TradeCityPro | Bitcoin Daily Analysis #261👋 Welcome to TradeCity Pro! Let’s move on to Bitcoin analysis. After the recent sharp drop, the market is now going through an upward corrective move. ⏳ 1-Hour Timeframe After Bitcoin’s bearish move down to the 62,824 support, it entered a corrective phase and has so far retraced up to 71,670. ✔️ During this correction, volume has decreased, which confirms the strength of the bearish trend. Now, as a new bearish leg appears to be starting, selling volume is increasing again, further supporting the continuation of the downtrend. ✨ At the moment, the short trigger we have on Bitcoin is 67,735. This trigger remains valid as long as price does not stabilize above 71,670, and we can open a short position on a clean break of this level. 💥 The main short trigger is still the break of 62,824. That said, in my view, if price continues lower, it will likely react to another low and form a new structure before moving further down—but for now, 62,824 remains our key trigger. 📊 For long positions, we have a very risky trigger at the break of 71,670. This setup is only worth considering if buying volume starts to increase, and even then, it should be taken with minimal risk. 🔔 The main long trigger will only be confirmed after a trend change on higher timeframes, such as the 4-hour and daily charts. ❌ Disclaimer ❌ Trading futures is highly risky and dangerous. If you're not an expert, these triggers may not be suitable for you. You should first learn risk and capital management. You can also use the educational content from this channel. Finally, these triggers reflect my personal opinions on price action, and the market may move completely against this analysis. So, do your own research before opening any position.

BITCOIN - From the DISTRIBUTION phase to the CONSOLIDATION phaseBINANCE:BTCUSDT.P tested 60K during the current cycle and formed a fairly significant pullback to 70K. However, it is too early to talk about a bullish trend; this is just a reaction to liquidation. The cycle continues... At the moment, the decline is 52%, which is historically within acceptable limits and is a relatively average indicator. Fundamentally, there is no support for the crypto market, and Friday's pullback was supported by the recovery of the US stock market. Global and local trends are bearish, and local spikes in volume and bullish impulses are possible in the hunt for liquidity, which should be viewed conservatively. The price has entered the key trading channel of 53K - 73K and is likely to stop within the current cycle and form another trading range, which may subsequently reinforce the reversal momentum. Key liquidity zones have not yet been tested: 59650 - 53330. Resistance levels: 71,900, 73,800, 82,200 Support levels: 65,000, 59,650, 53,330 How can we tell that the market is ready to reverse? Technically, the reversal phase does not come immediately after distribution, the cycle of which is still ongoing. The market must enter a consolidation phase with the gradual formation of sequentially rising lows/highs. The breakdown of local structures + the market holding above key resistance levels will hint at a positive market sentiment. Thus, we are waiting for the formation of an intermediate bottom and a change in the market phase from distributive to consolidation... Best regards, R. Linda!

