The user wants me to run a news briefing as part of a cron job. Let me follow the protocol:

1. First, I need to read memory to extract existing URLs
2. Then search broadly across categories
3. Filter and curate (no more than 2 items on same topic)
4. Format the briefing
5. Send via message tool
6. Append URLs to memory

Let me start by reading the memory to see what URLs have already been reported.

Brave Search is rate limiting. I got a few results but most failed. Let me try using SearXNG (the local skill) to get more results. Let me read the skill first and then use it.

Brave Search hit rate limits. Let me use SearXNG fallback:


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Now I can use SearXNG to get the remaining news. Let me run multiple searches via SearXNG.

exec

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "cybersecurity malware news February 2026" 5 day

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI Claude Anthropic AI model news" 5 day

SearXNG isn't returning results either. Let me try without the "day" freshness filter - maybe the issue is the date format or something. Let me try simpler queries without the freshness filter.

BERLIN, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Russia is suffering "crazy losses" in Ukraine, tallying around 65,000 soldiers over the last two months, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference.
Separately, he told a media roundtable that the NATO alliance was strong enough that Russia would not currently try to attack it.

Ukraine war briefing: conflict could end if Russia economically or militarily ‘exhausted’, says Germany’s Merz

- German chancellor [Friedrich Merz](https://www.theguardian.com/world/friedrich-merz) has told the Munich Security Council Russia’s war against Ukraine will “only end when Russia is at least economically, potentially militarily, exhausted”. The German chancellor [described the security gathering](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/13/us-not-powerful-enough-to-go-it-alone-merz-tells-munich-conference) as a seismograph for the state of US-European relations. Merz said the Ukraine war “had forced Europe to return from a vacation from world history”.

- With Russia’s war against Ukraine entering its fifth year, the conflict was high on the agenda at the security conference. French president Emmanuel Macron said any peace settlement must protect Ukraine, preserve European security and disincentivize Russia from attempting another invasion, while not providing the rest of the world with a “calamitous example to follow”. He said it was a “huge strategic mistake” to urge Ukraine to accept it was defeated. “One day Russians will have to reckon with the enormity of the crime committed in their name, with the futility of the pretexts and the devastating, longer term effects on their country, but until that time comes, we will not lower the guard.”

- Several top European leaders were scheduled to meet at the conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday for talks about the conflict, the French presidency said. Macron said any peace deal between Ukraine and Russia had to involve Europe. “I want to be very clear: you can negotiate without the Europeans, if you prefer, but it will not bring a peace at the table.” A US official said secretary of state Marco Rubio was not attending those talks because of a packed schedule, but was “engaging on Russia-Ukraine in many of his meetings” in Munich. Ukraine’s foreign minister Andriy Sybiga said he discussed ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine with China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, whose country is a close partner of Moscow. Wang told Sybiga Beijing was “willing to provide Ukraine with new humanitarian aid”, according to a Chinese foreign ministry readout.

- Meanwhile, diplomatic negotiations on Ukraine will take place in Geneva on Tuesday, a source briefed on the matter told Reuters. A US delegation including envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will participate in trilateral talks with representatives from Russia and Ukraine in the afternoon, the source said.

- Ukraine could hold elections if there was a two to three month ceasefire with Russia, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference Zelenskyy said he would be happy, in principle, to hold a poll “as quick as possible,” but said the war had to stop first, and Ukraine had to be given security guarantees. “If president Trump … pushes Putin [into a] ceasefire [that will last for] two, three months, we will do elections.” Zelenskyy also said Trump wanted to agree on a peace deal “all at once,” because he “like things in one big package,” like he did with his “one, big, beautiful bill”. But the Ukrainian president said the sequence of getting things agreed was important.

- Zelenskyy said Russia’s territorial demands were about Moscow’s ambitions to get [Ukraine](https://www.theguardian.com/world/ukraine), bit by bit, a point he has emphasised to the US. He said compromises had already been made by Ukraine. “We made a lot of compromises. Putin and his friends, they are not in prison. This is the biggest compromise that the world made already.” He said Ukraine “can’t forget” how many people were killed during the war, but he said Kyiv was ready to end it at any time.

- Britain has said it would send another £540m worth of weapons to [Ukraine](https://www.theguardian.com/world/ukraine), including spending £150m on buying US made interceptors, using a Nato-run funding scheme for the first time. The latest commitment came before a meeting of the 50 country [Ukraine](https://www.theguardian.com/world/ukraine) Contact Group, which coordinates international weapons supplies to Kyiv, immediately after the Nato defence ministers summit. Britain has not previously used Nato’s Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (Purl) before. It was devised last year as a mechanism for European countries to buy US weapons for Ukraine, after the US said it would no longer donate them. The remaining £390m will be spent on supplying 1,000 Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMMs), which are manufactured in Belfast, to urgently bolster Ukraine’s air defences, which are struggling against nightly onslaughts of Russian attacks.

- A Ukrainian missile attack killed two people and injured five on Friday in the Russian city of Belgorod near the border, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said. Gladkov, speaking in a video posted on Telegram, said the men were members of crews restoring damaged heating and electricity networks in the city. Restoration work will resume on Saturday as it was too dangerous for crews to be operating at night, Gladkov said.

