The cryptocurrency market in early 2026 has hit a massive structural crossroads. After Bitcoin ($BTC) reached a staggering record high of $126,000 in October 2025, the narrative has shifted from "limitless moon" to a gritty "liquidity crunch." As of February 2026, Bitcoin is struggling to hold the $70,000 support level, leaving many investors asking: What happened?
The answer lies squarely in Washington D.C., specifically with the nomination of Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair in May 2026.
The "Warsh Hawk" and the End of Cheap Money
Kevin Warsh is a name that sends shivers through "risk-on" asset classes. Known for his historical criticism of Quantitative Easing (QE), Warsh’s impending leadership suggests a Fed that is more interested in price stability than supporting market rallies.
While the Trump administration remains outwardly pro-crypto, the Fed's primary tool—the balance sheet—is being used to tighten financial conditions.
📉 Quantitative Tightening (QT): The Crypto Silent Killer
To understand the 2026 cycle, you must understand Quantitative Tightening (QT).
What it is: The Fed shrinks its balance sheet by letting bonds mature without replacing them, effectively "sucking" dollars out of the banking system.
The Crypto Impact: Crypto is the ultimate liquidity proxy. When there are fewer dollars circulating in the financial plumbing, speculative appetite vanishes. In early 2026, we are seeing the "Longest Losing Streak" since 2018 because the global dollar supply is contracting.
🧪 Institutional De-risking: The ETF Paradox
Surprisingly, the Spot Bitcoin ETFs that fueled the 2025 rally are now amplifying the downside. In late 2025 and early 2026, we saw over $5.7 billion in outflows from these funds.
Forced Selling: As institutional portfolios rebalance for a "High-Rate for Longer" environment under the new Fed regime, they are dumping "volatile" holdings first.
The Liquidity Gap: Because the market is "thin" (low depth), these multi-billion dollar exits cause much deeper price crashes than they would in a high-liquidity environment.
🛡️ How to Survive the 2026 Shift
Watch the DXY (US Dollar Index): If the Dollar strengthens under Warsh's hawkish tone, expect crypto to remain under pressure.Focus on "Utility" Over "Hype": While the broad market is down, sectors like DePIN (Decentralized Infrastructure) and RWA (Real World Assets) are showing resilience because they generate real-world yield, not just speculative hope.The $58,000 Level: Technical analysts are eyeing the 200-week moving average as the ultimate "must-hold" floor if the liquidity crisis worsens.
Bottom Line: The 2026 cycle isn't a "death spiral"—it's a Liquidity Reset. The era of "free money" is being replaced by a "survival of the fittest" market. Stay liquid, stay patient, and stop chasing green candles in a tightening macro environment.

Согласно двум опросам, проведённым Reuters, большинство ведущих экономистов ожидают, что Федеральная резервная система снизит процентные ставки два раза в 2026 году. Первый шаг, по их мнению, может состояться в июне — уже при новом председателе ФРС, которым, как предполагается, станет Кевин Уорш.

Рынок уже заложил ожидания двух снижений ставки Экономисты сходятся во мнении, что ФРС проведёт два снижения ставки в течение года. Эти ожидания уже отражены в динамике краткосрочных казначейских облигаций:

• доходность 2‑летних бумаг может снизиться с 3,50% в конце апреля до 3,45%,
• затем — до 3,38% к концу июля.

Это означает, что рынок заранее учитывает будущие решения регулятора.

Долгосрочные облигации: рост доходности из‑за инфляции и политических рисков
Опрос также показал:

• доходность долгосрочных облигаций в ближайшие месяцы останется стабильной,
• но позже в году может вырасти из‑за инфляционного давления и опасений относительно независимости ФРС.

Медианный прогноз по 10‑летним казначейским бумагам — 4,29%, что выше предыдущей оценки в 4,20%.

Фискальная политика Трампа усложняет задачу ФРС
Из 37 опрошенных стратегов по облигациям:

• 21 эксперт (около 60%) считает, что масштабный выпуск казначейских бумаг, необходимый для финансирования налоговых льгот и расходов администрации Трампа,

• затруднит сокращение баланса ФРС, который сейчас составляет $6,6 трлн.

Это создаёт дополнительное напряжение между фискальной и монетарной политикой, усложняя задачу регулятора.

Итог
• Экономисты ожидают два снижения ставки ФРС в 2026 году, первое — в июне.
• Рынок уже частично заложил эти ожидания в доходности краткосрочных облигаций.
• Долгосрочные доходности могут вырасти из‑за инфляции и фискальных рисков.
• Баланс ФРС и активная эмиссия облигаций усложняют манёвры регулятора.

