BlackRock reportedly sold $528.3M worth of Bitcoin.
That’s a big move from one of the largest players in global finance, and it comes at a time when market sentiment is already fragile.
This doesn’t automatically mean they’re bearish long term institutions rebalance and manage risk but short term, it adds pressure and keeps volatility high.
Watch how price reacts after this supply hits the market.
Why Crypto Is Crashing Again And What Comes Next !?
Crypto markets are under pressure again today, with another sharp wave of selling hitting prices across the board. Total crypto market value has dropped around 3.2%, falling to roughly $2.57 trillion and wiping out nearly $50 billion in just a few hours. The selloff accelerated after U.S. markets opened, when Bitcoin suddenly dropped by about $1,700. This move wasn’t random it was structural. Liquidations Are Fueling the Drop The downside move picked up speed once leverage started getting flushed. More than $55 million in long positions were liquidated within just two hours. Traders positioned for upside were forced out, adding more sell pressure into already thin liquidity.
This happened despite positive headlines around the U.S. government shutdown, showing how fragile sentiment still is
Good news isn’t enough when positioning is wrong. Bitcoin and Ethereum Leading the Selloff
Bitcoin fell more than 4% in 24 hours, trading near $75,700. Ethereum dropped even harder, sliding over 6% to around $2,220. Major altcoins like XRP, SOL, and ADA followed Bitcoin lower, which is typical during risk-off moves. Fear remains elevated, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index stuck near 17, deep in extreme fear territory. ETF Outflows Keep Pressuring Price One of the biggest ongoing headwinds is institutional selling.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have reportedly seen around $2.8 billion in outflows over the past two weeks. That steady selling has drained confidence and reduced dip-buying support. With liquidity already thin, the market becomes vulnerable to sharp downside moves. Ethereum at a Critical Area Ethereum has now broken below an important support level, adding to the bearish tone. Short-term structure remains weak, while longer-term trends are still technically intact. The next move depends on whether ETH can find a solid support zone and stabilize. Some analysts still expect ETH to outperform BTC later in the cycle but only if broader market conditions calm down. Meanwhile, Gold and Silver Are Surging
While crypto is selling off, traditional safe havens are doing the opposite. Gold is up around 11% from its recent low, adding over $3 trillion in value.
Silver has jumped nearly 20%, adding roughly $800 billion.
In just 30 hours, nearly $4 trillion flowed into precious metals — a clear sign that capital is moving into safety.
What to Watch Next
The next major catalyst is the upcoming U.S. Federal Reserve meeting, which could shape risk appetite across all markets. If selling pressure continues and no fresh catalyst appears, some research firms warn Bitcoin could slide further, with $58,000 coming into focus as a potential long-term support zone. Bottom Line Crypto is not crashing because of one headline.
It’s selling off because of leverage unwinds, ETF outflows, weak liquidity, and risk-off sentiment. Until those pressures ease, volatility will remain high. Stay patient.
Trade the structure, not the emotion. Not financial advice.
$SYN pullback is getting defended nicely and buyers are starting to step back in. Price swept lower, found strong bids quickly, and the downside move lost momentum fast. This looks like sell-side absorption and an early reclaim of short-term structure.
Long Setup: Entry Zone: 0.085 – 0.089 Stop Loss: 0.0825
Targets: TP1: 0.0905 TP2: 0.0930 TP3: 0.0955 This move looks more like a corrective retrace, not a breakdown. If buyers stay active, continuation is possible from here.
Most people don’t lose in crypto because the market is impossible. They lose because they bring the wrong mindset. Crypto rewards patience, discipline, and timing not emotions. Let me explain it clearly. Most people buy after a coin already did a 2x or 5x… because Twitter is loud and everyone is screaming “next pump.” They don’t buy early. They buy late when smart money is already taking profits. Then they sell too early. Not because the setup failed… but because they’re scared to lose small gains. They exit winners too fast, and hold losers too long. Another big mistake? Chasing missed entries. Price moves without them, so they jump in out of emotion. That’s not strategy. That’s gambling. And the worst one… Trading with money they can’t afford to manage calmly. When you trade scared, you will always make the wrong decision. Early crypto is not for emotional traders. That mindset will never survive here. The ones who win are simple: They stay patient. They wait for levels. They manage risk. They think long-term. That’s how you last in this market.
Bitcoin has officially lost the $74K support zone, with price now trading around $73.6K. When a major daily support breaks like this, the next move usually comes down to one key question:
Does BTC reclaim $74K quickly (false breakdown)? Or does $74K flip into resistance (breakdown continuation)? This is the decision point.
