The crypto markets are showing continued volatility as we enter February. Bitcoin has recently slipped below the $80,000 mark, pressured by macroeconomic uncertainty and risk-off sentiment following major central bank leadership changes and geopolitical tensions — leading to increased selling pressure and fear in the market.

🔹 Market Sentiment: Fear still dominates as investors reassess risk exposure. Recent dips have triggered liquidations and broken key support levels, adding to bearish pressure across major assets. (mint)
🔹 Bitcoin (BTC): Currently trading near ~$78,500 and facing downward momentum. (mint)
🔹 Ethereum (ETH): Also showing weakness alongside BTC in this risk-off environment. (mint)
🔹 Binance Coin (BNB): Price action reflects wider market trends, with BNB still widely used on Binance for reduced fees, utility and ecosystem participation. Market forecasts show mixed technical signals but see potential upside if resistance levels are reclaimed. (MEXC)
