$BTC
As of February 2, 2026, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $78,140 USD, showing a flat 24-hour change of 0.0%. The market capitalization stands at $1.56 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $86.4 billion and a circulating supply of about 19.98 million BTC. Over the past week, BTC has declined by 10.9%, though it has gained 16.0% in the last 14 days and 13.1% over the past month, reflecting mixed short-term momentum amid broader yearly growth of 21.0%. The 24-hour price range has fluctuated between $74,592 and $78,244, highlighting ongoing volatility.Bitcoin has experienced significant pressure, dropping below $80,000 for the first time since April 2025 and shedding about 12% in the past seven days, erasing over $200 billion in market value. This downturn aligns with global market retreats, including liquidations of over $2 billion in long and short positions. Contributing factors include macroeconomic headwinds, institutional outflows, and forced liquidations. On-chain data shows expanded liquidity and yield opportunities, with record BTC swap volumes and commitments to programmable yields. However, challenges persist, such as the bankruptcy filing of Russian Bitcoin miner BitRiver over a $9.2 million debt and ongoing whale selling, which signals weak support.
Positive developments include institutions ramping up exposure: UBS has increased its stake in MicroStrategy, Justin Sun plans to add $50-100 million in BTC to the TRON treasury, and large holders are accumulating. Despite this, sentiment has shifted bearish, with traders betting heavily on further declines to $75,000 or lower, matching the intensity of previous bullish bets on $100,000.
