Bitcoin recovered toward the mid $64,000 area after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran jolted weekend trading during thin liquidity.

According to the Akiba Cycle Model v2, a halving-based framework built on four past Bitcoin cycles, the next cycle low is projected near $35,000 in December 2026 after a 72.5% decline from a $126,219 peak. The model uses a 50,000-run Monte Carlo engine with cross-validation and flags the recovery leg as the widest source of uncertainty, leaving the next-halving price as a broad range.

U.S. margin balances reached $1.279 trillion in Jan‑2026, a $53.445 billion increase from Dec‑2025, underscoring the leverage behind Bitcoin's advance.

Block shares rose more than 20% in premarket trading after CEO Jack Dorsey told employees the company will eliminate over 4,000 roles and reorganize around an AI-era operating model. The company's 8-K outlines a reduction of more than 40% to just under 6,000 employees from 10,205 as of Dec. 31, 2025, with $450 million to $500 million in charges and completion by the end of Q2 FY2026.

Over the past three weeks, Bitcoin has retreated from $70,524 to around $64,074, while the last 24 hours saw price oscillate between roughly $62,800 and $66,200 and then reclaim the $65,000 area. At the same time, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $257.7 million net inflow on Tuesday, sharply above their long‑run daily average, even as Deribit’s 7‑day put‑call skew slid from -6% to -17% as traders aggressively bid for downside protection. If bulls can hold $65,000 and keep ETF flows positive, the market may be attempting to build a local bottom, though elevated hedging and tariff‑driven macro uncertainty still threaten a slide toward lower support levels near $61,000 and $56,048.

Within a day, Trump cited Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, which can support tariffs of up to 15% for as long as 150 days, leaving traders focused on the policy's built-in timer and its macro impact. The debate over inflation, growth, yields, and dollar strength is keeping Bitcoin range-bound while the legal and economic implications of more than $133 billion in collected tariffs remain unresolved.
