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! 💔

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

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.

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.

Cardano ($ADA) awakens: Is the 'sleeping giant' ready for a rally? 🌋
While the market's attention is focused on Bitcoin, Cardano is quietly showing strength. In the last 24 hours, the price $ADA has increased by +8%, outpacing most assets in the top 10. The main driver is a sharp increase in TVL (total value locked) in the network's DeFi protocols and the launch of an updated governance system.
Bitcoin ($BTC) on the brink: Final test of support or a drop to $70k? 📉
Bitcoin continues to test traders' nerves. After yesterday's liquidation of $2.6 billion, the price is stuck in a narrow range. Data analysis from CoinMarketCap shows that the fear and greed index remains in the 'Extreme Fear' zone, which has historically often preceded a local reversal.

Solana ($SOL ) is preparing for a comeback: Why is the network 'boiling' while the price is falling? ⚡ The crypto market is in the red zone, but underneath, a real frenzy is happening in Solana. Despite the price drop following BTC, trading volumes on decentralized exchanges (DEX) in the SOL network have surpassed those of Ethereum in the last day. Users are massively migrating to new memecoins and DeFi protocols based on Solana due to low fees. According to ForkLog and CoinMarketCap, developer activity in the network has reached a peak in 2026. Historically, such high network activity during a price drop indicates a quick recovery (V-shape recovery). Whales continue to accumulate $SOL, viewing current levels as an ideal entry point before the next surge to ATH.

$BNB: The number 1 defensive asset during the market storm? 🛡️
While most altcoins are experiencing double-digit declines, BNB shows impressive resilience, withstanding the main pressure of liquidations. The main factor is the anticipation of the next quarterly token burn and a steady influx of users into Launchpool. According to ForkLog, the BNB Chain ecosystem continues to scale despite macroeconomic pressure in the USA. Unlike speculative assets, BNB has real utility, making it a "safe haven" for many large holders in February 2026.
While Bitcoin searches for a bottom, and altcoins bleed, $ETC shows remarkable resilience. Over the last 24 hours, Ethereum Classic has risen by +12%, and on some exchanges, it reached +20%, ignoring the overall market crash! According to Investing.com, the reason may be the excitement surrounding the upcoming hard fork and the transition of Ethereum miners (after The Merge) to ETC. Major players view ETC as a safe haven for "Proof-of-Work" assets.
Black Sunday: $2.6 billion in liquidations. Is this the 'bottom' for Bitcoin?
The crypto market met February 2026 with a massive collapse. In the last 24 hours, over 335,000 traders lost their funds due to forced position closures. $BTC broke the $77,000 mark for the first time in 9 months, while $ETH fell by 15%, dropping below $2,300. According to CoinMarketCap and ForkLog, panic has intensified due to the partial suspension of the U.S. government and unexpectedly harsh rhetoric from the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates. Traders are mass fleeing to 'safe havens', causing a capital outflow from ETFs.
