Bitcoin has climbed back toward the $70,000 level after a softer-than-expected U.S. inflation report eased investor concerns and revived risk appetite across global markets. The improved macroeconomic outlook has supported a broader crypto market recovery, lifting total market capitalization by 1.55% over the past 24 hours to $2.4 trillion. Ethereum (ETH) rose above $2,000, while XRP gained nearly 5%, reflecting renewed bullish momentum in digital assets.
A key development driving positive sentiment is Brazil’s proposal to establish a strategic sovereign Bitcoin reserve. The bill outlines a plan for the government to acquire up to one million BTC over the next five years, which would represent a potential $68 billion investment at current prices. If approved, Brazil could become one of the world’s largest Bitcoin holders, potentially surpassing the United States and China.
The proposal also emphasizes a gradual purchase approach intended to limit major market disruption while strengthening Brazil’s long-term financial position.
The bill further includes progressive crypto regulations, including:
The proposal is currently under review by Brazil’s economic development, finance, and justice committees. If passed, it could accelerate global Bitcoin adoption and reinforce BTC’s role as a strategic reserve asset.
In the United States, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $15.20 million in net inflows on February 13. Fidelity’s FBTC led with $11.99 million in net inflows. Spot Ethereum ETFs also saw $10.26 million in net inflows, underscoring continued institutional demand for crypto exposure.
On the charts, Bitcoin is trading near $69,800. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 57, indicating there is room for further upside before reaching overbought conditions. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) stands at 0.07, suggesting steady capital inflows.
If bullish momentum continues, Bitcoin could test resistance at $70,000 and $75,000. A breakout could potentially extend gains toward $80,000. Support remains around $65,000, a level traders are likely to monitor closely.

Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