In late Jan 2026, #GOLD soared past $5,600/oz and #Silver hit over $120/oz - fueled by geopolitical tensions, a weaker U.S dollar , demand, and speculative buying ( due to tarrif fears and Fed uncertainty).
Then prices crashed in early Feb 2026, reflecting extreme volatility in leveraged contracts.
Why the plunge? The trigger was the nomination of #KevinWarshNextFedChair as markets saw this as signaling fewer aggressive rate cuts , strengthening the dollar and hurting non-yielding metals.
However, major factors at play included:
Strong Dollar and Rates: A rebounding USD hurts metals , as they are priced in dollars.Speculative Overload: Futures open interest dropped sharply post crash , signaling reduced leverage.Supply Demand Dynamics : Gold benefits from central bank hoarding , while silvers industrial use adds upside but vulnerability to economic slowdowns.Global Risks: Trade wars and conflicts, etcetera.
Short-term Outlook:
Expect continued swings ad recent rebounds show dip- buying but volatility persists from Fed news and margin effects. Gold may stabilize $ 4800- $5100 & Silver $80- $90 but more downside risk if dollar firms.
Long-term Outlook:
Bullish fundamentals remain fueled by drivers like central bank buying, de-dollarization, debt concerns and silvers supply deficits. So, Analysts eye $XAU towards $5,000-$ 6,000 and $XAG $100-$150 by year end.
Bottom line: This dip offers a rest , not an end. Precious metals remain a hedge in uncertain times. Let watch the space👀#DYOR

​Ситуація на крипторинку загострюється. Станом на ранок 5 лютого 2026 року, Bitcoin ($BTC ) впав більш ніж на 3% за сесію, торкаючись позначки $70,052. Це найнижчий рівень з листопада 2024 року. Головним тригером паніки залишається номінація Кевіна Варша на посаду голови ФРС. Інвестори побоюються різкого скорочення балансу регулятора, що позбавить ринок необхідної ліквідності.
​Згідно з даними Investing.com, спотові BTC-ETF зафіксували відтік понад $3 млрд лише за січень, і ця тенденція посилюється. Технічні аналітики ForkLog попереджають: якщо рівень $70,000 буде пробито, наступною зупинкою може стати зона $65,000. Ринок зараз перебуває у стані крихкої рівноваги, де кожен коментар офіційних осіб ФРС може викликати нову хвилю розпродажів. Чи побачимо ми капітуляцію, чи цей рівень стане фундаментом для відскоку?

Tháng 2 năm 2026 – Phố Wall đang nín thở.
Không còn là những lời đồn đoán mập mờ, cuộc chiến tiền tệ tại Mỹ đã chính thức bước vào giai đoạn "ngửa bài". Donald Trump, với phong cách không khoan nhượng quen thuộc, vừa gửi đi một thông điệp lạnh gáy đến Cục Dự trữ Liên bang (Fed): Lãi suất phải giảm, và đó là mệnh lệnh.
Nhưng giữa bàn cờ chính trị này, Bitcoin đang đứng ở đâu?
1. "Nếu định tăng lãi suất, ông ta đã không ngồi ở đó!"

Đó là câu trả lời của Tổng thống Trump khi được hỏi về Kevin Warsh – người được ông chọn mặt gửi vàng cho ghế Chủ tịch Fed. Không vòng vo, không ngoại giao, ông Trump đã vạch rõ ranh giới: Warsh ngồi vào ghế nóng này chỉ vì một lý do duy nhất – Cắt giảm lãi suất.
Thông điệp này xóa tan mọi nghi ngờ về định hướng chính sách. Đối với Nhà Trắng, việc hạ lãi suất không phải là "lựa chọn", mà là "bắt buộc". Trump muốn tiền rẻ tràn ngập thị trường để kích thích cỗ máy kinh tế, và bất kỳ ai đi ngược lại – kể cả Warsh – đều sẽ bị coi là kẻ ngáng đường.
2. Kevin Warsh: Con "Diều Hâu" Hay Con Tốt Thí?
Giới đầu tư lão luyện đang toát mồ hôi lạnh, không phải vì họ không tin lãi suất sẽ giảm, mà vì họ lo ngại về cái giá phải trả.
Kevin Warsh có quá khứ của một "Diều hâu" (người ủng hộ thắt chặt tiền tệ). Việc ông ta đột ngột chuyển giọng sang ủng hộ cắt giảm lãi suất khiến thị trường nghi ngờ. Kịch bản đáng sợ nhất mà các quỹ đầu tư đang thì thầm với nhau:
Chiến lược "Bàn tay sắt bọc nhung": Warsh có thể chiều lòng Trump bằng cách cắt giảm lãi suất (bề nổi), nhưng âm thầm rút cạn thanh khoản của hệ thống ngân hàng (bề chìm).
Nếu điều này xảy ra, thị trường sẽ rơi vào tình trạng "tiền rẻ nhưng khan hiếm". Một cái bẫy hoàn hảo.
3. Bitcoin: Cú Rũ Bỏ Cuối Cùng Hay Sự Hồi Sinh?
Bitcoin – "đứa con" nhạy cảm nhất của dòng tiền – đang phản ứng dữ dội. Cú test lại vùng giá $70,000 - $74,000 vừa qua không phải là ngẫu nhiên. Đó là sự sợ hãi.

