Introduction: Bitcoin under pressure near $63,000
Bitcoin (BTC) continues trading under pressure near the $63,000 level, following several failed attempts to break through the $65,000 barrier. Analysts are now watching the two key support and resistance zones to determine the next move for price, as traders look for support at $60,000–$61,000 and resistance at $65,000–$66,000.

Introduction: A full month of trading at the same level
Ethereum (ETH) is facing a price consolidation state for more than a month, trading around the Fibonacci 0.382 level at $1,870. Despite indicators pointing to weakening selling pressure, the price remains confined within a narrow range, raising questions about the coin’s ability to break this stagnation.

Bitcoin continues its decline since last week, recording a new low at $62,500 before finding support and currently stabilizing near $63,000.
While most major cryptocurrencies remained without significant movement over the past 24 hours, the LINK and WLFI cryptocurrencies stood out with gains exceeding 5%.
Bitcoin price stuck near $63,000:

كان مقرراً عقده بشأن أجندة "Regulation Crypto" (تنظيم الكريبتو)، والتي اقترحها رئيس الهيئة بول أتكينز (Paul Atkins).
1. السبب المعلن للتأجيل
أوضحت الهيئة على لسان متحدث رسمي أن سبب إلغاء الاجتماع المفتوح هو "مشكلة غير متوقعة في جدول المواعيد" (Unforeseen scheduling issue)، مع التأكيد على التزام الهيئة بتحقيق رؤية الرئيس لتقديم الوضوح التنظيمي لقطاع الأصول الرقمية. وسيتم تحديد موعد جديد للاجتماع في وقت لاحق.
2. أهمية الاجتماع الملغى للشركات الناشئة
كان من المفترض أن يناقش أعضاء الهيئة تقديم اعفاءات تنظيمية مخصصة لشركات الكريبتو الناشئة التي تسعى لجمع الأموال خارج نطاق القواعد التقليدية لطرح الأوراق المالية:
تخفيف الأعباء والتكاليف: تسهيل إطلاق المشاريع وجمع التمويل داخل الولايات المتحدة دون الحاجة لتحمل تكاليف متطلبات التسجيل والإفصاح المعقدة.
مسار تنظيمي محدد: منح الشركات مساراً مؤقتاً أو محدداً بمبلغ معین لجمع التمويل والعمل لفترة زمنية محددة دون الالتزام الكامل باللوائح التقليدية الصارمة.
3. تقاطع التأجيل مع قانون CLARITY Act
يأتي هذا التأجيل بالتزامن مع دخول مجلس الشيوخ الأمريكي في عطلة لمدة 5 أسابيع دون التصويت على مشروع قانون CLARITY Act:
تباطؤ التشريعات: يعكس هذا التزامن تباطؤاً مزدوجاً في صياغة القواعد من قبل SEC والتشريعات الصادرة عن الكونغرس.
احتمالات الاعتماد: انخفضت احتمالات إقرار قانون CLARITY Act على منصة التوقعات Polymarket إلى 21%.
الربط بين الخطوتين: يُرجح أن الهيئة قد تكون بانتظار إقرار القانون قبل اتخاذ خطوات إضافية، رغم أن التأجيل وُصف بأنه مجرد مسألة تنظيم جدول ولا يعني التخلي عن الإصلاحات التنظيمية.
4. تحركات أخرى في القطاع
بالتوازي مع هذه التطورات، تستعد هيئة تداول السلع الآجلة الأمريكية (CFTC) لعقد مؤتمر متصل بالكريبتو بعنوان "From Uncertainty to Clarity" (من عدم اليقين إلى الوضوح).

Bitcoin investors over the past week received what should have been a very supportive and positive mix of macroeconomic data, starting with last Friday’s weak U.S. jobs report. However, the leading cryptocurrency failed to deliver any tangible gains once again. Moreover, it has lost some of its momentum and is already down on the weekly chart, as it struggles to stay above the $63,000 level. So what is behind this?

Bitcoin’s drop to $63,038.45 on a 5-hour timeframe warns of a strong bearish wave after a break of the Ichimoku cloud and the critical Fibonacci support. Breaking this level increases the likelihood of further downside toward the demand zone between $62,383 and $61,309—a region where buyers often intervene strongly.
Risk signals are piling up
Bitcoin’s current price of $63,038.45 confirms a bearish turn after closing below the moving averages and the Ichimoku cloud on a 5-hour timeframe. Momentum indicators such as MACD and SuperTrend are giving increasingly bearish signals, while the RSI at 36.92 is approaching the oversold area—an area that may trigger a temporary bounce, but it is also a sign of seller control.

The Clarity Act (CLARITY), considered the most prominent legislative proposal to regulate the digital asset market in the United States, faces a decisive test in the Senate, where political and legal disagreements threaten to derail its passage before the legislative recess begins, despite the strong support it received in the House of Representatives.
The disputes focus on three main files, including controls related to the U.S. president’s revenues from cryptocurrency activities, limits on the legal liability of open-source software developers, and the mechanism for distributing stablecoin returns, which are valued at about $1.35 billion. These issues are seen as determining the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) and the regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States in the coming years.