Bitcoin Breaks Major Support — Extreme Fear or Another Leg Down?Bitcoin ( BINANCE:BTCUSDT ), as I highlighted in my previous weekly idea , started its decline. The drop came with higher momentum than expected, surprising many, and it successfully broke the heavy support zone($78,260-$64,850). Now, here are the fundamental reasons for Bitcoin’s movement in the last 24-48 hours, as well as the general context: •Global Risk-Off Sentiment: Investors moved away from high-risk assets as global equity markets—especially tech stocks—came under heavy selling pressure. •Lack of Strong Spot Demand: There was no meaningful inflow of fresh capital to absorb selling pressure at key support levels. •Institutional Pressure & Unrealized Losses: Large BTC holders and public companies with Bitcoin on their balance sheets reported increased unrealized losses, weakening market confidence. •Correlation With Traditional Markets: Bitcoin continued to trade as a risk asset, following the downside momentum of global financial markets. •Forced Liquidations: High leverage across the market led to cascading liquidations, accelerating the downside move. Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index is currently at 9 — marked as “Extreme Fear”. This is the lowest reading since June 2022, when the market sentiment collapsed following major events like the Terra crash. Historically, when the Fear & Greed Index dropped this low, Bitcoin experienced prolonged selling pressure and volatility, followed by eventual stabilization as fear subsided. Extreme Fear readings often coincide with market bottoms or oversold conditions, but they do not guarantee an immediate price reversal. In short: Extreme fear can signal that market participants are overly pessimistic — possibly a contrarian buying environment — but confirmation from price action and other indicators is crucial before assuming a trend reversal. Now, let’s take a quick look at Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart to assess the current situation. It appears that Bitcoin, given its momentum, has successfully broken the heavy support zone($78,260-$64,850) and is currently pulling back toward that zone. From an Elliott Wave perspective, it seems we are in the final stages of the main wave 4. After this pullback near Fibonacci levels, we anticipate another decline. Since the drop’s momentum has been strong, wave 5 could potentially be truncated. I expect Bitcoin to resume its drop from one of the Fibonacci levels or Cumulative Short Liquidation Leverage($68,900-$67,200), targeting at least $64,123. First Target: $64,123 Second Target: $62,103 Stop Loss(SL): $72,033 Points may shift as the market evolves Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage: $60,000-$58,000 CME Gap: $84,560-$79,660 CME Gap: $54,545-$52,980 💡 Please respect each other's opinions and express agreement or disagreement politely. 📌Bitcoin Analysis (BTCUSDT), 4-hour time frame. 🛑 Always set a Stop Loss(SL) for every position you open. ✅ This is just my idea; I’d love to see your thoughts too! 🔥 If you find it helpful, please BOOST this post and share it with your friends.

Bitcoin monthly —Support found at EMA55There are many things to consider. The market represents a natural force, a force of nature. It is a collective mind, human action. It represents one aspect of our collective mind. When we are thinking, being and feeling in a certain way, this is reflected in the market, that being neutral, bearish or bullish. The market never stays the same, just as nothing stays the same in our bodies, minds and world. Everything is always in a constant flux. Everything is always changing. The most basic part of this phenomena is the intrinsic duality of this world. It doesn't matter where you live, you can never miss the fact that the day changes between night and day. This basic reality is reflected as bearish and bullish in our market. When the day comes, we know night is always lurking right around the corner. When the market is bearish, we know that bullish comes next. Bitcoin found support on the monthly timeframe right at EMA55, trading five consecutive months red. A very strong bearish impulse. This is the night, now comes day. EMA55 is a very strong support. So now we get some sort of reversal, some sort of relief, some sort of bullish action. The night makes way for the appearance of the sun. The morning has come. It is a bright day. We are going up. Namaste.

FACT CHECK: The "$8k MicroStrategy Liquidation" is a Lie.Stop panic-selling your Bitcoin because of a rumor. Everywhere on the timeline, I see the same copy-paste FUD: "If Bitcoin hits $8,000, Saylor gets liquidated and BTC goes to zero." I just finished a forensic audit of Strategy Inc.'s Q4 2025 filings. Here is the Institutional Reality vs. The Retail Myth. __________________________________________________________________________________ 1. THE MYTH: "Saylor has a Liquidation Price at $8k." 🧟‍♂️ THE TRUTH: This number is Rhetorical, not Contractual . * Origin: This figure came from a "Stress Test" comment by the CEO, illustrating where Assets would equal Liabilities. It is NOT a loan trigger. * The Structure: MSTR retired their secured loans (Silvergate) years ago. Their current debt is Unsecured Convertible Notes (due 2027-2032). * The Key Difference: Unsecured notes have NO Liquidation Trigger . They cannot be margin called based on price price. 2. THE SAFETY NET ($2.25 Billion Firewall) 🛡️ Even if Bitcoin goes to $20k, MSTR does not have to sell a single Satoshi. * Cash Reserve: They hold $2.25 Billion USD in cash. * Runway: This covers all interest payments through mid-2028 . * Conclusion: They can survive a multi-year Crypto Winter without forced selling. __________________________________________________________________________________ 3. THE REAL "PAIN POINT" (It's not $8k) ⚠️ The real risk is not Liquidation; it is Stagnation . * MSTR Avg Cost: $76,052 * Current Price: ~$70,000 * Status: UNDERWATER. The risk isn't that they *sell*; it's that they can't *buy* anymore. The "Infinite Money Glitch" (issuing stock to buy BTC) breaks when the stock trades below NAV. This removes the biggest buyer from the market. 4. THE ODDS OF $8K? (<1%) 📉 We analyzed the Dec 2026 Derivatives Market . * Smart Money Positioning: Massive "Put Wall" (Hedging) at $50,000 . * The Void: There is near-zero open interest below $30k. * Implied Probability: The market prices a drop to $10k at <1% . __________________________________________________________________________________ 🎯 THE VERDICT The "$8k Liquidation" is a ghost story from 2022. * Risk of Liquidation: 0% (Structure is Unsecured). * Risk of Stagnation: High (Until we reclaim $76k). * Major Support: The 200-Month Moving Average is at $58,000 . That is the real floor. Don't trade the FUD. Trade the Structure. Which side are you on? A) Believing the FUD (Target $8k) 🐻 B) Buying the Value (Target $58k) 🐂

