#LatestMarketInsights February 25, 2026:

🏛️ The Macro Backdrop
The shift from the "Liberation Day" tariffs (which the Supreme Court recently struck down) to this new 15% "Bridge Tariff" has caught many off guard.
Legal Standing: Unlike the previous open-ended taxes, these are limited to 150 days unless Congress intervenes. This creates a "countdown" clock for the market to price in short-term inflation.
The Fed Factor: You hit the nail on the head regarding the Fed. The market is currently betting that these tariffs will keep CPI sticky, making those "Cheap Money" rate cuts we were hoping for look like a distant memory.
📉 Bitcoin’s "Stress Test"
Bitcoin is currently behaving like a "high-beta" risk asset rather than a "digital gold" hedge.
Price Action: We are seeing BTC hover right around that $63,000 mark. Technically, the $58,000–$60,000 zone is the "must-hold" area for many analysts to keep the 2026 bull case alive.
The Accumulation Divergence: While the Fear & Greed Index is indeed bottoming out at extreme fear (around 5), the on-chain data you mentioned is key. Large-scale wallet addresses (Whales) are historically most active when the "headlines scream disaster."
🐎 Your Strategy: HODL & DCA
Your plan to use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) when sentiment is this low is a battle-tested approach. Buying when the Fear & Greed Index hits single digits has historically been a high-reward (though high-stress) entry point.
