🚨 Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Plummets! 🚨 On February 8, 2026, Bitcoin’s mining
difficulty dropped sharply by 11.16%, falling to 125.86 trillion. This marks the largest negative adjustment since the 2021 China mining ban.
Here’s why this happened:
🌨 Severe Winter Storms
Winter Storm Fern in the U.S. forced major mining operations in Texas and other regions to cut power, leading to a significant drop in network hashrate.
📉 Bitcoin Price Pressure
BTC fell from $126,000 in October to around $69,500, squeezing miner margins and causing many less-efficient miners to exit the market.
💰 Mining Profitability Hits Record Lows
The “hashprice” — a measure of daily mining revenue — dropped to $33–$35 per PH/s, below the $40 breakeven point for many miners.
🤖 Operational Shifts
Some major mining firms, like Bitfarms, are now repurposing hardware for AI workloads to maintain steady revenue streams.
⚖ Self-Correcting Market
While the drop reflects stress in the market, it reduces competition for remaining miners and may improve their profitability, signaling a potential local market bottom.
📅 Next Difficulty Adjustment
The network is expected to increase difficulty by 12–15% around February 20, 2026 as block times begin to speed up again.
💡 Takeaway

BTC Price Update:
BTC: $67,630.33 (-3.15%)
BTCUSDT Perp: $67,601.5 (-3.08%)

Cardano ($ADA ) is preparing a surprise: Why is the old "dinosaur" back in the game? 🦖
Cardano ($ADA ) unexpectedly burst into the top discussions on Binance Square. The asset shows abnormal growth in transaction volume among large holders (addresses holding over 1 million ADA).
According to Investing.com, over the past week, the activity of "whales" in the Cardano network has increased by 30%, which usually precedes significant price movements.
Despite the skepticism of many traders, ADA maintains key support and is forming a base for a rebound. As reported by ForkLog, the development of the DeFi sector in the Cardano ecosystem has finally begun to bear fruit in the form of real liquidity. This is a classic example of a "forgotten" asset that can take off just when people have stopped talking about it.
ADA now looks like an interesting option for diversifying a portfolio amid the stagnation of other altcoins, don't miss your chance.

Bitcoin: False breakout or preparation for capitulation? 📉
Bitcoin ($BTC ) continues to test investors' nerves.
Today, the price is trying to hold above $67,200. According to Investing.com, the BTC dominance index has started to decline, but capital is not flowing into altcoins; instead, it is moving into stablecoins. Traders note the formation of a 'bear flag' on the 4-hour chart, indicating the risk of testing the $65,400 level.
As reported by ForkLog, spot ETFs recorded a net outflow of $110 million in one day. This indicates caution among large players ahead of the release of new macroeconomic data from the USA. Right now, we are witnessing a struggle for liquidity: the market is gathering stop-losses, preparing the ground for the next big move.
The $67,000 level remains critical — its loss could intensify panic.

Розворот близько? Екстремальний страх досяг піка 🧭
Сьогодні індекс «Страху та Жадібності» опустився до 12 пунктів.
За даними CoinMarketCap, такі значення історично передували великим відскокам ринку.
Досвідчені трейдери зазначають, що поточна ситуація виглядає як фінальне очищення ринку від слабких рук перед початком нового циклу.
Як повідомляє Investing.com, соціальні медіа переповнені песимізмом, що часто є «зворотним індикатором» для великого капіталу.
ForkLog нагадує: коли на ринку панує тотальна зневіра, зазвичай народжуються найкращі можливості для входу.
Поточна ситуація — це іспит на терпіння. Ті, хто зможе втриматися від емоційних продажів на самому дні, зазвичай отримують найбільшу винагороду при відновленні.

While Bitcoin Dominates, ETH Is Losing Market Share, Falling to Its Lowest Levels Against BTC in Years. According to ForkLog, Developers Are Preparing Another Scalping Phase, But the Market Is So Far Ignoring This Fundamental News Due to General Pessimism.

Anomaly of the Day: Capitalization of Stablecoins is Rising. Where is the Strike Prepared? 🛡️
While the prices of top assets fluctuate, the total capitalization of stablecoins ($USDT, $USDC) has increased by $1.2 billion over the last day. According to analysts, this is an anomalous phenomenon against the backdrop of a ‘red’ market.
Typically, such an influx of liquidity indicates that large players are preparing ‘ammo’ for mass purchasing of assets at low prices.
As reported by Investing.com, the dominance of stablecoins has reached a local peak, which often precedes a reversal of the entire crypto market.
ForkLog adds that the turnover rate of USDT on exchanges has increased by 20%, indicating investors' readiness for active actions. This is a ‘silent anomaly’ that most traders ignore, focusing only on falling charts.
In fact, the market is accumulating strength for a powerful impulse. The only question is which asset will become the main beneficiary of this liquidity.

Bitcoin on the edge: Will it withstand the pressure of the "bears" at the level of $67,500? 📉
The market situation remains critical.
Today, February 11, Bitcoin ($BTC ) continues to trade in a dangerous zone near $67,800.
According to Investing.com, institutional investors have taken a wait-and-see position, leading to a 12% decrease in daily trading volume. The fear index has stabilized at 18, which still signals panic sentiments among retail.
As analysts note, a local corridor is forming between $67,500 and $69,200. Breaking the lower boundary could open the way to cascading liquidations.
ForkLog reports that miners have begun to transfer part of their assets to exchanges, which traditionally creates additional pressure on the price. The market is holding its breath in anticipation of the inflation report in the U.S., which will be a key trigger for the next big move.
So far, BTC is showing weakness, but history shows that the most powerful rebounds often start from such levels.

