BlockBeats news, February 16, the latest foreign exchange and interest rate sentiment survey from Bank of America shows that in February, dollar positioning turned to the most negative in over 14 years. Dollar short positions have now reached the highest level since January 2012 (the earliest available data point).Fund managers' dollar exposure has fallen below last April's low. Concerns over Federal Reserve independence have eased after President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh for Fed chair, but this has failed to boost dollar demand or improve views on U.S. assets.Respondents see further deterioration in the U.S. labor market as the main downside risk for the dollar.

Deep Tide TechFlow news, February 15, according to Jinshi reports, "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos wrote that key indicators of the U.S. economy are pointing in the same positive direction, inflation is declining, the labor market remains strong, and economic growth is solid. This is not the final conclusion, but it is the closest the U.S. economy has ever come to achieving a soft landing (i.e., curbing inflation while avoiding a recession). Just four years ago, many economists still considered this impossible. Now, the scenario of the U.S. economy bringing inflation back to the Fed's 2% target without falling into a recession has become credible again. However, even if an oxygen mask is not needed, it is still too early to unfasten the seatbelt. The Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the core PCE annual rate, is currently near 3%, and multiple forecasters expect little significant progress on inflation this year as tariff-related price increases spread to more areas.

PANews reported on February 15th that, according to an analytical model released by CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, an indicator built on Bitcoin's four-year simple moving average (SMA) has entered bear market territory. This indicator measures Bitcoin's valuation using standard deviation and SMA multiples: a higher multiple indicates a deeper overbought condition, while the closer the price is to the four-year SMA, the lower the valuation. Bitcoin's current price has fallen back into the green zone and is approaching its four-year SMA level, which is currently around $57,500. Historically, this level has often marked the final stage of each bear market, with BTC prices tending to consolidate in this area for several months. Darkfost states that it generally does not favor moving average-based models but believes the indicator is worth paying attention to.
