Bitcoin managed to surpass $43,500 during the opening of Wall Street on February 5th, in response to the uncertainty in Chinese markets affecting U.S. markets.
Will there be a recession in China?
According to TradingView data, Bitcoin reached $43,515 on Bitstamp, marking a record high for Bitcoin in February.
The 8% single-day drop in China's CSI 1000 index has prompted officials to increase efforts to control short selling.
Trading source The Kobeissi Letter evaluated whether China is in a recession due to a disconnect between large and small-scale stocks.
X stated, "The Chinese market has lost $7 trillion in value over the past three years."

The $25,000 region is gaining new liquidity.
Keith Alan, the founder of Material Indicators, issued a warning regarding the BTC price as he analyzed the Order Book.
Alan noted that Bitcoin still has liquidity just below the spot price and suggested that a return to $42,000 could easily happen.
Highlighting an increase in liquidity around $25,000, Alan stated, "This doesn't indicate an immediate drop to that level, but it shows significant sensitivity to it."
In a video he shared, Alan said, "Is this placed here for a good reason or just as a potential wick? Time will tell. However, I'll be monitoring whether more liquidity flows into this range."