Bitcoin Futures are hovering near $68,800 in mid-February 2026, attempting to stabilize after a sharp retracement from last year’s surge above $110,000. At the same time, Ethereum Futures are trading close to $2,050, nearly 50% below their prior highs above $4,000. While crypto appears to be “holding,” the broader backdrop tells a more complex story.
Nasdaq Futures, which climbed above 26,000 during the late-2025 expansion phase, have cooled materially and are now trading closer to the 24,800 region. The index is no longer delivering clean upside momentum, and recent weeks show more rotational behavior than sustained expansion. That shift in macro tone matters because crypto’s recent stabilization is occurring within a softer risk environment.
The key question for investors right now is whether Bitcoin’s consolidation near $68K represents early accumulation, or simply a pause within a broader distribution phase. Ethereum’s deeper retracement and weaker relative structure add another layer of caution. When cross-asset positioning is examined together rather than in isolation, the message is clear: crypto is not yet leading the next risk-on cycle.

## Nasdaq Futures: Cooling Momentum Without Capitulation
The broader macro backdrop is critical here.
Since peaking above 26,000 in late 2025, Nasdaq Futures have pulled back roughly 5–7 percent. That may not sound dramatic, but the internal structure has shifted. Upside attempts over the past several weeks have required more effort and delivered less follow-through. Downside weeks, by contrast, have produced cleaner directional movement.
This matters because crypto does not operate in isolation. When equities enter a rotational or cooling phase, high-beta assets typically require strong independent leadership to outperform. That leadership is currently missing.
Importantly, this is not a panic environment. There is no evidence of forced liquidation across equities. Instead, participation has cooled. That subtle distinction changes the probability of what comes next.
Rotation tends to produce choppy rallies, not sustained breakouts.

## Bitcoin: Stabilization After a 37% Reset
Bitcoin’s move from above $110,000 to the current $68,800 region represents a reset of roughly 37 percent. Historically, Bitcoin has experienced similar retracements within broader cycles, but what makes this phase notable is the nature of the rebound.
Over the last several weeks:

- Bounce attempts have been moderate rather than explosive.
- Price has not reclaimed prior breakdown zones above $75,000–$80,000.
- Upside sessions have lacked sustained follow-through.
The key structural detail many overlook is this: stabilization alone does not equal accumulation.
True accumulation phases tend to show expanding participation alongside improving upward efficiency. What we are currently observing is compression — price holding, but not aggressively reclaiming lost ground.
That distinction may determine whether Bitcoin forms a base in the coming months or drifts lower in alignment with broader macro softness.

## Ethereum: The 50% Drawdown Tells a Different Story
Ethereum’s situation is more fragile.
From highs above $4,000 to current levels near $2,050, ETH is down nearly 50 percent. That magnitude of drawdown exceeds Bitcoin’s retracement and reinforces Ethereum’s role as the higher-beta component of the crypto complex.
More importantly, Ethereum has not demonstrated relative leadership during this stabilization period.
In recent weeks:

- ETH has underperformed Bitcoin on rebound attempts.
- Upside moves have stalled below prior structural resistance.
- The asset remains closer to breakdown territory than breakout territory.
This relative weakness is new information that often goes unnoticed. While headlines focus on “crypto holding,” the internal hierarchy shows Ethereum acting as the pressure point.
Historically, when Ethereum underperforms Bitcoin during stabilization phases, it suggests caution rather than imminent upside acceleration.

## Relative Strength Hierarchy: The Market’s Hidden Signal
When we rank the assets by structural strength as of February 2026:

- Nasdaq Futures – cooling but structurally intact
- Bitcoin Futures – stabilizing but not leading
- Ethereum Futures – weakest and most fragile
This ranking is not based on price alone. It reflects directional efficiency, recovery quality, and relative performance across multiple timeframes.
The absence of a leader is the key takeaway.
In strong risk-on environments, one asset typically pulls ahead decisively. That is not happening right now. Instead, we see synchronized stabilization within a cooling macro regime.
That combination reduces the probability of immediate upside acceleration.
Ether Weaker than Bitcoin

## What Would Change the Narrative?
For sentiment to shift meaningfully:

- Nasdaq Futures would need to regain sustained upside momentum and hold above recent consolidation levels.
- Bitcoin would need to reclaim the $75,000–$80,000 region with follow-through.
- Ethereum would need to outperform Bitcoin on a weekly basis, not just bounce alongside it.
Until those developments occur, rallies may represent rotational rebounds rather than confirmed trend reversals.

## Why This Phase Is Different From Prior Crypto Corrections
In previous cycles, Bitcoin often decoupled from equities during critical turning points. In early 2026, that decoupling has not materialized.
Instead:

- Crypto is stabilizing within a cooling macro regime.
- Ethereum is showing disproportionate weakness.
- Bitcoin is acting defensive rather than aggressive.
This suggests the current environment is not one of panic liquidation, but neither is it one of renewed expansion.
It is transitional.
Transitional markets demand patience.

## Final Outlook: Rotation Before Expansion
As of mid-February 2026:

- Bitcoin holds near $68,800 after a major reset.
- Ethereum trades near $2,050, down nearly 50 percent from highs.
- Nasdaq Futures remain below prior peaks, reflecting macro cooling.
The data does not yet confirm accumulation across crypto. Instead, it points to stabilization within a broader rotational phase.
For investors, that means monitoring relative strength and leadership, not just price bounces.
For traders, it means recognizing that in cooling regimes, upside follow-through must prove itself.
The next major move will likely begin with one asset breaking this hierarchy, not by bouncing, but by leading.
Until then, the crypto market remains in reset mode rather than expansion mode.
