After a strong pump and reaching a key resistance level, the price faced a clear bearish reaction from that zone.
At this stage, I expect a notable cooldown, with price likely retracing toward the ближайший значимый уровень поддержки (nearest significant support level).
A major market participant, Jump Crypto, managing approximately $700 million in capital, has reportedly sold most of its altcoin holdings today and reallocated into just three assets: Ethereum ($ETH ), Solana ($SOL ), and Litentry ($LIT ).
The whale appears to be restructuring its portfolio, concentrating only on what it considers the most resilient altcoins at this stage of the market cycle. The rationale is straightforward: these assets are viewed as having a higher probability of delivering meaningful returns over time, unlike many smaller cap tokens that have already suffered near total drawdowns.
The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing the largest capital outflows since 2022.
Funds are leaving the market at one of the fastest paces seen since the previous bear cycle. Positions continue to shrink, and stablecoin growth has effectively stalled.
In simple terms, very little new capital is entering the market right now.
However, from a medium to long term perspective, this can actually be viewed as a positive signal. Periods like this typically involve market cooling, the flushing out of excessive leverage, and gradual liquidity accumulation. Historically, such phases have often preceded major trend reversals.
Moreover, building positions during these conditions has frequently proven to be one of the most advantageous strategies over the long run.
🗣 Are Altcoins in Free Fall — Is This the Final Stage of the Cycle?
▪️ Analysts at CryptoQuant report record selling pressure in the altcoin market over the past five years. The cumulative buy sell volume delta (excluding Ethereum) has reached $209 billion.
This metric has remained negative for 13 consecutive months. While in January 2025 demand nearly matched supply, the market has since shifted into a persistent one sided flow sustained net capital outflows from centralized exchanges.
Experts stress that the $209B figure alone does not indicate a market bottom. Rather, it reflects a structural absence of consistent demand.
▪️ Data from Santiment shows a surge in negative social sentiment, with bearish mentions reaching their highest level since the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president.
▪️ Crypto analyst Willy Woo argues that Bitcoin is reinforcing the bearish structure. According to him, rising volatility signals the development of a downward phase, and meaningful trend weakening is more likely only after volatility reaches peak levels typically seen in the mid-to-late stage of a cycle.
▪️ Earlier, trading firm Wintermute noted that retail investors are reducing exposure to altcoins and rotating capital back into Bitcoin and Ethereum.
☝️ Conclusion: The altcoin market remains under sustained pressure, and there are currently no confirmed signals of a durable reversal.
Blockchain payment index ranking were released and Solana is ranked First while Ethereum 5th…
A data scientist developed a system to determine payment efficiency of all chains, Alex in his X has today posted the top 12 blockchain in rank measuring performance in term of payment efficiency here are the results At the top is Solana saying it has the highest overall score it ranks 4th in speed and 5th in stablecoin liquidity provision and that it has solid liquidity but lags behind Tron and Ethereum The second place is polygon has excellent performance in terms of speed my take is that they increase the number of transactions At third is Stellar and has the lowest transactions of any blockchain he says it was built for cross chain and still has a huge institutional adoption, however it has low stablecoin liquidity At fourth is Tron Tron has high stablecoins liquidity a leader in P2P payment however one critical weakness was it's high transactions fees And at 5th is Ethereum which has the highest stablecoin liquidity highest volume but lacks behind in speed and has high transactions fees he then went ahead to explain how he examine them clearly and the metrics used.
Companies have started competing over who offers the “most prestigious” lunches luxury dining is becoming a new tool to attract and retain employees.
First, high quality food is a strong incentive not only to come into the office but also to socialize more with colleagues over a plate of truffle pasta. However, the main driver behind menu upgrades is cost optimization.
It is often easier to invest in an impressive corporate cafeteria than to significantly increase payroll budgets. That’s why tech giants such as Google and Microsoft have made food services part of their HR strategy.
Ukraine has imposed a new package of sanctions against Alexander Lukashenko, President Belarus, President Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced.
According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine will significantly intensify countermeasures against all forms of Lukashenko’s support that contribute to the killing of Ukrainians.
“In the second half of 2025, Russian forces deployed a system of signal relay transmitters on the territory of Belarus to control strike drones. This expanded the Russian army’s capability to launch attacks on our northern regions from the Kyiv region to Volyn.
