Bitcoin’s BIP 110 episode has become a live demonstration of permissionless market choice, with the forked chain stalling after two blocks while the original network continued without disruption. BTC remains near $65,000 as traders watch consolidation signals and await US inflation data that could shape the next move.

EUR/USD has recovered despite weak eurozone growth signals, supported by widening expectations that the ECB may stay more hawkish than the Federal Reserve. The next major test is whether higher European gas prices reinforce inflation fears or revive recession concerns.

EUR/USD traded flat near 1.1423 as traders weighed divided Federal Reserve minutes and awaited European Central Bank meeting details. Technical traders are watching whether a bearish flag setup can push the pair toward the year-to-date low at 1.1323 or whether resistance at 1.1473 gives way.