The plan now is not guessing bottoms it’s waiting for confirmation. What This Breakdown Means
$74K was a major daily decision level where buyers defended aggressively. Once it breaks:
Stops trigger below the range Liquidity gets swept Price often retests the broken level from below And $74K usually turns into resistance This is classic bear market structure Key Levels to Watch Now
The first support zone where a short-term bounce can happen is around:
$73.3K–$73.6K
If selling continues, the next downside magnet levels are:
$72K $70K (big psychological level) $68K–$67K $64K–$65K $60K only if panic expands The main resistance zone now is: $74K–$75K If BTC cannot reclaim this area, bears stay in control. Two High-Probability Scenarios Scenario A Breakdown Continuation (Most Common) What you’ll likely see: Price bounces slightly Returns to $74K Gets rejected with lower highs Drops toward $72K → $70K Best plan: Wait for a retest of $74K from below. If you see rejection (wick, weak close, lower-high), that’s the classic continuation signal. Bear confirmation:
4H/Daily closes staying below $74K Red volume spikes Price remaining under key moving averages Scenario B False Breakdown (Bull Trap for Shorts) What you’ll likely see: Price dips below $74K Quick reclaim back above $74K–$75K Support flip holds Bounce begins Best plan Don’t chase the first green candle. Wait for a daily close back above $74K, then a pullback that holds. Upside targets if reclaimed: $78K–$80K $82K–$84K $88K–$92K
Simple Trade Checklist If you’re bearish: Best setup: $74K retest → rejectionInvalidation: daily close holding above $75KTargets: $72K → $70K → $68K
If you’re bullish: Best setup: reclaim $74K–$75K → holdInvalidation: losing $73.3K againTargets: $78K → $82K → $88K
If you’re neutral or spot holding: Reduce leverage exposureScale entries only at strong supportsAvoid buying mid-drop without confirmation
What Matters in the Next 24–72 Hours Daily close location: Below $74K = bearish control Above $74K and holding = false break risk Retest behavior: Rejection = continuation Support flip = recovery attempt
Volume and liquidations: High sell volume = stronger downside Long squeezes can push price lower for Bottom Line BTC is now in a post-support-break zone The key battlefield is $74K: Below $74K with rejection → likely continuation toward $72K and $70K Reclaim $74K–$75K and hold → false breakdown and bounce potential Stay patient. Trade the confirmation, not the emotion. Not financial advice. #TrumpProCrypto #GoldSilverRebound #VitalikSells #StrategyBTCPurchase #AISocialNetworkMoltbook
January closed as the lowest monthly close on $SOL since April 2024.
I’m only interested in buying Solana if price either reclaims this broken level or drops much lower into deeper support.
This is the monthly chart, so short-term bounces will happen, but as long as SOL is trading below the broken lows, the risk of further downside remains.
$GAS is looking ready for a breakout. Momentum is building, and if price confirms the breakout, we could see a strong pump from here. This is a good one to watch for both spots and futures.
Crypto Bear Market May Be Nearing the End, Analysts Say $60K Could Be the Key Floor
Bitcoin and the broader crypto market may be getting close to the bottom of this downturn, according to analysts at Compass Point. They believe that while short-term risk is still slightly to the downside, the market is now entering the final phase of the bear cycle
However, they also noted that a much deeper drop would likely require a major risk-off event in U.S. equities.
$60K–$68K Seen as Strong Bottom Zone
Compass Point’s base case expects Bitcoin to bottom between $60,000 and $68,000, with the strongest support near $65,000.
This range matters because long-term holders have historically accumulated heavily here.
Analysts pointed out that around 7% of long-term holder supply was acquired in this zone, showing strong conviction from patient buyers in past cycles.
ETF Outflows Are Adding Pressure
Bitcoin recently broke below $81,000 and fell as low as $74,500 over the weekend. Analysts said this area reflects the average cost basis for both ETF investors and the broader market. Since January 15, Bitcoin ETFs have reportedly seen nearly $3 billion in net outflows, and with more than half of ETF assets now underwater, outflows could remain elevated. They also warned that the $81K–$83K zone may now act as overhead resistance.
The $70K–$80K Zone Is an “Air Pocket”
Compass Point described the price range between $70,000 and $80,000 as an “air pocket,” meaning there is little structural support in that region. Less than 1% of long-term holder supply was acquired there, which could allow price to slide faster if selling pressure continues.
What If $60K Breaks?
If Bitcoin falls through the $60K–$68K support zone, analysts say the next major level could be around $55,000. But they emphasized that this would likely require extreme conditions, similar to 2022 when an equity bear market and major crypto bankruptcies pushed BTC below its average cost basis.
Final Thoughts
Compass Point’s message is clear: the bear market may be entering its final innings, and the $60K–$68K range could be the key long-term floor. Further downside is possible, but a major breakdown would likely need broader financial stress, especially in U.S. equities. Stay cautious, watch support zones, and manage risk.
Michael Saylor has spent nearly $50 billion over the last 5 years buying Bitcoin, and now he’s sitting underwater.
Adjusted for inflation, he’s down around $10 billion.
The bigger issue is that a large part of these BTC purchases were made using borrowed money and that debt has to be paid back. This is where things can get very messy, very fast.
I talked about this more than a month ago and warned about the risks. People like this create centralization, which goes against Bitcoin’s original purpose.
When leverage and concentration build up too much, the system becomes fragile.
I’ll keep you updated over the next few months.
And when I start buying Bitcoin again, I’ll say it here publicly.
A lot of people are going to regret ignoring these warnings.