Active Addresses Spike: Bitcoin daily active addresses surged to ~0.98 million on July 31, 2026—the highest level since December 2024. Glassnode characterized this as a "fear-driven operational response" as users scrambled to secure funds.
Coldcard Vulnerability: The activity was triggered by a firmware flaw in Coinkite’s Coldcard devices (Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5, and Q series), where seeds generated prior to recent patch updates suffered from weakened randomness (reduced entropy).
Significant Losses: Attackers began sweeping compromised single-signature addresses starting July 30. Galaxy Research confirmed at least 1,596 BTC stolen (~$100M+ value), with total losses possibly reaching over 2,055 BTC across thousands of addresses.
Exchange Inflows: Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges increased by over 22,000 BTC around the incident, indicating some users moved assets to exchanges while setting up new wallets.

Long-term Bitcoin holders are facing increasing pressure after the sell-off seen in the market during February, with signs of a relative decline in accumulation trend, which may lead to a deeper price correction.
On February 6, the price of Bitcoin dropped to $62800, putting significant pressure on long-term holders similar to what happened during the Luna crash in May 2022. Glassnode's platform analysis described this change as a "rare shift in confidence that typically occurs at deeper stages of bear markets."

With the collapse of Bitcoin to $66,000.
Bitcoin is currently trading at around $66,467 as of February 13, 2026, down 1.77% over the past 24 hours, marking a sharp decline from its all-time high of $126,080. The market capitalization of Bitcoin is currently $1.33 trillion, amid pressures from risk-averse sentiment in broader markets.

Driven by rising gold prices and increased demand for blockchain-backed safe assets.
Gold prices are currently trading at approximately $4965 per ounce, up 2.4% over the past week, while the total market value of tokenized gold has surpassed $6 billion. This rapid expansion represents one of the strongest growth phases in the blockchain-based commodities sector, primarily due to the increasing demand for gold-backed digital tokens.

In an important organizational step that enhances Ripple's position as a key player in the cross-border payments market, the company has obtained a full Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from the Luxembourg Financial Sector Supervisory Commission (CSSF). This achievement comes on February 2, 2026, after meeting all requirements since the previous preliminary approval, paving the way for greater expansion of Ripple Payments services across the entire European Union. This license is a valuable addition to the global licensing chain that has exceeded 75 licenses, making Ripple one of the most compliant companies in the digital assets space.

Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by trading volume, announced the commencement of an ambitious plan to convert the reserve of the SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) from stablecoins to Bitcoin, with a total value reaching one billion dollars. The first batch has been successfully completed, as the platform purchased a quantity of Bitcoin worth 100 million dollars, in a step that comes in response to community criticism following the major liquidations last October, reflecting strong confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset.

The financial markets on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, experienced a sharp rebound in Asian stocks and precious metals, following the largest two-day decline since last April. South Korea led the recovery with a strong jump in the KOSPI index, while gold and silver rose significantly, supported by strong Chinese buying ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. In contrast, Bitcoin lagged relatively in the recovery, recording modest daily gains but its weekly losses far exceeded the drop in gold, reflecting the ongoing gap between traditional assets and digital currencies since late 2025.

The cryptocurrency market, led by Bitcoin, saw a noticeable rebound late on Monday, as it recovered some of the losses incurred from a sharp sell-off that the markets recently experienced. The price of Bitcoin rose by 4.2% over the past 24 hours to reach $78,662 by 11:00 PM Eastern Time on Monday, after having dropped to around $75,000 earlier in the day. Ethereum also saw an increase of 5.86% to $2,322, while major altcoins recorded modest gains, but prices still remain much lower than their levels before the recent decline.

A massive investment deal worth half a billion dollars from an Emirati entity in a cryptocurrency project affiliated with the family of U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked widespread controversy over potential conflicts of interest and corruption. Observers and ethics experts believe that this deal, which took place just days before Trump's inauguration in January 2025, links private business interests with sensitive political decisions related to artificial intelligence technology, placing the White House in a legally and morally precarious position.

In a move that reflects the commitment of the U.S. administration to advance legislation related to digital currencies, the White House hosted a meeting on Monday in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, gathering representatives from the crypto industry, including trade groups and exchange companies, alongside representatives from banks on Wall Street. This meeting comes in the context of the stalled Digital Asset Market Structure Bill (known as the CLARITY Act or the Digital Clarity Bill) in the U.S. Senate, where the main disagreement still revolves around whether exchange platforms should be allowed to offer yields or rewards on stablecoins.

In the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, the market has recently witnessed a dramatic shift reflecting a deterioration in investor sentiment. For the second consecutive week, digital asset investment products (ETPs) recorded outflows of $1.7 billion, erasing all gains made in 2026 so far. This mass withdrawal has pushed global annual flows into negative territory with a negative value reaching $1 billion, according to a report by CoinShares on February 2, 2026. This comes amid a storm of economic and geopolitical pressures threatening to reshape the future of the market. In this article, we will review the full details of these developments, their causes, impacts, and what to expect in the future.

Key points:
- President Donald Trump caused panic in the cryptocurrency market after announcing the advancement of the U.S. military towards Iran.
- The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies decreased by more than 6% to 2.78 trillion dollars.
- Liquidations exceeding 1.7 billion dollars were recorded in the last 24 hours, mostly from long positions.
