On February 12, Bitcoin is trading above $67,000 in a market that remains volatile and still points to Extreme Fear. The crypto market cap is over $2.29 trillion, up by over 0.4% in the past 24 hours.
Important economic data, including the CPI report and Coinbase earnings, is expected in the US and could affect BTC and crypto's trajectory.
CPI data
The Wall Street Journal pointed out that we can expect the inflation and home sales data in the US this week.
According to the latest reports, the CPI data will be released on February 13, following a delay due to the recent partial government shutdown, the first one this year.
The CPI YoY for December 2025 was 2.7%, the same as in November, and expectations point to 2.7% YoY for January 2026, as well.
Meanwhile, probabilities for a new interest rate cut in the US are at 8%, CME Group shows. The next FOMC meeting will take place on March 18.
The Wall Street Journal also highlighted the risks of another partial U.S. government shutdown if Congress fails to reach a deal on immigration enforcement.
Coinbase earnings report
The publication also mentioned the upcoming Coinbase earnings report, which is also expected to be released today.
Meanwhile, the Coinbase stock is down by more than 5% today, trading at $153,20. The COIN share is down by more than 35% YTD.
On February 11, Coinbase announced Agentic Wallets, the platform's first-ever wallet infrastructure built specifically for autonomous agents.
Bitcoin price trajectory
Ahead of economic data in the US, Bitcoin is trading in the green, and at the moment of writing this article, the digital asset is trading above $67,000, up by almost 1% in the past 24 hours.
On February 11, BTC ETFs recorded a day of outflow above $276 million, following three consecutive inflow days, according to data from SoSoValue.
Binance completed $1 billion BTC SAFU fund
However, on the bright side, Binance announced that it has completed the BTC purchases for its SAFU fund, totalling over $1 billion.
The exchange now holds 15,000 BTC in the SAFU fund as it reinforces belief in BTC as the core asset of the crypto ecosystem.
Despite the latest market volatilty, expectations for BTC and crypto in 2026 remain optimistic, especially if ETF flows recover and liquidations decline.
BTC and crypto are still seeing growing adoption globally, despite the FUD that has been plaguing the markets.
