CRYPTO CORE™ | Market Cycle Insight Bitcoin’s monthly chart is not random. It has respected the same macro cycle every single time since 2013. No emotions. No hype. Just structure. 📌 The pattern: • ~2 years of steady accumulation and growth • ~1 year of explosive bull expansion • ~1 year of corrective bear phase The last bull leg peaked around October 2025. By cycle logic, that phase is now complete. 📉 What comes next (if history continues to rhyme): • Short-term consolidation around the $75k–$85k zone • Extended volatility and distribution • Potential downside toward the $50k area into late 2026 This does NOT mean crypto is dead. It means we are entering a phase where smart positioning, patience, and risk management matter more than hype trades. At CRYPTO CORE™, we don’t chase tops.

🟠 The ETF market sheds $410m, Standard Chartered cuts Bitcoin target
US spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to lose money — on Thursday, $410.4m flowed out of the funds. The week is already down $375m, and if there are no inflows on Friday, this will be the fourth consecutive week of outflows.
AUM has fallen to ~$80bn versus a peak of nearly $170bn in October 2025.
📉 Standard Chartered lowers forecast The bank cut its 2026 BTC target from $150K to $100K and allows for a drop to $50K before recovery. For ETH, the forecast is $1,400 at the bottom and $4,000 by year-end.
The wording is tough: “capitulation” is possible in the coming months.
💸 Who is losing the most — BlackRock IBIT: −$157.6m — Fidelity FBTC: −$104.1m — Ether ETF: −$113m in one day — XRP ETF: first outflows since February 3 — Solana ETF — the only one in positive territory (+$2.7m)
🔎 Is the bottom not reached yet? CryptoQuant believes the key support is around $55K. Cycle indicators are in a bearish phase, but not in “extreme bear,” which historically precedes the final bottom.
BTC is trading around $66K, LTHs are selling near breakeven. Historically, final reversals formed when long-term holders were down −30–40%.
📌 Conclusion ETF capital is leaving, banks are cutting targets, the cycle remains bearish. There are no signs of panic capitulation yet — which means the market may require an even more painful flush before a real reversal.
$BTC TET is coming and I’m about to head into the longest holiday of the year. Funny enough, almost every single time Lunar New Year shows up, $BTC tends to do the same dance — a quick flash dump right around the holiday, then a recovery a few days later once the dust settles. It’s like a seasonal ritual at this point. Maybe it’s because all the homies around my region suddenly have fresh cash and start bottom fishing during family gatherings… who knows 😆 Either way, market never sleeps, but traders definitely do during TET. Let’s see if $BTC keeps the tradition alive this year.
