TechFlow news, on February 16, according to The Block, Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Global Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated in a report that Bitcoin has declined for five consecutive weekends, but this trend is expected to reverse this weekend. A slight rise over the weekend could trigger ETF inflows on Monday, pushing prices back toward $100,000 and then rising to $102,500.
He also noted that recent weekends (from 5 p.m. Friday to 5 p.m. Sunday, New York time) have been particularly difficult for Bitcoin, weighed down by negative news. One key event was the DeepSeek news during the weekend of January 25–26, followed by tariff-related news from Canada and Mexico impacting Bitcoin during the weekend of February 1–2. The weekend of February 15–16 "will be different," as adverse events have already occurred, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield dropped below 4.5% this week—an encouraging sign for risk assets like Bitcoin. Lower yields tend to ease pressure on speculative investments, making a rebound more likely.