Financial Curtain: The EU prepares a full ban on crypto transactions with the Russian Federation 🚫
The European Commission is initiating a radical step — a complete ban on any cryptocurrency operations between EU countries and the Russian Federation.
According to Investing.com, this measure is aimed at closing loopholes for circumventing sanctions through digital assets. As reported by ForkLog, the restrictions will not only apply to centralized exchanges but may also encompass interactions with non-custodial wallets.
Analysts are already predicting a liquidity outflow and increased regulatory pressure on crypto companies operating in the European jurisdiction. This decision could set a precedent for the global market, forcing platforms to implement stricter geolocation monitoring systems. The crypto world, which has sought decentralization, is increasingly facing geopolitical realities.

Death of Altcoins? BTC Dominance Reaches Highest Level Since 2022 🧱
The current market picture looks bleak for altcoin holders. Bitcoin's dominance has jumped to 59.2%, which is the highest level in the last three years. According to ForkLog, this has caused the ETH/BTC pair to drop to a 9-month low. Investors are fleeing to Bitcoin en masse, viewing it as the only relatively safe asset during the 'perfect storm'.
Anomaly of the Week: Why is BNB showing strength while the market is falling? 🛡️
Against the backdrop of a general market collapse, Binance Coin ($BNB ) demonstrates unexpected resilience. While BTC and ETH are losing about 3-5%, BNB holds its ground, adding around +1% in the last day. According to the analysis, this growth is supported by the launch of new projects on Launchpool, which compel users to accumulate and stake the token, creating a supply shortage.
Capitulation or Reversal? Bitcoin is searching for a bottom at $68,000 📉
Today's morning has brought another wave of tension: Bitcoin ($BTC ) has fallen below the psychological mark and is currently trading around $68,160. According to Investing.com, in the last 24 hours, positions worth $397 million have been liquidated in the market, with the 'razor' affecting both longs and shorts. The fear and greed index has dropped to an extreme 14 points.
Hashrate is falling, but profit is rising? The paradox of mining in February ⛏️
The mining sector continues to be in turmoil. Due to winter storms in the USA and the fall in BTC prices, the overall network capacity has decreased by 12%. However, according to #MiningUpdates , this led to an unexpected effect: the mining difficulty has dropped, which has increased profitability for those who remained in the network. Currently, mining profitability (hash price) is trying to stabilize after record declines last week.
Anomaly of the Day: Ripple ($XRP) Ignores Gravity and Prepares for $2.00 🚀
While most assets are "bleeding out", XRP demonstrates remarkable strength. Today, February 9, the coin is trading at $1.56, adding over +6% in a day amid a general crash. $XRP has become the leader in trading volume among altcoins, as investors view it as a "safe haven" due to positive expectations from the outcome of the SEC case.
Buy fear: Why Solana ($SOL ) below $100 is your best ticket? 🎯
When the streets of the "crypto-city" are in panic — it's time to act.
Solana ($SOL ) has dropped to $99 today.
Despite recent security incidents in the ecosystem, the fundamental metrics of the network remain strong. According to Investing.com, development activity on Solana has increased by 15% since the beginning of the year, which is overlooked by the current price due to overall pessimism.
This is a classic "oversold" situation. Institutional buyers are already starting to accumulate SOL in the $95-$100 range. We believe this is the perfect moment to enter the asset with growth potential up to $150 by the end of the quarter.
Solana below $100 is a gift that the market offers very rarely. Take this chance while the crowd is fearful!

Week in Review: Why the market lost $2 trillion and where to seek salvation? 📉
Last week was a true 'black February' for the crypto industry. According to Investing.com, the total market capitalization fell to $2.54 trillion, losing over 4% in just the last 24 hours. Bitcoin ($BTC ) tested a critical zone, and the fear and greed index dropped to the mark (extreme fear). The main drivers of the decline were macroeconomic uncertainty in the US and increased regulatory pressure in China.
Ethereum is losing positions: The dominance of stablecoins is increasing 🛡️
While the market tries to find support, Ethereum ($ETH ) shows weakness relative to Bitcoin. The ETH/BTC pair has dropped to multi-month lows, and the price of Ether is trying to hold above $2,050. According to ForkLog, investors are massively moving into "safe assets," which is confirmed by the increase in the market capitalization of stablecoins ($USDT and $USDC ) to $309 billion.
Mining difficulty has decreased by 11%: Relief for the market or a signal of alarm? ⛏️
Today, February 8, one of the largest adjustments to the difficulty of the Bitcoin network in 2026 took place — the indicator decreased by 11%. This was a direct result of mass equipment shutdowns by miners due to low profitability. The current hash rate remains near historical lows, forcing even large data centers in the USA to operate at the brink of loss.
Bitcoin on the edge: Will the $68,000 level become the new bottom? 📉
The last day has been a real test for holders of the first cryptocurrency. After a brief rebound, Bitcoin ($BTC ) found itself under pressure again, trading in a narrow range around $70,100. According to Investing.com, the fear and greed index is stuck at 18 (extreme fear). Analysts link the current stagnation to expectations of inflation data in the U.S., which will be released next week.
