ARBUSDT - Price Has Not Reached Premium Zone — Retracement Expected Before Further Downside
$ARB is currently trading at 0.1107, and the daily chart shows a very important detail: price has not yet retraced into the 0.2000–0.2200 premium zone. This area represents the last major region of institutional selling, and Smart Money theory suggests price often returns to such zones before continuing lower.
The chart’s upward arrow reflects this expected corrective move, while the sharp downward arrow afterward signals the anticipated continuation of the downtrend. The “X” marks a structural point confirming bearish dominance. For now, $ARB is trading in discount, and short entries here would lack optimal risk‑reward.
Traders should wait for price to revisit the premium zone before looking for bearish confirmations. The overall trend remains strongly bearish, but the ideal entry lies above current levels.

RESOLVUSDT - 1D CHART ANALYSIS
$RESOLV is trading at 0.0647 and forming a clear technical setup on the daily chart. Price is sitting just below the 0.0700–0.0750 resistance zone, an area where sellers have historically taken control. The chart shows a downward arrow from current levels, indicating a likely move toward the 0.0450–0.0500 support region.
This zone has acted as a strong demand area, and the chart also suggests a possible bullish rebound once price reaches it. The structure shows lower highs forming, signaling weakening bullish momentum.
Traders watching $RESOLV should be prepared for a corrective move before any potential recovery. The key levels are well-defined, and the chart provides a clean roadmap for both bearish continuation and a later bullish reaction.

CHESSUSDT- Bearish OB Untouched — Retracement Expected Before Downtrend Continues
$CHESS is trading at 0.00993, and the 4H chart shows a very important detail, price has not yet reached the Bearish Order Block between 0.02500 and 0.03000. This zone is a major supply area where strong selling previously occurred. Smart Money concepts suggest that price often retraces into such premium zones before continuing lower.
The projected arrow toward TP1 reflects the expected bearish continuation, but only after price returns to mitigate the OB. Until then, CHESS is trading in discount, and short entries here would be premature. Traders should wait for a clean move into the OB, signs of rejection, and confirmation of seller strength.
The overall structure remains bearish, but the ideal entry has not been delivered yet.

$LTC - Strong Rejection at 58.00 — Bearish Move Toward 46.00 Developing
LTCUSDT is trading at 52.82 and showing a textbook rejection from the 58.00 resistance zone. The 4H chart highlights a clean supply area where sellers stepped in aggressively. The “X” around 56.00 marks the failed bullish push, followed by a shift into a lower-high structure.
Volume is decreasing, confirming that buyers are losing strength. The projected arrow on the chart points toward the 46.00 TP zone, a key liquidity level that aligns with previous market reactions. Unless $LTC breaks above 58.50 with strong momentum, bearish continuation remains the dominant scenario.
Traders watching this setup may consider short strategies below 52.00 with stops above 59.00. Litecoin is entering a critical phase, and volatility is likely to increase as price approaches the breakdown zone.

$FIL Trades Below Key Structure as Bears Target Lower Liquidity
FILUSDT remains technically bearish on the 4H chart after failing to break and hold above a major bearish order block. This zone acted as strong resistance, leading to a sharp rejection and an impulsive sell-off that broke previous support. The breakdown confirmed a continuation of the broader downtrend rather than a temporary pullback.
Price is currently consolidating below former structure around the 0.90 region, but the lack of strong bullish candles suggests limited demand. This range is likely a pause before continuation rather than a base for reversal.
As long as $FIL remains below the order block and structure resistance, sellers retain control. The next downside objective aligns with liquidity resting near 0.80. Only a strong reclaim above resistance would invalidate this bearish outlook.

$DOGEUSDT Consolidates After Supply Rejection, Downside Targets Active
$DOGE is currently consolidating after a strong rejection from a higher-timeframe supply zone on the 4H chart. The rally into the 0.103–0.108 region was met with aggressive selling, confirming this zone as a distribution area rather than accumulation. This rejection preserved the broader bearish structure and invalidated any immediate bullish reversal narrative.
Following the rejection, price formed a lower high and continued downward, reinforcing seller dominance. The current sideways movement near 0.095 reflects indecision but lacks bullish displacement, suggesting it is a pause before continuation. If price breaks below this range, the next logical target sits at the sell-side liquidity zone around 0.085.
Only a strong reclaim and hold above 0.100 would shift bias. Until then, downside continuation remains the higher-probability scenario.

$ZEC Consolidates Below Supply, Downside Targets in Focus
ZECUSDT is currently consolidating below a key supply zone on the 1-hour timeframe following a strong corrective rally. The move from $200 to $245 was impulsive but lacked follow-through, suggesting it was driven by short covering rather than fresh demand. Price has since formed a tight range beneath resistance, indicating distribution.
Multiple rejections within the $240–$248 zone confirm active selling pressure. Market structure remains bearish, with no confirmed break above resistance or higher high formation. This consolidation increases the likelihood of another bearish expansion.
A clean breakdown below the $225 support level could accelerate price toward $210, with final downside liquidity resting near $190. Until $ZEC reclaims the supply zone, downside continuation remains the dominant scenario.

