#CryptoMarketPullback U.S. Government Shutdown Ends, Markets Stay Cautious

On February 3, 2026, the U.S. government avoided a deeper crisis after the House narrowly approved a $1.2 trillion funding bill. The vote was extremely close, showing how divided Congress still is. While most government departments are funded until September 30, Homeland Security received only a short two-week extension, keeping political uncertainty alive.
President Donald Trump quickly signed the bill, reopening key federal agencies. However, the temporary nature of the deal has kept financial and crypto markets under pressure. Investors remain cautious as upcoming debates on immigration and spending could trigger fresh volatility.
For crypto traders, this kind of political uncertainty often leads to short-term pullbacks, but it can also create buying opportunities if volatility increases.