Tại sao Bitcoin sợ khi lãi suất sắp giảm?
Nỗi lo thanh khoản: Bitcoin cần dòng tiền dư thừa (thanh khoản) để bơm giá, chứ không chỉ cần lãi suất thấp. Nếu Warsh cắt lãi suất nhưng rút tiền về (QT), Bitcoin sẽ mất "nguồn sống".
Tâm lý đám đông: Sự không chắc chắn về Warsh đang khiến các "tay to" (Whales) tạm thời đứng ngoài quan sát.
Tuy nhiên, ánh sáng chưa tắt.
Nếu Warsh thực sự tuân theo "mệnh lệnh" bơm tiền toàn diện của Trump và đồng USD suy yếu, Bitcoin sẽ đứng trước cơ hội phục hồi mạnh mẽ nhất năm. Lịch sử đã chứng minh: Khi van tiền được mở, Bitcoin luôn là tài sản chạy nhanh nhất.
Lời Kết: Canh Bạc Quý 1
Chúng ta đang đứng trước một khúc cua định mệnh. Lời hứa của Trump là chất xúc tác, nhưng hành động thực tế của Warsh mới là liều thuốc thử.
Với nhà đầu tư, đây không phải lúc để "All-in" mù quáng theo tin tức, mà là lúc quan sát dòng tiền. Một khi Warsh gõ búa giảm lãi suất và thanh khoản được bơm trở lại, con tàu Bitcoin có thể sẽ rời bến và bỏ lại những kẻ nghi ngờ phía sau.

The final days of January and the start of February 2026 have been a trial by fire. Bitcoin, which recently sat comfortably above $120k, hit a 15-month low of $72,877 this Tuesday. As liquidations stack up, the market is shifting from "Buy the Dip" to "Follow the Builders."
1. The "Warsh Shock" & The Death of Easy Money
The primary catalyst for the current "Extreme Fear" (Index: 15) is the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair.
The Reality: Warsh is a "pro-Bitcoin hawk." While he views BTC as a legitimate store of value, he is expected to tighten liquidity and shrink the Fed’s balance sheet.The Result: The market is repricing the "Cheap Money" era. This has triggered a massive rotation into the US Dollar, leaving both Gold and "Digital Gold" (BTC) in a defensive crouch.
2. Trending Now: The x402 Protocol & Agentic Commerce
While the "Majors" are bleeding, the trending topic on the Square today is the x402 Protocol.
What it is: Incubated by Coinbase and Cloudflare, x402 is an open standard that revives the "402 Payment Required" HTTP code. It allows AI agents to pay each other autonomously using stablecoins like USDC.The Milestone: Today, the USDC Agent-Driven Hackathon concludes. Over 100 million payments have already been processed via x402 V2, proving that the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Economy is the fastest-growing sector of 2026.
3. The $1B SAFU Buy-Wall
In a move that is trending globally, Binance has officially begun converting its $1 Billion SAFU fund into Bitcoin.
The Signal: This is a massive vote of confidence. By holding the emergency fund in BTC, Binance is creating a structural floor. If you're wondering why $74,000 hasn't broken yet, look no further than the "Institutional Buy-Walls" being built by the world's largest exchange.
📊 Market Vital Signs (Feb 4, 2026)
Asset Price (USDT) 24h Change Sentiment
Bitcoin ($BTC ) $76,419 ↘️ -2.4% Extreme Fear
Ethereum ($ETH ) $2,258 ↘️ -4.0% Capitulation
Solana ($SOL ) $101.94 ↘️ -2.1% Testing $100
Hyperliquid ($HYPE) $39.50 ↗️ +14.2% High Momentum
🔮 Prediction: The "Post-Shutdown" Squeeze
The U.S. Government Shutdown (now in its 5th day) has left markets in a "data blackout."
The Bull Case: A resolution to the shutdown + a "neutral" jobs report this Friday could trigger a violent short-squeeze to $88,000.The Bear Case: Continued gridlock + a "Warsh-led" dollar rally could push BTC to its 200-week moving average at $58,000–$60,000.
💡 Smart Strategy: Q1 2026 is about Utility. While BTC and ETH are volatile, infrastructure like Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) and x402-enabled agents are where the real volume is moving. This is a "Spot Accumulation" market—don't let the leverage flush shake you out of your long-term conviction.
Are you buying the $76k "Warsh Dip" or waiting for the $60k re-test? Let’s talk below! 👇