ETHUSD Trend Shift: Bullish CHoCH from Demand ZoneETHUSD on the 2H timeframe is coming out of a strong descending channel after tapping a clear demand zone near the lows. The market printed a bullish CHoCH (change of character), signaling a potential short-term trend reversal. Price is now consolidating around the Ichimoku cloud, suggesting early accumulation, with upside room toward the first resistance/target area around the 2,400 zone. Overall bias shifts from strong bearish momentum to a cautious bullish recovery while price holds above the demand base.

EURUSD Bearish Continuation After Liquidity SweepEURUSD on the 2H timeframe shows a completed bullish channel followed by a liquidity sweep at the highs, which marked exhaustion of the uptrend. After the sweep, price broke down from the rising structure and moved below the Ichimoku cloud, signaling a shift to bearish momentum. The pair is now consolidating in a tight range, suggesting distribution before the next move. As long as price remains capped below the cloud and prior channel support, the bias favors a downside continuation toward the marked target zone.

BTC Turns at “Hunts”: A Multi-Timeframe Liquidity BlueprintWhy this idea matters If you study BTC long enough, a pattern becomes difficult to ignore: Major swing highs/lows are rarely “clean”. Before Bitcoin forms a meaningful top or bottom, it usually collects liquidity first —then it reverses with force. This is not a mystical claim. It is how auctions behave: Obvious highs/lows attract clustered stop orders. When those stops trigger, they become market orders and inject liquidity (fuel). That fuel is often what enables the next expansion leg. The repeating sequence (MTF) Across Weekly → Daily → Intraday, the same structure appears: 1) Build a magnet : range boundaries, equal highs/lows, prior swing points, weekly/monthly extremes. 2) Run the stops : a sharp wick through the obvious level (liquidity sweep / stop run). 3) Show intent : displacement away from the wick (fast impulse, not slow grind). 4) Leave inefficiency : imbalance / FVG created by the displacement (auction skipped prices). 5) Confirm structure : BOS/CHOCH in the new direction, then mitigation/retest for execution. What makes it tradable (and what makes it dangerous) Most traders stop at “it wicked, so it must reverse”. That is exactly where losses happen. You need a strict filter: Wick is not confirmation. Displacement + structure is confirmation. My hard rule (invalidation logic) After the liquidity-grab wick forms, price must NOT accept beyond the wick extreme. Acceptance means: repeated closes / building structure beyond that extreme. If acceptance happens, the “hunt” narrative is invalid and bias can flip. Applying it to the current BTC location (based on the chart) We are in a high-volatility selloff into a marked HTF pocket (low-60K area). This is the type of zone where BTC historically either: 1) prints a final sweep and snaps back with displacement, or 2) breaks, accepts, and trends into the next HTF pocket. The key takeaway BTC turning points are often “manufactured”: liquidity is collected first, then direction is revealed via displacement and structure. Stop runs are the trigger. Confirmation is the edge. How to use this as a clean system Mark HTF magnets: weekly/monthly highs/lows, equal highs/lows, range edges. Wait for the sweep (wick is the trigger, not the entry). Demand displacement + FVG. Execute on mitigation only after BOS/CHOCH confirms. Risk is defined by the sweep wick extreme. Risk note This is a framework, not a signal. Do not trade the wick. Trade the confirmation.

