TradFi as Salvation: Traders Hedge Risks through Gold and Stocks 🏦
Through the 'perfect storm' in the crypto market, traders began to massively seek refuge in traditional financial instruments (TradFi). Against the backdrop of the crypto collapse, the volatility of gold ($XAU /USD) reached 20%, and the price stabilized around $4,891 per ounce. This indicates that capital is actively flowing into safe-haven assets.
Ethereum fell below $2,000: Altcoins are losing double-digit figures 📉
Against the backdrop of a general market crash, Ethereum ($ETH) has shown a sharp decline, dropping to $1,889. This decrease of 10.1% in a day has been a serious blow to the DeFi ecosystem. According to data from Binance Square, liquidity on decentralized exchanges continues to dry up, and investors are shifting into 'risk-off' mode, dumping risky assets.
Market Capitulation: Bitcoin broke $65,000 amidst record outflows from ETFs 🚨
The cryptocurrency market has plunged into the zone of 'extreme fear' (5/100). On Friday, February 6, 2026, Bitcoin ($BTC) set a 16-month low, recording at $64,944. Over the last 24 hours, the leading cryptocurrency has lost more than 10%, leading to a cascade of automatic liquidations of long positions. As reported by Investing.com, the main trigger was the mass exit of institutions: the net outflow from crypto-ETFs amounted to a shocking $329.6 million.
Green islands in the ocean of blood: Why are Synapse and zkPass growing? 🚀
While the crypto market capitulates, certain assets demonstrate phenomenal resilience. Today, February 6, 2026, the Synapse token ($SYN ) soared by +15%, while zkPass ($ZKP ) added over +21%. The reason for the anomaly was a mass liquidity shift from BTC to niche DeFi projects. Analysts at Investing.com warn: such growth during an overall collapse is often a "bull trap". Speculative capital seeks temporary refuge, but without broad market support, these pumps are usually short-lived. ForkLog advises taking profits, as Bitcoin's dominance is increasing, which will inevitably pressure altcoins in the medium term.

Trap for 40x leverage: The largest liquidations in the last 6 hours 🐋 The last day has been a disaster for traders with high leverage. According to BlockBeats On-chain Detection, just in the last few hours, a BTC position worth $11.46 million was liquidated. The largest single liquidation amounted to $3.08 million. The market hit the "bulls" particularly hard, who were using 40x leverage. One of the wallets (0x4b6...) lost almost its entire balance, leaving less than $100,000 after the liquidation of 158 BTC. There are also reports of significant profits for the "whales" who timely opened short positions on Solana ($SOL ), when the price dropped to $90. This situation once again proves: in the volatile market of 2026, aggressive leveraged trading is a path to instant bankruptcy. The market currently does not forgive mistakes in risk management. Do not let the market liquidate your deposit! Subscribe to our risk management tips and trade wisely! 🛡️📉 #Liquidation #cryptotrading #RiskManagement #WhaleWatch #BTC #solana #BinanceSquare
Abnormal Gainers: Synapse ($SYN) and QuarkChain ($QKC) rise against the market.
Even in the 'bloody' market, there are assets that demonstrate abnormal strength. In the last 24 hours, when BTC and ETH were falling, the Synapse token ($SYN ) increased by +17%, while QuarkChain ($QKC ) added over +12%. This indicates that speculative capital continues to seek opportunities in narrow niches. According to Binance Square, the growth of SYN is supported by new integrations in cross-chain protocols, while QKC reacts to a spike in trading volumes due to network updates. However, experts from Investing.com urge caution: against the general bearish backdrop, such 'pumps' often turn out to be liquidity traps (bull traps). Investors should pay attention to the volumes: if the rally is not supported by real transactions in the network, it may end as quickly as it began.
Ethereum under threat: $ETH risks falling below $2,000 for the first time in a year 💎
The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum ($ETH ), continues its rapid decline. Over the past day, the asset has lost about 5.5%, dropping to $2,165. Analysts at The Block note that a drop below $2,000 could happen very soon — for the first time since May of last year. In addition to the overall market pressure, internal factors are putting pressure on Ethereum. Suspicious movements of large volumes of ETH to Tornado Cash have been recorded after the attack on Aperture Finance (losses estimated at $1.25 million). Large funds, including those associated with Multicoin Capital, are actively exchanging ETH for new tokens (for example, $HYPE ), which creates additional selling pressure. The $2,000 level is now the main psychological barrier for the 'bulls'. Will they have the strength to hold it?
Bitcoin on the brink of $70,000: Will the market withstand the 'Warsh storm'? 📉
The situation in the crypto market is escalating. As of the morning of February 5, 2026, Bitcoin ($BTC ) has fallen by more than 3% for the session, touching the mark of $70,052. This is the lowest level since November 2024. The main trigger of panic remains the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the head of the Fed. Investors are concerned about a sharp reduction in the regulator's balance, which will deprive the market of the necessary liquidity.
Long-term Perspective: Why Will the Market Grow Despite the Fed? 💡
Despite the current panic and the impact of the Fed's decisions, macroeconomic factors indicate an inevitable recovery and growth of the cryptocurrency market in the long term. According to Bloomberg analysts, the global adoption of blockchain and Web3 technologies is only accelerating, while institutional players continue to actively accumulate Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Meme Coin Madness: A New Wave of ‘Pumps’ and Risks for Investors 🐶
Despite the overall downturn in the market, the meme coin sector is once again showing signs of crazy activity. Several new tokens, such as DogeCoinKiller ($DCK) and CatWifHat ($CWH), have shown growth of hundreds of percent in the last 24 hours, attracting retail investors with promises of quick profits. However, as Investing.com warns, the risk of investing in meme coins remains extremely high. Most of these projects lack real utility and are sustained only by hype. Many of them are typical “pump-and-dump” schemes, where investors who come in last lose their funds. Experts advise being extremely cautious and remembering the history of Pepe ($PEPE ) and Bonk ($BONK ), which experienced a deep correction after a rapid rise.

