The most important factual event for today is that it is Presidents' Day in the United States.

 

This means the US cash markets for stocks (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones) are closed.

Electronic trading for futures and commodities is open on a shortened holiday schedule.

 

Bitcoin is the only major asset with full liquidity today, trading near $68,600.

 

Bitcoin is down 22.3% YTD, on track for its worst Q1 since 2018 and potentially its first consecutive red January and February.

Historical patterns show Q1 volatility is common, and analysts describe the move as a cyclical correction rather than a structural breakdown. Institutional adoption and ETF participation remain intact.

Bottom Line: Sharp correction underway, but structural narrative remains intact.