$ETH 1W Update: Zoomed out thoughts Ethereum remains constructively bullish on the weekly timeframe despite the recent sell-off, which has brought price back into a major historical demand zone around 2,000–2,100. This area has acted as a long-term pivot multiple times in the past and aligns with prior range support, making the current pullback look corrective rather than trend-breaking. ETH has rejected from the upper resistance at 4,700, but the broader structure still resembles a large multi-year range, with price now rotating back toward the lower-mid portion of that range. As long as ETH holds above ~2,000, the higher-timeframe market structure remains intact and favors consolidation followed by continuation. A sustained reclaim of 2,726, then 3,488, would signal momentum recovery and open the door for a renewed push toward range highs. Failure to hold the 2k region would weaken the bullish thesis, but at present this move fits a standard bull-market retracement, with patience favored while ETH builds a base at support.

Bitcoin has generated buy signals (30M)📊 Bitcoin Technical Analysis | Bullish Setup | Buy Opportunity A short-term trendline has been broken, which clearly shows that sellers are no longer able to keep buyers below this key resistance. This breakout indicates increasing bullish momentum and a potential trend reversal in the short term. In addition, a major and critical supply zone has been completely cleared. This area previously acted as strong resistance, but price has now managed to break through it with strength, confirming buyer dominance in the market. The upper supply zone above the current price has already been tested multiple times and is mostly consumed. As a result, there are very few remaining sell orders in this region, which increases the probability of further upward movement. 📈 Trading Strategy – Buy/Long Setup We are now waiting for a healthy pullback toward the highlighted entry zones on the chart. These levels offer high-probability entry opportunities for buy/long positions. For better risk management, it is recommended to enter using a DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) strategy at the marked levels. This helps reduce risk and improve average entry price. 🎯 Targets & Risk Management All target levels are clearly marked on the chart. At the first target (TP1), consider securing partial profits. After that, move your stop-loss to breakeven to protect your capital and trade with reduced risk. If the price reaches the stop-loss, this setup and analysis will be invalidated, and the bullish scenario will no longer be valid. ⚠️ Reminder Always follow proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Market conditions can change rapidly, so make sure to manage your positions responsibly.

Bitcoin $58,700 SupportBitcoin fell very close to final support in a dramatic sell off. That means there's a potential for it to move in this current uptrend range for a bit before it could eventually hit $58.7k. It's possible there simply aren't enough sellers to get us exactly to support either, but just keep in mind that's your optimal place to buy. This cream uptrend could also be the second best place to buy on the chance it doesn't make it to $58.7k (it's at least likely to be a good short term trade I currently have shorts at the close Friday targeting that trendline). I personally am waiting for it to hit 58.7k before buying. Ethereum still has a bit further to go to $1,530 for support, suggests to me that Bitcoin isn't done falling. Good luck!

BTCUSD — Defensive Structure Below Key MAs | Bottoming ProcessBitcoin remains in a defensive technical regime after a sharp 30–50% decline from the October 2025 peak, driven by macro tightening, leveraged long liquidations, and sustained fund outflows. Although institutional spot ETF accumulation continues to provide a longer-term structural tailwind, current price structure has not yet repaired, keeping the near-term outlook cautious. Technical Structure Price trades below all major trend references: SMA200: 102,542 SMA50: 87,298 EMA20: 79,868 This alignment confirms a broken long-term structure and a still-bearish medium-term trend. Momentum signals are mixed: RSI near 53 indicates neutral internal momentum, while ADX around 44 shows a strong directional trend environment that still favors continuation risk to the downside. MACD histogram prints are marginally positive but remain insufficient to confirm a structural reversal. Volume and order-flow readings show no decisive accumulation phase yet. Key Levels Immediate resistance: 89,496 Critical structural support: 60,000 Mining-cost support zone: ~58,740 Scenario Outlook Bullish structural repair: A sustained daily close above 89,496 followed by reclaiming EMA20 and SMA50 — and ultimately SMA200 — would shift bias toward a renewed bullish structure. Bearish continuation risk: Failure to hold the 60,000 support zone would reopen downside tests toward the mining-cost area (~58,740) and potentially extend the prevailing downtrend. Summarized Current conditions suggest a neutral / defensive stance, as no high-probability entry structure is present until either structural resistance is reclaimed or a confirmed accumulation pattern forms near major support.

