CRYPTO IN fear mode Crypto market sentiment has fallen to extreme lows and could lead to a “durable bottom” that exhausts selling pressure, according to analysts at crypto financial services firmMatrixport.
“Sentiment has fallen to extremely depressed levels, reflecting broad pessimism across the market,” said Matrixport in a note on Tuesday.
Matrixport’s own Bitcoin ($BTC) “fear and greed index” suggests that “durable bottoms” form when the 21-day moving average drops below zero and reverses higher, which is currently the case.
“This transition signals that selling pressure is becoming exhausted and that market conditions are beginning to stabilize.”
However, Matrixport cautioned that prices could still fall further in the near term. Historically, these deeply negative sentiment readings have offered attractive entry points, they said.
“Given the cyclical relationship between sentiment and Bitcoin price action, the latest reading suggests the market may be approaching another inflection point,” it stated. #BTC #sol #ETH #bnb
Bullish Comments from Bitwise CIO – “If the Bill Passes, These Two Altcoins Will Break Records”
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan painted an optimistic picture for the cryptocurrency market in 2026. Speaking live, Hougan stated that despite the volatility and price pullbacks experienced in 2025, a bull market would prevail towards the end of the year, driven by institutional adoption, regulatory advancements, and the strength of fundamental trends.
Hougan predicts that Bitcoin will break its traditional four-year cycle (a peak after the halving followed by a sharp drop) this time and reach new all-time highs. He argued that as the market matures, Bitcoin’s volatility will be lower than that of technology stocks like Nvidia. He stated that thanks to institutional demand, ETFs will absorb more than the entire new supply of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
What Is Midnight Blockchain? Charles Hoskinson's Privacy Chain Explained
Midnight is a privacy-focused blockchain developed by Input Output Global (IOG) and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson that uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable selective disclosure of data. The platform operates as a partner chain to Cardano and allows users to prove facts about their data without revealing the data itself, addressing a fundamental problem in blockchain adoption: how to use distributed ledgers while maintaining privacy required for regulated industries like healthcare and finance. Hoskinson announced during his keynote at Consensus Hong Kong in February 2025 that Midnight will officially launch during the final week of March. The project has secured partnerships with Google and Telegram to help run the network. #BTC #ETH #BinanaceFutureTrading
Strategy founder Michael Saylor has revealed the firm plans to convert its $6 billion in bond debt into equity — a move that reduces debt on the balance sheet.
“Strategy can withstand a drawdown in $BTC price to $8,000 and still have sufficient assets to fully cover our debt,” stated the firm on X on Sunday, prompting Saylor’s response.
The Bitcoin ($BTC) treasury company currently holds $49 billion in Bitcoin reserves with a stash of 714,644 $BTC.
Its convertible debt is around $6 billion, so $BTC would need to fall around 88% for the two to be equal, and it still has enough to cover the debt, the firm explained.
Equitizing convertible debt means converting the bond debt into equity as stock shares rather than repaying it in cash, essentially turning bondholders into shareholders.
The move would reduce debt pressure on the company, but it can also dilute existing shareholders because new stock is issued.
Crypto market prediction ahead of U.S. Supreme Court tariff decision on Feb 20
Crypto markets are heading into a potentially volatile week as investors brace for the U.S. Supreme Court’s tariff decision scheduled for Feb. 20.
The ruling could determine the legality or scope of contested trade measures, a development that may ripple across equities, commodities, foreign exchange and, increasingly, digital assets.
Tariff decisions tend to influence broader macro sentiment rather than crypto directly. In past episodes of trade tension, markets initially reacted with a risk-off tone, strengthening the U.S. dollar and pressuring equities.

$ETH Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has made a radical proposal to change the underlying layer of Ethereum. Buterin proposed replacing ETHE’s current Virtual Machine (EVM) contract language in April 2025 with upgradeable RISC-V instruction set architecture versions.
For context, RISC-V is an open-standard, free processor architecture known for its efficiency and flexibility. Buterin makes the case that RISC-V adoption could significantly expedite Ethereum’s execution layer.
Buterin identified several bottlenecks responsible for entrenching the growth of Ethereum. He mentioned better availability sampling, a more competitive atmosphere between block producers, and ZK-proving improvements.
Thanks to zero-knowledge proofs, key technologies for fast, cheap, and more private transactions. Buterin said Ethereum would have to take “radical steps” to remain competitive.
“The beam chain initiative is a very promising way to simplify the consensus layer of Ethereum by a large margin,” he wrote. “But radical changes of this kind could be the only way to drive similar improvements for the execution layer.”
The Ethereum community has struggled to find solutions for scaling issues for some time. This latest proposal indicates that a full reworking of the execution layer may be required for Ethereum to survive the next wave of blockchain innovation.
$BTC Corporate bitcoin adoption is exploding as institutions pour billions into BTC, signaling the end of altcoin hype and the rise of crypto’s fundamental-driven future.
‘No More Alt Season’: Bitwise CIO Declares End of Speculation Era in Crypto
Bitwise Asset Management executives are signaling a shift in the crypto landscape, as their newly released Corporate Bitcoin Adoption report for Q1 2025 highlights accelerating institutional interest. CEO Hunter Horsley posted on social media platform X this week:
$SOL Solana’s derivatives market has seen a strong increase in activity this week. According to recent data, open interest has climbed by 10.11% to reach $5.55 billion.
This jump signals that more traders are opening new Solana (SOL) positions, showing renewed attention from retail and institutional participants.
Solana Rising Open Interest and Trading Volume
According to Coinglass, Solana’s open interest increased alongside a 24.28% rise in trading volume, now at $12.6 billion. The increased market participation has surged open interest and turnover. This trend shows some traders are building up for a potential Solana price movement within a day/week timeframe.
$SOL Bullish momentum is building around the Solana price after rising by nearly 4% in the last 24 hours to trade at a three-week high of $139. This rally has obliterated a $1 million sell wall, with traders now wondering how high SOL will rally and whether the $150 price level is next.
Solana Price Rallies As It Obliterates $1M Sell Wall
Solana price is recovering after breaking past a key resistance zone at around $138. This rally led to liquidations of $1M, as depicted by the SOL liquidation heatmap. After clearing this sell wall, SOL now looks primed to bounce to $150 if buyers maintain control.
$ETH Ethereum price is up 0.50% today following in Bitcoin’s (BTC) footsteps. But, data from CoinGlass shows that $6 billion will be liquidated if Ethereum (ETH) moves just a $1,000. With so much at stake, let’s explore what’s next for ETH, the second-largest cryptocurrency.
Ethereum Price Today
Ethereum price is up 0.50% today and trades at $1,596. In the past three days, ETH’s value has coiled up inside the $1,538 to $1,613 range, indicating a significant drop in volatility. There are two short-term key levels to watch – $1,613 and $1,689, both of which are equal highs and resting above it are buy-side liquidity. Likewise, a move below $1,538 could trigger sell-side liquidity.Hence, these two key liquidation levels that investors need to watch in the short-term.
