The first week of February 2026 will be remembered as one of the most chaotic in crypto history. From a global tech sell-off to a jaw-dropping error at a major exchange, the market has undergone a complete "leverage flush." As of today, Bitcoin ($BTC ) is showing incredible resilience, fighting to hold the $70,000 psychological mark.
1. Why the Volatility? The Triple-Threat Explained
If you’re wondering why your portfolio looked like a rollercoaster this week, three major events are responsible:
The "Warsh" Pivot: The nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Fed initially terrified investors. While he is pro-Bitcoin, his desire to shrink the Fed’s balance sheet signaled a "liquidity squeeze," causing institutional outflows.The Bithumb $44B Error: On Friday, the South Korean exchange Bithumb accidentally distributed over 620,000 BTC (worth $44B) to users as rewards. This triggered a flash-crash as the market braced for a supply shock before the exchange recovered 99.7% of the assets.The "MSTR" Liquidation Fear: Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. (MSTR) faced a 17% stock plunge following Q4 loss reports, leading to fears that corporate treasuries might become "forced sellers."
2. The Great Rotation: BTC & ETH Lead the Recovery
Despite the "Extreme Fear" (Index at 6) earlier this morning, the majors are bouncing back with double-digit gains:
Bitcoin ($BTC ): Up 10.5% to ~$70,500. Dominance remains high at 56.9%.Ethereum ($ETH): Gained 11.1% to reclaim the ~$2,050 level, marking its largest single-day percentage increase since late 2025.Altcoin Surge: Ripple ($XRP ) has exploded by 22% to $1.46 following breakthroughs in its ongoing legal saga, while Solana ($SOL) reclaimed $86.
3. China’s RWA Milestone
A massive news story is breaking out of Beijing today: China has announced a clear regulatory distinction between "Virtual Currencies" (which remain banned) and Real World Assets (RWA). This is a milestone for the tokenization industry, as China begins to create a legal framework for assets backed by onshore goods.
📊 Market Vital Signs (Feb 7, 2026)
Asset Price (USDT) 24h Change Sentiment
Bitcoin ($BTC ) $70,513 ↗️ +10.5% Extreme Fear (6)
Ethereum ($ETH) $2,061 ↗️ +11.1% Recovery
XRP ($XRP ) $1.46 ↗️ +22.2% High Momentum
Solana ($SOL) $86.37 ↗️ +16.1% Strong Bounce
🔮 Prediction: The "Short Squeeze" Continuation
The massive gap between the "Extreme Fear" sentiment and the rising price suggests a classic Short Squeeze is in play.
Bullish Case: If BTC holds above $70k through the weekend, the next target is $74,000, where major liquidations for short-sellers are clustered.Bearish Case: If the U.S. Government Shutdown gridlock worsens, we may see a re-test of the $64,000 support.
💡 Smart Strategy: This is a "Contrarian" market. When the Fear Index hits single digits (6), it has historically been the "Golden Entry" for spot buyers. Avoid high leverage during weekend thin liquidity—focus on RWA and Layer-1 majors showing relative strength.

🔎 XRP Price Forecast for 2026
The price of XRP is expected to range between $1.6 and $8+ by 2026, according to various scenarios and market analyses.
📉 Potential Scenarios
🔹 Moderate Scenario (Gradual Growth):
Technical forecasts suggest that XRP will trade within the range of $2 – $3, with the potential to reach $2.5 – $3.0 by the end of the year if positive momentum continues.

$XRP 's weekly RSI just hit the lowest level since June 2022, the month of the previous bear market bottom. This means that we are looking at market conditions similar to the end of the last bear market.

Now, the reading is the lowest since then but not the lowest nor the same, it is a bit higher.

This development gives me a bullish bias but I am not stupid. This bullishness is based only on the short-term.

As you can see, $XRP USDT is set to close five consecutive weeks red with the current week having a long lower shadow. This call for some relief.

After this relief then the market moves lower again.

Whenever the market produces a bearish cycle, it never enters the next cycle in flash, suddenly. Instead, the market goes sideways for several months at bottom prices before the start of the next trend.

Let's say $XRP goes bullish for several weeks and that's it. The relief. Then it comes crashing back down. The next crash produces really extreme oversold conditions and then the market settles at bottom prices; still, no strong bullish breakout.

At the bottom we get sideways with some fluctuations. After a long while, long enough for people to get bored and many weak hands to fold, then a strong bullish breakout shows up. This move signals the start of the next market phase which tends to last a long time.

Bitcoin's halving and 4 years cycle explained

Many people have been saying that Bitcoin's four years cycle is changing or that it will change in the future—simply impossible.

The four years cycle cannot change because it has been programmed into the code. Every four years we get "the halving." And this is what causes Bitcoin's classic bullish and bearish cycles.

Before the halving, Bitcoin starts to grow really strong in anticipation of the event. This puts pressure on the entire Cryptocurrency market to grow.

Once the event happens, Bitcoin continues growing until all momentum is exhausted. The year after the halving all momentum is gone and that's the end.

The market starts to price-in the halving one year in advance. Grows before and during the halving. The momentum lasts until one year after and then we get the bear market.

That's why we get only 1 year of bearish action vs 3 years of bullish action.

Rapid recovery of Ripple (XRP) after a sharp decline generates strong signals against a potential price reversal.
Although recovery efforts are noticeable in the cryptocurrency markets, the price performance of #XRP has shown a much more aggressive approach. According to Santiment data, $XRP changed direction upward in a short time, dropping from around $1.15 approximately 18 hours ago and returning above the $1.50 level. This movement stands out as one of the most remarkable recoveries among the largest market capitalization assets.