本日加密市場延續「黑色星期一」慘況，Bitcoin (BTC) 進一步下探 $76,000 關卡。多重利空形成「完美風暴」：首先，川普提名鷹派代表 Kevin Warsh 為下任聯準會主席，粉碎了市場的降息預期；其次，美伊地緣政治緊張 升溫，導致資金逃離風險資產轉向黃金。鏈上數據顯示，過去 24 小時全網爆倉量突破 25億美元，多頭槓桿遭到血洗。此外，川普家族加密項目 World Liberty Financial 捲入 阿聯酋融資醜聞，引發監管擔憂。
​技術面上，BTC 已有效跌破 $78,000 關鍵頸線，MACD 顯示強烈賣出訊號。機構買盤顯著縮手，建議 「順勢做空 (Short)」，下方強支撐恐下看 $72,000。

Gold markets were shaken hard after President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair, triggering sharp volatility across precious metals 🌪️💥
But don’t confuse a violent correction with a trend reversal — this looks more like a reset before the next rally 👇

🔑 Key Takeaways

🏆 Gold corrected sharply from the $5,600 record high

🛡️ Price is still holding above the critical $4,000 support

🥈 Silver, platinum, and critical materials also saw heavy sell-offs

🏦 Warsh’s Fed nomination caused short-term market relief

⚠️ A decisive break below $4,000 would invalidate this bullish outlook

📉 Market Reaction: A Shock, Not a Collapse
The announcement of Kevin Warsh — seen as a more conservative and hawkish Fed pick — briefly calmed markets and triggered repositioning 🔄
As a result:

🥇 Gold dropped over 10%

🥈 Silver crashed more than 30%

⚙️ Copper stocks, uranium, and critical materials suffered double-digit losses

This wasn’t panic — it was a release valve after an overstretched rally 💨
The long lower wicks on gold and silver candles clearly show buyers stepping in 🐂📊

🏦 A Conservative Fed Can’t Fix Structural Problems
Even if Warsh starts out hawkish, the Fed:

❌ Can’t fix fiscal instability

❌ Can’t solve geopolitical tensions

❌ Can’t print critical metals needed for military and industrial supply

🌍 Global supply shortages remain
🏛️ Central banks are still net buyers of gold
🧠 And once trust in the system cracks, it doesn’t return overnight

📈 Gold’s Technical Structure Still Bullish
Since 2024, gold has respected a clear bullish structure:

Ascending triangles → breakout rallies

Consolidations → new highs

The break above $4,400 triggered a powerful move toward $5,400, which was exceeded to $5,600 🚀
Friday’s historic drop to $4,679 signals high volatility, not trend failure.

🔍 What to watch next:

🟢 Consolidation likely above $4,400–$4,600

⚠️ A break below $4,400 opens downside toward $4,000

❌ Only a break below $4,000 would threaten the bull market

💵 US Dollar Adds Short-Term Uncertainty

USD rebounded from 95.50 toward 97

A move above 100.50 could delay gold’s next leg

A break below 95.50 could send the dollar toward 90, boosting gold 📉➡️🥇

Despite the bounce, the long-term USD structure remains bearish.

🥈 Silver & Ratios to Watch

Gold/Silver ratio rebounded from 45 toward 64

Short-term uncertainty, but bullish structure intact

A break below 45 could ignite a silver-led rally

Major support near 30 remains key for future tops

⚙️ Gold–Platinum Ratio Sends Warning

Ratio hit long-term support at 1.80, then rebounded above 2.20

This triggered a sharp plunge in platinum and palladium

Signals that gold may continue to outperform other metals 🥇👑

🧠 Final Thoughts
This correction does not end the gold bull market.
It resets it 🔄

🔥 Fiscal instability
🌍 Geopolitical risk
⚙️ Structural supply shortages

All remain firmly in place.

📌 As long as gold holds above $4,000, the long-term bullish trend stays intact.
Short-term caution is wise — let the dust settle before chasing entries ⏳⚠️

The next rally is being prepared… quietly 🐂✨
