On Friday, Ether reclaimed $2,000 after a cooler U.S. CPI print, putting ETH/USD on course for its first positive weekly close since mid‑January. According to CryptoQuant, futures open interest dropped by 80 million ETH over 30 days and Binance funding hit -0.006, the lowest since early December 2022. Traders say a short squeeze toward $2,500 is possible if $2,000 support holds.

Bitcoin climbed above $69,000 after the latest US CPI data, with traders watching resistance between $68,000 and $70,000 as a trigger for a potential V-shaped recovery toward $72,000. Analysts warn that holding support around $65,000–$66,000 is critical, while a break of $72,000 could lead to a liquidation squeeze targeting liquidity near $80,000.

On Oct. 2, 2025, Bitcoin set an all‑time high at $126,000. On Feb. 6, Glassnode recorded a long‑term holder net‑position change drop of 245,000 BTC, followed by average reductions of 170,000 BTC, while CryptoQuant’s MVRV Adaptive Z‑Score hit -2.66. Several analysts now project a potential bottom around $40,000–$50,000 in Q4 2026.

Glassnode’s Feb. 11 on-chain report indicates Bitcoin is trading in a range defined by a True Market Mean near $79,200 and a realized price around $55,000, similar to conditions seen in early 2022. Analysts say that without a decisive move above $72,000 or a major downside shock, BTC could remain in a prolonged consolidation as heavy overhead supply and whale positioning limit upside momentum.

On Tuesday, Chart Nerd highlighted monthly Gaussian Channel fractals that could steer XRP toward $0.70–$1. On Wednesday, the token traded at $1.36 after nearly a 63% pullback from the $3.66 peak, with a break below $1 still on the table, per Crypto Patel. Institutional ETF inflows and whale activity may offset downside risk.

Glassnode data show the Bitcoin Mayer Multiple fell to 0.65 as of Monday, a level last seen in May 2022 and below the 0.8 oversold band. On Tuesday, On-Chain College said this aligns with deep bear-market phases, while analysts mapped potential supports near the $58,000 200-week MA and, in extreme cases, toward $40,000.

Solana's SOL has validated a head-and-shoulders setup across several time frames, with analysts on X outlining targets near $50 and, in extreme cases, $30. The token fell 38% in the past 30 days to a two-year low of $67, while MVRV bands suggest support around $75 that may need to hold.

On Thursday, Bitcoin slipped under $69,000 for the first time since Nov. 6, 2024, as analysts highlighted several classic capitulation signals. Heavy losses from short‑term holders, an "extreme fear" reading on sentiment gauges, and Bitcoin’s most oversold RSI levels since the 2022 bear market all suggested that seller exhaustion and a potential price bottom could be approaching. These conditions have historically preceded both short-term weakness and subsequent rebound phases in the BTC market.

On Thursday, Bitcoin slid beneath the $84,000 support that had held since mid‑November 2025, reaching $81,000 as long liquidations totaled about $1.6 billion. On January 30, 2026, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index printed 16, reflecting extreme fear. Analysts highlight the 200‑week SMA near $57,974 and, in a worst case, targets down to $50,000.