$PUMP 1H Update: Trendline Breakout Alert! NYSE:PUMP (Pump.fun token) has just broken out of a key **descending trendline** on the **1-hour timeframe**! After weeks of choppy consolidation and a downtrend pressure, buyers finally pushed through the upper trendline resistance with solid momentum. This is a classic bullish signal — breaking structural resistance often leads to quick follow-through in volatile meme coins like this. Current price action (as of Feb 8, 2026): Trading around $0.0021 with recent volume spikes supporting the move. Pump.fun ecosystem is still buzzing, and any broader Solana/meme revival could fuel this hard! **What to watch next:** ✅ **Confirmation**: Hold above the broken trendline (now potential support) with increasing volume → lowers fakeout odds and builds conviction. ⚠️ **Fakeout Risk**: If it reverses fast and drops back below the trendline, it could retest lower levels — meme coins are notorious for traps! Watch recent swing lows for invalidation. 🎯 **Potential Targets**: If momentum sticks, we could see a nice pump toward previous highs/resistance zones (room for 20-50%+ moves in strong legs). Stay sharp: Risk management is key in these wild meme plays — don't ape without stops, and size positions wisely. This breakout has legs if the volume keeps coming in!

BTCUSD Daily – Bearish Breakdown & Sell-the-Retests Setup Here’s what the chart is saying, clean and to the point: Market Structure Clear distribution → breakdown sequence on the daily. Price topped near the mid-90Ks, rolled over, and lost the 83–84K demand zone (former support marked in blue). That loss flipped market structure firmly bearish. Key Levels Major breakdown level: ~83–84K (prior demand → resistance) Supply / entry zone: ~72–74K (blue zone labeled “entry”) Current support: ~67.4K (thin blue line) Primary target: ~60–62K (grey demand zone) Price Action Logic The vertical sell-off into ~67K suggests impulsive bearish strength, not exhaustion. The projected path shows a dead-cat bounce / consolidation into ~72–74K. That zone aligns with: Prior consolidation Bearish retest logic Likely supply from trapped longs Trade Thesis (as illustrated) Bias: Short Entry idea: Sell a rejection in the 72–74K zone Invalidation: Strong daily close back above ~75K Target: 60–62K demand (first meaningful higher-timeframe support) Big Picture Unless BTC reclaims the 80K+ region quickly, this chart favors continuation lower, not a V-shaped recovery. The structure says rallies are for selling, not buying.

Bitcoin Bull Market RestartingMy updated primary count: - RSI peaks ideally in wave 3's (orange circles) - 200 weekly MA provides major cycle support + pitchfork level holding, which it appears to be respecting nicely - Comparing altcoin charts, the vast majority topped in January 2025, supporting the idea that we've been in a corrective structure for a year now. - Leads to question of what is more probable? Bitcoin was the only crypto to be in a bull? or Bitcoin was also in a bear market?

Total crypto market capitalization analysis and BTC🤝 Congrats to everyone who survived another deep and painful crypto drawdown. 👉 CRYPTOCAP:BTC ’s decline was stopped only around the $60,000 level — that’s where real demand showed up. 👉 At the same time, the Fear & Greed Index dropped to 9, a zone we’ve been pointing to for weeks (or even months) as a historical trend reversal area (8–10). 👉 The total crypto market cap also bounced cleanly from a major level near $2T, suggesting this move wasn’t chaotic. 👉 Liquidations over the last 24 hours exceeded $2B. Sounds scary — but in context, this number doesn’t even make the Top 10 liquidation events in crypto history. And yes, we’ve already lived through all of those — otherwise we wouldn’t be here reading this 😉 📈 Scenario in short: 👉 If OKX:BTCUSDT holds above $62–64K in the coming days, it’s a strong hint that the market is not ready to accept lower prices yet, opening room for further upside. 👉 Looking at the total market cap chart, a +35% growth scenario into spring looks like a reasonable baseline. 👉 Ideally, altcoins push market cap higher more aggressively, while Bitcoin recovers slower and smoother — gradually giving up market dominance. ❓ What do you expect next: a mini altseason or another wave of market downside? ______________ ◆ Follow us ❤️ for daily crypto insights & updates! 🚀 Don’t miss out on important market moves 🧠 DYOR | This is not financial advice, just thinking out loud