$PIPPIN USDT Trades Between Major Levels After Strong Demand Reaction
PIPPINUSDT continues to trade within a wide daily consolidation after reacting strongly from the lower demand zone. Buyers stepped in near the recent lows, pushing price back toward the mid-range pivot around 0.2471.
This level now serves as a key decision area that may determine whether the market attempts another move toward resistance at 0.3418 and potentially 0.4126. Despite the bullish bounce, the overall structure remains corrective as price has yet to reclaim higher resistance and confirm trend continuation. Rejection near current levels could trigger another move toward lower liquidity zones where previous support formed.
Traders are watching for either a breakout above resistance or renewed weakness below support to establish the next sustained directional phase.

$FF Trades Under Resistance With Bearish Momentum Building
$FF remains under pressure after repeated rejections from the upper supply region. The 4H chart displays a clear descending structure, with price consistently forming lower highs and failing to sustain upward momentum. Recent recovery attempts were short-lived, confirming sellers remain active near resistance. Current positioning near mid-range support highlights a critical decision zone for the next directional move.
A breakdown below this level would likely trigger continuation toward the marked lower target area where historical demand exists. Conversely, a strong defense and reclaim of higher levels would be required to shift momentum. The current structure reflects a corrective phase with bearish bias intact while price remains beneath key resistance.

$WLFI Tests Major Supply as Momentum Slows
WLFI/USDT has shown strong bullish displacement from its recent lows, forming a rapid recovery into a clearly defined resistance zone. The approach into supply triggered immediate selling pressure, visible through sharp rejection candles and stalled momentum near the highs. Price is now hovering beneath resistance, indicating hesitation and potential distribution.
The structure shows a likely short-term retracement scenario, targeting mid-range liquidity where previous consolidation occurred. A deeper pullback toward lower support cannot be ruled out if buyers fail to maintain structure.
Conversely, a clean breakout and sustained hold above the resistance block would signal renewed bullish strength and continuation potential. The chart currently reflects compression beneath supply, suggesting an imminent directional expansion.

$AXS - 1D CHART ANALYSIS
AXSUSDT is stabilizing near $1.50 after a high-volatility rejection from the $2.60–$2.80 liquidity zone erased breakout momentum. Structurally, price remains below the critical $1.83 reclaim threshold, keeping short-term bias tilted toward continuation lower. This compression phase suggests positioning reset before the next directional expansion.
If $1.83 is rejected again, downside targets align with the $0.90–$0.77 support cluster, where untested liquidity sits. A decisive reclaim above $1.83 would invalidate immediate bearish pressure and reintroduce rotation potential toward $2.33 supply. Current price behavior favors corrective consolidation within a broader down-impulse structure.
$AXS is approaching a decision zone: reclaim to reverse momentum, or reject and continue liquidity-driven downside expansion.

AVAXUSDT - 4H CHART ANALYSIS
$AVAX executed a textbook downside sweep into $8.20 before snapping back above $9.00, confirming strong demand at discounted levels. That reclaim flipped short-term momentum and established $9.00 as immediate structural support. Price is now pressing into the $9.50 resistance ceiling, forming tight consolidation that typically precedes volatility expansion.
Acceptance above $9.50 would unlock continuation toward $10.80, aligning with prior supply and unfinished auction zones. Rejection converts the move into a corrective bounce and risks rotation back toward $8.20 liquidity. Structurally, this is a reclaim-and-hold scenario where trapped shorts can fuel upside if resistance breaks. Participation is rebuilding after displacement, suggesting positioning reset rather than trend exhaustion.
AVAX is approaching a high-probability trigger level. The reaction around $9.50 should define the next directional impulse and volatility expansion phase.

$ASTER Compression Signals Imminent Directional Move
After printing a decisive sweep into deep support, ASTER responded with a controlled recovery that rebuilt short-term structure. The bounce wasn’t random, it reflects responsive demand stepping in where prior liquidity was cleared. Price is now compressing beneath a well-defined supply zone, forming a tension pocket typical before expansion.
Acceptance above this ceiling would mark a structural shift and invite continuation toward higher liquidity clusters. Rejection, however, would reinforce the broader downtrend and target the origin demand region again. Momentum currently favors stabilization, but confirmation is required.
This equilibrium phase represents a battlefield between trapped sellers and emerging buyers. ASTER is coiling inside a high-probability decision zone, and resolution should produce a tradable volatility expansion in the sessions ahead.

