The four-day partial government shutdown is officially over. President Trump signed the $1.2 trillion funding package on February 3, 2026, putting federal employees back to work today. But for crypto traders, the "all-clear" signal hasn't arrived yet.
The Impact on Markets:
Bitcoin ($BTC): Currently testing the $73,000 – $75,000 range. While the reopening is a relief, BTC has erased most of its gains from the November rally.
The "DHS Fuse": Keep an eye on February 13. The Department of Homeland Security is only funded for 10 more days. If a deal isn't reached, expect another "Risk-Off" wave.
Data Blackout: The shutdown delayed key jobs reports. Expect high volatility as the "missing data" finally hits the tape this week.
Traders’ Playbook:
Watch the $73,000 support level. If $BTC holds, the resolution of the shutdown could provide the liquidity needed for a mid-February bounce.