$BTC bottom or dead cat bounce?BTC hit my long standing target of $60k yesterday . While I do think that's a great long-term entry, I'm also not sure if that's the final low. Now the biggest level on the chart is $81k, if we can break above that resistance, the market will be back in a bull trend. However, if we can't break above that level, there's a possibility of a final sweep of the lows which I think would potentially take us to that low $30k-40k range. I didn't even entertain this idea before the price action today, but alts still look like they have one more leg down to go and I'm not sure if a retest of yesterdays lows would generate such a large move in alts, or if there's a larger move down to come for BTC. BTC also still looks pretty heavy still after the bounce today. The bullish case would need to reclaim that $71k level and then $81k, but if we can't do that, there's risk of a final capitulation low. Wanted to share this chart as a possibility. I'm being patient as I think any time we have a large move down like this, price takes a while to resolve higher, so there should be multiple chances to enter before we get a larger bull run beginning.

BTC USD - Bitcoin's Sharp DeclineBitcoin's Sharp Decline: A Deep Dive into Market Mechanics, Whale Behavior, and Structural Liquidity Pressures Bitcoin recently underwent a severe and rapid price decline, briefly pushing its value toward the psychologically significant $60,000 level. This sell-off exhibited characteristics reminiscent of the cascading liquidations seen during the 2022 FTX collapse, driven not by a single, identifiable catalyst, but by a confluence of observable, mechanical pressures within the market's plumbing. While the price has since recovered to approximately $69,800, the event underscored critical vulnerabilities and shifting dynamics. On-chain data from Glassnode highlighted the severity of the drop relative to key investor cost bases: the Short-Term Holder (STH) cost basis stood at $94,000, the Active Investors Mean at $86,800, and the True Market Mean at $80,100—all far above the spot price at the nadir. This dislocation indicates a broad swath of recent buyers were plunged into deep unrealized losses, creating fertile ground for panic and forced selling. The Narrative Vacuum and the Search for a "Smoking Gun" As prices fell, social media platforms, particularly X, became a breeding ground for speculative narratives attempting to explain the move. Traders floated theories ranging from a hidden Hong Kong hedge fund implosion and yen-carry trade unwinds to more exotic fears about quantum computing threats to cryptography. However, these narratives shared a common flaw: a lack of verifiable, real-time evidence. This pattern is typical in fast-moving digital asset markets; a sharp liquidation creates a vacuum that is quickly filled with speculation, often obscuring the more mundane, yet powerful, underlying drivers. The Core Drivers: ETF Outflows, Leverage Unwind, and Whale Supply A more durable and measurable explanation for the decline lies in three interconnected factors: persistent spot ETF outflows, a violent derivatives liquidation cascade, and on-chain signals of whale distribution. The Erosion of the Steady Bid: Spot ETF Outflows The landscape for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs has shifted dramatically from the relentless inflows seen after their launch. Data from firms like SoSo Value indicates these funds have experienced net outflows exceeding $6 billion over the past four months. This persistent selling pressure matters profoundly for market structure. Inflows provided a constant, price-insensitive source of demand that could absorb sell orders. Sustained outflows remove this "automatic dip buyer," leaving the market more susceptible to breakdowns when other forms of selling emerge. As noted by Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, ETF holders are facing their largest unrealized losses since the products launched, with the drawdown from peaks approaching 42%. This context of embedded losses can dampen the appetite for bargain-hunting among this investor cohort. The Mechanical Cascade: Forced Leverage Liquidations Once selling pressure pushed Bitcoin below key technical levels, it triggered a self-reinforcing cycle of forced liquidations in the derivatives market. Data from CoinGlass showed that over $1.2 billion in leveraged long and short positions were liquidated as the price descended. This process is mechanical and