$H Structure Rebuild Signals Potential Expansion Phase
HUSDT recent move wasn’t random volatility, it was a deliberate liquidity grab into a historical demand pocket followed by a measured reclaim. That sequence indicates absorption and responsive buying, often seen near local bottoms. Price is now stabilizing above reclaimed structure while compressing beneath resistance, creating tension between buyers and trapped sellers.
This equilibrium zone typically resolves with directional intent. Sustained acceptance here opens a rotation path toward higher liquidity clusters, where momentum expansion becomes likely. Failure to hold would reintroduce range behavior, but the current reaction profile leans constructive.
With liquidity cleared and structure attempting to flip, H is showing early signs of accumulation mechanics, the groundwork that frequently precedes tradable upside continuation.

$LA Flushed Weak Hands — Structure Now Rebuilding
LAUSDT recent drop wasn’t random volatility — it was a targeted liquidity grab into deep demand, where price immediately printed a strong rejection. That snapback indicates responsive buying and potential seller exhaustion after a prolonged drift lower. Since reclaiming part of the move, price is compressing into a tight structure, signaling balance after displacement. This phase often determines whether recovery gains traction.
Sustained holding above the reaction zone opens a rotation path toward the 0.32 resistance shelf, where expansion momentum could accelerate. Rejection would shift the chart back into range probing. For now, the evidence favors stabilization: liquidity cleared, demand defended, and structure attempting to flip.
These reset phases frequently precede tradable recovery swings, and LA is showing the early mechanics of that transition.

$HYPER Tagged Demand — And Momentum Is Trying To Flip
HYPER delivered a textbook liquidity grab into lower support before snapping back with strong reaction candles, signaling that demand is active. The move cleared stops, absorbed selling pressure, and forced price back into reclaim territory.
Now the market is attempting to stabilize beneath overhead supply, forming a base that could fuel expansion if buyers maintain control. Acceptance above current structure would open the path toward the next liquidity pocket, where volatility is likely to increase. Rejection, however, would signal continued range behavior. For now, the chart leans toward recovery, a typical post-sweep reaction phase where positioning resets and momentum shifts. These transitions are where opportunity forms.
$HYPER is showing early structural repair, suggesting that upside probing remains viable while demand continues to hold.

$2 Trillion Wiped Out as Bitcoin Plunges Toward $60K Before Sharp Rebound in February 2026
The cryptocurrency market has plunged into one of its most severe corrections since the 2022 bear market, erasing roughly $2 trillion in total value from its late-2025 peak of around $4.3–$4.38 trillion. As of February 6, 2026 (mid-to-late trading, around 1–5 PM ET / 2–6 PM AST), the global crypto market cap hovers at approximately $2.2–$2.3 trillion, down sharply in recent sessions amid extreme fear, massive liquidations, and broad risk aversion.
Bitcoin (BTC), the market's bellwether, has been at the epicenter of the storm. After hitting an all-time high above $126,000 in early October 2025 amid post-election euphoria and institutional hype, BTC has shed more than 50% at its worst, dropping to a low of around $60,000–$60,074 on Thursday, February 5—its lowest since October 2024. This triggered record entity-adjusted realized losses of $3.2 billion on February 5 alone, surpassing shocks from past events like Luna/FTX collapses.
Yet, in a classic crypto whipsaw, BTC staged a powerful rebound on Friday: surging as much as 10–11% intraday, briefly reclaiming $70,000–$71,000 (highs near $70,187–$71,159), and settling around $69,500–$70,800 in various reports (e.g., $70,707 close on some trackers, $70,835 on futures). This bounce has trimmed weekly losses but leaves $BTC still down ~28–30% year-to-date and deeply oversold (daily RSI ~18).
Ethereum (ETH) and altcoins have followed a similar painful path but with amplified downside:
- $ETH traded as low as $1,700–$1,800 before recovering to $1,878–$1,940+ (up ~6–10% on Friday), down ~19–24% weekly and heavily year-to-date.
- Solana (SOL) fell ~26% weekly, while 90 of the top 100 coins declined (many double-digit), with five of the top 10 seeing double-digit drops.
- Trading volume exploded to $356 billion (highest in months), signaling capitulation and panic selling.
The Fear & Greed Index has cratered to 12 (Extreme Fear)—multi-year lows—reflecting widespread doubt about crypto's "utility" despite earlier political tailwinds.
What Triggered This 'Crypto Winter' Redux?
No single smoking gun, but a perfect storm of overlapping pressures:
1. Heightened Risk Aversion & Macro Re-Pricing: Broader market pullbacks in growth/tech stocks, hawkish Fed expectations (including Kevin Warsh's nomination signaling tighter policy), and global uncertainty (trade/tariff threats, geopolitical tensions) hit high-beta assets like crypto hardest. Bitcoin decoupled from "safe-haven" narratives, behaving more like a speculative tech instrument.
2. Deleveraging & Liquidations Cascade: Over $1–$2.67 billion in liquidations in 24 hours, margin calls, and forced selling amplified the drop. Thin liquidity exacerbated swings—prices lurched 10–17% in sessions.
3. Institutional & Whale Selling: U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw $434 million outflows recently; ETH ETFs $80 million. Miners (e.g., Marathon Digital offloading 1,318 BTC worth $86.9 million) and whales contributed to pressure. Even Trump-family-linked entities reportedly liquidated holdings.
4. Profit-Taking After Parabolic Rally: 2025's massive gains (BTC up hugely post-election) led to widespread "OG" profit-taking, especially as leverage unwound.
5. Doubts on Narrative: Skepticism grew about Bitcoin as "digital gold" amid rotation to traditional safe havens (e.g., gold/silver volatility spillovers) and questions on real-world utility.
Technical & On-Chain Snapshot
- BTC breached key levels like the 200-week EMA ($68,000), with support eyed at $54,000–$60,000 if $69,000 fails. Oversold conditions hint at potential base-building.
- Altcoins lag, with sentiment at capitulation levels—often a contrarian bottom signal historically.
- On-chain: Record loss-taking indicates long-term holders dumping, a classic bear-market exhaustion sign.
Outlook: Temporary Capitulation or Deeper Winter?
Analysts split: Bulls see this as a "healthy adjustment" in a structural uptrend—oversold bounce, potential policy support, and historical resilience could fuel recovery if macro eases. Bears warn of further downside if risk-off persists, liquidity stays thin, or new catalysts (e.g., regulatory/ETF flows) disappoint.
Short-term volatility remains extreme—watch BTC holding $69,000+ (bullish continuation) vs. retesting $60,000 lows (bearish extension). Longer-term, stabilization hinges on improved global conditions, rebuilt technical support, and renewed institutional conviction.
In this environment, crypto's high-risk/high-reward nature is on full display: extreme fear often precedes rebounds, but caution dominates as the market grapples with its maturity challenges. Investors should monitor ETF flows, liquidations, dollar strength, and broader equities for the next decisive move.