Some of the strikes, particularly against energy infrastructure and railway facilities in our regions, would not have been possible without such assistance from Belarus,” he explained.
‼️ Russia reportedly offered the US the “greatest deal,” which could supposedly earn Putin and Trump Nobel Prizes, — The Economist…
What’s known: 📍 A Russian Security Council document states that implementing the deal could bring Nobel Prizes to the presidents of Russia and the US. 📍 According to Volodymyr Zelensky, citing Ukrainian intelligence, Moscow allegedly proposed $12 trillion in economic agreements to Washington in exchange for sanctions relief. 📍 The US was offered participation in Arctic oil and gas extraction, rare earth metals development, nuclear powered data centers, and the construction of a tunnel under the Bering Strait. Putin also suggested returning Exxon Mobil assets worth $5 billion. 📍 According to The Economist, Trump’s representatives are most interested in megaprojects that could reshape global commodity markets. 📍 The Kremlin emphasizes “Arctic resource components,” allegedly attracting dozens of international investment funds. 📍 Experts and former US officials, however, consider the Kremlin’s estimates highly exaggerated, and the promised trillions unrealistic. 📍 Even in the most optimistic scenario, potential financial flows are estimated at roughly $340 billion per year far below the claimed $12 trillion. 📍 The Economist views the idea that US companies could extract trillions of dollars’ worth of resources in the Russian Arctic as fantastical. 📍 The publication warns that economic rapprochement could help the Russian economy recover and create conditions for a new war. 📍 The Economist’s conclusion: the US president should carefully review the Kremlin’s proposal and reject it.
💪🇺🇦 The Air Force demonstrated the impressive work of F-16s against an enemy target…
On the night of February 14 (from 18:30 on February 13), the Russian army attacked Ukraine with about 70 Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. The attack was repelled by aviation, air defense missile units, electronic warfare and drone units, and mobile fire groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
F-16 fighters were also involved. The press service of the Ukrainian Air Force showed how the jets intercepted the Russian threat from the air.
We continue to trade passively within a sideways channel, without any significant spikes. The market is “simmering” in one place, building the necessary liquidity for the next breakout, which, in our case, should occur to the upside.
Right now, I’m prioritizing a move toward resistance around $71K from the current sideways range of $68–64K. However, as I’ve noted before, this impulse like previous ones may not appear immediately, but only after an extended period of consolidation. This is exactly what we are starting to observe now.
Prolonged sideways movement increases negative market sentiment, gradually raising the number of short positions. Ultimately, this creates strong fuel for further upward movement, which, as usual, will go against the crowd’s expectations. This factor, combined with historical market fear, a strong prior sell-off, and historically oversold levels, should push the market higher in the near future.
🇺🇸 Arizona Advances Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Bill…
The Arizona Senate Finance Committee approved bill SB1649 (4–2), which provides for the creation of a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund. The bill explicitly includes XRP in the list of digital assets allowed to be held in the state’s reserve.
💼 The law would allow the state treasurer to store, invest, and provide custodial services for digital assets, including those confiscated or transferred to the state. The use of regulated ETFs and advanced custodial solutions is also permitted.
The bill still needs to go through further legislative stages, but its advancement has already strengthened XRP’s position at the institutional level.
The war between Russia and Ukraine will not end in 2026, — said the CEO of Rheinmetall.
➡️ Russia is not interested in ending it, Ukraine needs support, and Rheinmetall is ready to supply additional equipment; ➡️ Rheinmetall can provide more air defense systems, ammunition, drones, and tanks, but funding is not yet secured for all directions; ➡️ German manufacturers have increased their revenue by 36% amid the war in Ukraine.
The European Commission has opened proceedings against Chinese fashion giant Shein for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA), — said the European Commission.
The main reasons: manipulative platform design, non-transparent recommendation algorithms, and the sale of prohibited and dangerous products, including items resembling sex dolls for children.
“In the EU, illegal goods are banned whether sold in a physical store or on an online marketplace,” said European Commission Executive Vice-President Henne Virkkunen.
Shein has over 45 million users in the EU and is classified as a very large online platform (VLOP). The investigation is being conducted by the European Commission together with the Irish regulator Coimisiún na Meán (the company is registered in the EU).
If found in violation, the company could face a fine of up to 6% of its global annual turnover.
