The Impact of American Policy on the Crypto Market (February 2026)
The cryptocurrency markets have experienced sharp fluctuations due to fears of a "government shutdown" in the United States, and the scene can be summarized in the following points:
Close Political Ties: The price of Bitcoin was directly affected by the controversy surrounding the government funding package ($1.2 trillion); the price dropped to $72,800 when negotiations stalled, then rebounded by 5% as soon as the project was approved and the shutdown was avoided.
Risk Aversion: The decline was not due to technical issues in the "blockchain" but was part of a collective retreat that included stocks and gold, leading to liquidations worth $30 million in the decentralized finance sector.
Ongoing Negative Pressures: Despite the temporary recovery, Bitcoin faces tough challenges, having lost 17% of its value over the month, with 46% of the circulating supply in a losing position (underwater).
Geopolitical Factors: Nuclear tensions between Iran and the United States contributed to increased selling pressure and the liquidation of positions in derivatives worth $20 million.
Conclusion:
The market is currently driven by "political fears" more than "fundamental factors," amidst expectations from some analysts of the possibility of testing deeper support levels ranging from $44,000 to $54,000.