Solana in a Trap: DEX Volumes Fall, $SOL Couldn’t Hold $100 📉
The recent surge in activity on Solana ($SOL ) turned out to be short-lived. Over the last day, trading volumes on decentralized exchanges (DEX) in the network have sharply declined, and the price failed to hold the psychological mark of $100, dropping to $96. This indicates that the overall bearish trend in the market is stronger than the local bursts of enthusiasm.
Brutal lesson: 8 crypto traders wiped out by the market — $763 million lost! 💔
The market continues to punish overly confident players. In the last day, eight major crypto traders, who collectively controlled positions worth billions of dollars, were completely liquidated. Their total losses amounted to a shocking $763 million, serving as a harsh reminder of the dangers of high leverage.
Extreme Fear: Why Experienced Traders Are Not Selling Now? 🧠 Sentiment in the cryptocurrency market has officially plunged into the zone of extreme fear. The decline in capitalization to $2.61 trillion has forced many newcomers to close positions at a loss. However, as experts at Investing.com note, the "hawkish shock" from the Federal Reserve usually has a short-term effect that the market digests over a few days. Strategic investors are paying attention to the fact that the fundamental reasons for growth—such as global digitalization and institutional adoption—have not gone away. Current volatility is just a "shaking out of weak hands." Instead of panic selling, professionals advise reviewing your portfolio and focusing on assets with real utility. Remember: the greatest fortunes are made during times of maximum fear. #HODL #CryptoStrategy #MarketSentiment #FearAndGreed #Investing #BinanceSquare #MiningUpdates
Against the trend: MYX Finance rises by 12% in the 'red' market 🚀
While 91 out of 100 top coins have recorded a decline, the MYX Finance project ($MYX ) has become a real sensation. Over the last 24 hours, the token has shown double-digit growth, rising by +12.8% to a level of $5.7. This is a vivid example of how strong fundamental indicators can ignore overall market panic.
Ethereum under pressure: Can $ETH hold the level of $2,200? 💎
Ethereum ($ETH ) has become one of the main outsiders in the last day, losing over 7.2% of its value. The price dropped to $2,225, which has raised a wave of concern among altcoin holders. The massive outflow of capital from spot ETH-ETFs, which amounted to over $250 million in one day, has only intensified the bearish pressure.
Immediately, eight major crypto traders have been wiped out by the market — they are completely bankrupt. The total losses amounted to about $763 million. BitcoinOG (1011short) earned about $142 million at its peak, but later lost $270.87 million. James Wynn reached a maximum profit of $87 million, after which his losses totaled $109 million. AguilaTrades recorded a peak of $41.7 million, but ultimately lost $79.3 million. Anti-CZ Whale earned up to $61 million, and then lost $71.75 million. Machi Big Brother had a maximum profit of $44.8 million and lost $71 million. A trader known as 14-Win-Streak Trader reached a profit of $33 million but ended with a loss of $63.2 million. Gambler qwatio earned a maximum of $26 million and lost $54.8 million. Low-Stack Degen, starting with just $125,000, ramped up the deposit to $43 million, but ultimately lost $43.2 million.
Shock at $2.5 billion: Why didn't Bitcoin hold $75,000? 📉
The last day has been a true test for crypto investors. Following the appointment of Kevin Warsh as head of the Fed, the market was engulfed by a wave of uncertainty.

The End of an Era: Ripple and SEC Close the Case! What Awaits $XRP Next? 🏛️
The legal battle that lasted over five years is officially over. According to the latest data from The Block, both parties have waived their appeals, putting a definitive end to the dispute. This decision solidifies the status of $XRP as a non-security for retail investors, paving the way for Ripple's full expansion into the US market. Against the backdrop of news about the final settlement, Ripple has already announced strategic moves: acquiring prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion and preparing to launch spot XRP-ETFs. Analysts at Standard Chartered predict that the removal of legal risks could push the price of $XRP to $8 by the end of 2026. Will this February mark the beginning of the largest rally in history for the XRP army?
The cryptocurrency market met February with high volatility. The main reason for the panic was the appointment of Kevin Warsh as the head of the Federal Reserve of the United States. Although Warsh is known for his calls to lower rates, investors reacted with a massive cash out (deleveraging), fearing sharp changes in monetary policy.
