Bitcoin spot trading activity has fallen to its weakest level of the year even as a fresh CryptoQuant signal suggests one important pocket of selling pressure may be starting to fade. Darkfost, a contributor at CryptoQuant, said February is on pace to finish as the month with the lowest Bitcoin spot volumes since the start of 2024. He tied that slowdown to a broader retreat in risk appetite as traders pull back from directional exposure and wait for firmer macro or technical confirmation. “February is on track to close as…

Bitcoin 5TH Wave Is Not Over Yet, And Price Could Still Crash To $52,000; Analyst Warns

Jack Dorsey’s Block Announces 4,000 Job Cuts in AI Overhaul
Bloomberg reported earlier this month that 10% of Block’s workforce could be cut during annual performance reviews as part of a broader overhaul. Jack Dorsey’s payments company Block will cut over 4,000 of its staff, with its co-founder pinning the move on the rapid acceleration of AI. “We’re already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company, and that’s accelerating rapidly,” wrote Dorsey in…
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Rise While Derivatives Markets Reflect Caution
Key takeaways: Bitcoin derivatives show persistent fear despite the current rally toward $70,000, as seen by futures premiums being pinned well below neutral levels. The markets’ cautious stance stems from broad risk-aversion and lingering concerns over institutional BTC liquidations and Bitcoin network security. Bitcoin (BTC) retested the $70,000 level on Wednesday, recovering from Tuesday’s low of $62,500. While inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) helped stabilize market sentiment, the momentum failed to restore confidence within the BTC derivatives markets. Traders remain concerned that underlying factors are preventing a sustained rally…

Ether Hits $2.1K But Holding It Requires Two Factors
Ether (ETH) price reached a weekly high of $2,150 on Thursday, which is a key level for large ETH holders, but volatility in the crypto and stock markets continues to catalyze corrections below $2,000. A daily close above $2,100 remains important because that level aligns with the cost basis and realized price of wallets holding 100,000 or more ETH. Realized price tracks the last moved price of coins, offering a profitability gauge rather than a spot reference. ETH realized price by balance cohorts.

Nasdaq Files to List VanEck JitoSOL ETF Tied to Solana Liquid Staking
Nasdaq has filed a proposed rule change to list the VanEck JitoSOL ETF, a fund designed to hold the Solana-based liquid staking token JitoSOL. Liquid staking allows users to stake tokens to help secure a proof-of-stake network while receiving a transferable token in return that represents the staked assets and accrued rewards. Jito Foundation president Brian Smith told Cointelegraph that if the fund is approved, staking rewards would not be distributed separately but instead reflected in the fund’s net asset value. Because JitoSOL automatically compounds rewards, each token held by…

Bitcoin Bull Market May Restart If $74.5K Is Broken
Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded 7.45% over the past two days after dropping to $62,400 on Tuesday, below a key onchain price support. Despite the bounce, holders who bought six months to two years ago remain at an average cost of $74,500, a level that now stands as a potential inflection point. As BTC moves higher, the concentration of supply around $74,500 stands as a key test for the current trend; a decisive reclaim of that level may signal demand and a shift in short-term market structure. Why $74,500 matters to…
XRP Is About To Create History With This Latest Move
Crypto analyst Austin is making a bold claim about XRP’s latest price action, and if he is right, the cryptocurrency could make history. Following a decline below $1.4 earlier this week, Austin believes XRP is now setting the stage for a move that could change its price trajectory, potentially ending its ongoing corrective phase and triggering a breakout into price discovery mode. In a recent X post, Austin sounded the alarm on a potentially landmark moment for XRP, one that has never occurred in the cryptocurrency’s history. The analyst stated…
