an addition of 50,000 jobs and the unemployment stood at 4.4%. It is projected to have created 55,000 jobs and the unemployment will remain 4.4%. Recruiting is confronted by counter winds of tariffs, stricter immigration policies, and rapid adoption of AI.

There are no clear indicators of inflation. The January CPI of China increased 0.2% as compared to 0.4% call, which was lower than 0.8% in December. China's PPI fell 1.4%.
Shutdown risk rises again. Prediction markets bet on a partial shutdown on the Department of Homeland Security beginning at midnight on February the 13th.

Price movement: BTC has moved in the range of $66,972 on 11th February, falling by approximately 2 percent after hitting resistance at approximately 70,000. RSI lies close to 37 and MACD is negative. Bulls need a break above $72,000. Bears will look at $65,000 at first, then at 60000 in case of selling pressure. ‍