Short-term volatility remains extreme—watch BTC holding $69,000+ (bullish continuation) vs. retesting $60,000 lows (bearish extension). Longer-term, stabilization hinges on improved global conditions, rebuilt technical support, and renewed institutional conviction.
In this environment, crypto's high-risk/high-reward nature is on full display: extreme fear often precedes rebounds, but caution dominates as the market grapples with its maturity challenges. Investors should monitor ETF flows, liquidations, dollar strength, and broader equities for the next decisive move.

$PEPE Hit Demand — And The Chart Is Signaling A Shift
After a fast corrective leg, PEPE tapped a lower demand region and delivered an immediate rejection wick, signaling responsive buying interest. This reaction suggests liquidity objectives were met, at least temporarily, shifting focus toward structural recovery. Price is now attempting to stabilize above reclaimed levels, a key condition for upside continuation.
The overhead supply zone remains the primary magnet where momentum will be tested. If buyers defend current structure, $PEPE could rotate upward and challenge resistance, rebuilding confidence after the flush. However, rejection from reclaim levels would imply further range development.
Right now, the chart favors reaction over breakdown. This environment rewards patience and structure awareness, as liquidity sweeps often precede tradable reversals and volatility expansion when demand proves resilient.

$FARTCOIN 1D Chart Breakdown
The 1D chart reveals a textbook meme token pump-and-dump. Extended range trading between roughly 0.15–0.19 gave way to a sharp parabolic spike toward 0.26 on strong momentum. Heavy distribution followed with large red candles erasing gains, then a near-vertical capitulation drop tested much lower levels before any relief bounce.
Current candle closes at 0.1842 (+0.66%), with intraday range from 0.1565 low to 0.1901 high. Structure stays bearish: failed recovery above the broken 0.20–0.24 zone (now resistance), lower highs dominant, modest green day looks like weak defense rather than reversal signal.
Without volume-backed close above 0.19, downside pressure toward 0.14–0.16 remains the path of least resistance. Extreme volatility and thin liquidity define this high-risk speculative asset.

$AAVE Attempts Recovery After Sharp Sell-Off
AAVEUSDT is attempting to stabilize after a steep intraday sell-off on the 30-minute timeframe. However, overall market structure remains bearish following the decisive loss of multiple support levels. The aggressive drop suggests strong institutional selling, with the current price action showing consolidation rather than accumulation.
A key supply zone is visible between $115 and $120, where price previously failed and sellers stepped in aggressively. This zone will likely act as resistance on any upside retracement. Failure to reclaim this region could trigger another sell-off toward the $98 and $95 demand levels.
Until $AAVE breaks above supply with volume confirmation, rallies should be viewed as corrective within a broader downtrend.