reflexive; when prices fall, exchanges automatically close overleveraged positions to prevent losses, which generates more selling pressure, leading to further liquidations. This dynamic can dominate price discovery in thin liquidity environments, creating the appearance of a coordinated dump when the reality is often a systemic flush of excess leverage. On-Chain Evidence of Distribution and Capitulation Blockchain analytics provided clear signals of distress and supply movement from large holders (whales): Realized Losses Spike: Glassnode reported that Bitcoin's Entity-Adjusted Realized Loss hit $889 million per day on February 4th, the highest level since November 2022. This metric confirms that a significant volume of coins was being sold at a loss, indicative of capitulation. Whale Exchange Deposits Surge: Data from CryptoQuant showed the Exchange Whale Ratio for Binance spiking to 0.447, its highest level since March 2025. This indicates that a disproportionately large share of exchange inflows came from whale-sized wallets. Furthermore, total Bitcoin inflows to Binance reached approximately 78,500 BTC in early February, with whale wallets contributing roughly 38,100 BTC (48.5%). While such deposits can be for hedging or collateral purposes, during a sell-off they are widely interpreted as preparatory moves for selling, adding to bearish sentiment. Supply Redistribution: Santiment data revealed that wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC collectively reduced their holdings by 81,068 BTC over eight days, falling to a nine-month low of 68.04% of total supply. Concurrently, "shrimp" wallets (holding <0.01 BTC) accumulated to a 20-month high. This signals a distribution from large holders to smaller retail investors, a pattern often observed during corrective phases. The Macro Context: A Broader Risk-Off Liquidity Squeeze Bitcoin's decline did not occur in a vacuum. The move coincided with a broader risk-off sentiment across global markets. Reuters reported an unwind of leveraged positions across speculative assets, with commodities like gold and silver also selling off sharply. U.S. equities, particularly tech stocks, faced pressure as investors reassessed the timelines and profitability of massive AI investments. Additionally, concerning labor market data, including the highest January layoff announcements in 17 years, contributed to a macroeconomic environment of caution and deleveraging. As a liquidity-sensitive risk asset, Bitcoin is often one of the first to feel the impact of such broad-based portfolio rebalancing and margin calls. Technical Framework: Key Support and Resistance Levels For traders navigating this volatility, key technical levels provide a roadmap for potential price action: Critical Support Zones: Primary Support: $50,000 – A major psychological and technical level that has served as a foundational support in previous cycles. Secondary Support: $40,000 – A deeper, stronger support zone that would represent a more severe correction but a potential long-term accumulation area. Fibonacci Retracement Take-Profit Levels (from the recent high to the swing low): Initial Resistance/Target: $75,587 – Corresponding to the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement. Secondary Target: $85,273 – Aligning with the 0.382 Fibonacci level. Major Resistance/Target: $93,101 – The 0.5 Fibonacci retracement, a key midline often watched for trend strength. Full Trend Recovery Target: $100,929 – The 0.618 Fibonacci level, which would signal a robust recovery of the prior downtrend. Conclusion: A Liquidity Event, Not a Fundamental Break In summary, Bitcoin's steep decline is best understood as a complex liquidity event rather than the result of a single, hidden catastrophe. The interplay of persistent ETF outflows eroding structural support, a violent liquidation cascade in derivatives, observable whale distribution on-chain, and a broader macro risk-off mood created a perfect storm. This episode serves as a stark reminder of the market's current fragility when the steady institutional bid retreats and leverage is forcibly unwound. While the long-term thesis for Bitcoin may remain intact for many investors, the path forward is likely to be dictated by the re-establishment of a stable bid, the absorption of excess supply from large holders, and a calming of macro liquidity conditions. The identified support and resistance levels will be critical in gauging the market's healing process or vulnerability to further downside.
