Traders, take note: We are navigating one of the most sensitive correction phases of 2026. If your portfolio is seeing red today, you are not alone. Behind the scenes, a mix of economic and geopolitical "earthquakes" is shaking both Bitcoin (BTC) and Altcoins.
Here is the breakdown of the last 24 hours and what to expect next:
1. The Wall Street Contagion (Domino Effect) 📉
Yesterday (Feb 3), US markets witnessed a sharp sell-off. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 dropped over 2%, driven by "liquidity tightening" fears and disappointing earnings reports from tech giants like Nvidia and Microsoft.
The Impact: Crypto caught the contagion immediately. Investors are currently treating crypto as high-risk assets rather than a safe haven. This explains Bitcoin slipping to trade around $75,750 after losing the critical $78K level.
2. Geopolitical Tensions (US & Iran) 🇺🇸🇮🇷
Tensions have returned to the forefront following reports of the US Navy shooting down an Iranian drone. Combined with President Trump's statements on "Tariff Policies" and potential military responses, the market has entered a state of Extreme Fear.
The Decoupling: Interestingly, Gold surged 5% (acting as a true safe haven), while Bitcoin dropped. This confirms a temporary "decoupling" between Gold and BTC during moments of maximum geopolitical panic.
3. Regulatory FUD (India Budget 2026) 🇮🇳
News regarding the "Union Budget 2026" in India has added fuel to the fire. Proposals for strict penalties on unreported crypto transactions have reignited global fears regarding harsh regulations that other nations might follow.
4. Market Sentiment: Extreme Fear (15/100) 😨
The Fear & Greed Index has hit 15 (Extreme Fear).
Historical Insight: Deeply oversold zones (low RSI) are often for watching and accumulation, not panic selling. However, caution is required until the Federal Reserve's direction becomes clear under Trump’s new nominee, Kevin Warsh.
💡 The Verdict: Buy or Sell?
The market is currently testing critical support levels between $70,000 - $72,000.
Bearish Case: Breaking below this zone opens the door for a deeper drop.
Bullish Case: Holding above this level could trigger a quick "speculative" bounce.
