Data from decades shows a rule that is almost 'immutable':
Bitcoin has never closed negatively in both January and February in the same year!
🔶 January is usually a 'positive kickoff' month (average +2.81%, median +0.29%).
🔶 February is even stronger (average +11.27%, median +11.68%) – usually the darkest green month at the beginning of the year.

But the year 2026 is breaking all the rules:
🔴 January 2026: -10.17%
🔴 February 2026 (ongoing): -12.72% (still red, and the month isn't over yet!)

Looking at this long-term chart gives me chills:
Bitcoin is terrifyingly recreating the old cycle structure of 2017 and 2021!

🔶 From the peak in 2017 to the bottom in 2018: down -84.9%
🔶 From the peak in 2021 to the bottom in 2022: down -77.15%
🔶 Latest peak 2025–2026: 126K → If the average correction level of ~77–80% repeats → the price could reach the range of 25K–35K before starting a new upward cycle!
Currently:
🔶 The price is currently below the long-term trend line

If you are following the liquidation map on Coinglass/Binance BTC/USDT Perpetual, you have definitely seen this picture:

Current price: ~66,241 USD
🔴Above the current price: Short liquidation is quite thin, total cumulative short leverage is only a few tens of millions up to ~100M at higher levels.
🟢Below the current price: Long liquidation is dense, especially in the ranges of 65k–64k, 63k–62k, and extends deeper with hundreds of millions up to a total of billions of USD in Long positions at risk of being swept if the price tests again.

Binance just executed an additional purchase of 4,545 BTC (worth approximately 304.58 million USD) a few hours ago, bringing the total holdings of the SAFU fund to 15,000 BTC, equivalent to about 1.005 billion USD (at the current BTC price).

This move completes the plan announced on 30/01/2026: to transfer the entire 1 billion USD reserve of stablecoins in the user protection fund (SAFU) to Bitcoin within 30 days.
In fact, Binance has completed it in just 10 days with gradual purchases on the dip:

THE WHALE IS 'SINKING' WITH A LONG ETH ORDER OF 115 MILLION DOLLARS - 15X LEVERAGE: SMART MONEY OR IS THE 'SHARK' SUBMITTING TO THE EXCHANGE?

Lately, the whale alert bot has been ringing continuously, many people are blindly all-in following the big whales. But look at this 'huge' order, don't rush to FOMO or you'll get wrecked!
This is a Long ETH position worth ~115 million USD using 15x leverage. Entry price: $2,059
But the current reality (February 2026):
🔸ETH price is hovering around $1,930 - $1,950 (dumping hard ~5% in 24h).

3.5 BILLION USD DUMPED STRAIGHT ONTO THE HEADS IN JUST 20 MINUTES: THE BIG PLAYERS ARE “DUMPING” SMALL ONES ALL AT ONCE!
$BTC recently dropped back to the 66,500$ mark – everyone is rushing to read about the FED, war, interest rates… But at this point, perhaps it’s best to throw away those newspapers!
The on-chain money flow is the “most honest speaker.” Look at this data to understand why your account is “vanishing” horrifically.

Evidence of a “coordinated dump”: In just 20 minutes, more than 3.5 billion USD in BTC was dumped straight onto the heads of the Longs:

The Lending Volume on AAVE Exceeds 1 Billion USD Since 20/1/2026 – Expanded Operating Range, What Signal for the Market?
Let's take a look back at the Lending & Borrowing data on AAVE – one of the leading DeFi platforms:

🔸 Since 20/1/2026 until now (12/2/2026), the total loan amount has exceeded 1 billion USD!

🔸Borrowers started when BTC was ~90,000 USD and ETH was ~3,100 USD, extending through the current strong price drop period.
🔸Typically, during periods of high volatility, the lending wallet addresses operate within a narrow range: 5,000–7,000 USD/BTC and 500–700 USD/ETH.

Goldman Sachs Increases Crypto Stake to 2.36 Billion USD – Despite Reducing BTC & ETH, Still “All-in” XRP & Solana!

Goldman Sachs – the world's sixth largest asset manager – just announced in its Q4/2025 13F report submitted to the SEC:

Total investment in crypto ETF funds reached 2.36 billion USD, accounting for 0.33% of the investment portfolio, and increased by 15% compared to the previous quarter despite the crypto market undergoing significant adjustments.
Detailed allocation:
🔸Bitcoin ETF: Approximately 1.1 billion USD (still a pillar, although reduced compared to the previous quarter due to rebalance).

Launched around April 2025, USD1 has officially entered the top 5 stablecoins with a market cap exceeding $5.3 billion (currently ~$5.3–5.37B), ranked 18–20 across the market on CoinMarketCap!

Comparing to help you visualize the “huge” speed:
🔸 Bitcoin (BTC): Took ~12 years to reach a market cap of about $5 billion.
🔸 Ethereum (ETH): Took 5–6 years to reach a similar milestone.
👉 USD1: Just ~10 months to exceed $5.3 billion – faster than the “founder” of crypto!

On 10/2/2026, Tether Treasury burned (permanently destroyed) 3.5 billion USDT on the Ethereum network – one of the largest burns in stablecoin history!
According to Whale Alert and confirmation from CEO Paolo Ardoino:
🔸 The burn transaction was carried out directly from the official treasury address.
🔸 No signs of chainswap or chain transfers related (like previous times with HTX recovery on Tron/Eth).
🔸 No new minting compensating on other chains (in contrast to some recent burns with minting on Tron).

On the afternoon of February 10, 2026, at the White House, an important meeting took place between major banks and crypto companies to discuss the new bill.
The center of the debate is whether stablecoins (stable-value currencies, like USDT or USDC) are allowed to pay interest or rewards to users.

What is happening?
🔹On the bank's side (like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs…): They worry that if stablecoins offer interest or rewards, people will withdraw money from bank accounts to move to crypto – leading to an imbalance in the traditional financial system.

A few days ago, Jemima Kelly (Financial Times) published a stormy article on FT: “Bitcoin is worth 0.” CNBC invited her on air to confront – and the result… was even more shocking!

Highlight of the interview:
❓The host opens “friendly”:

“Many guests have previously predicted BTC to reach 1 million USD to attract attention, while she talks about 0. So according to her, what is a reasonable price for Bitcoin?”
🗣️ Jemima still stands firm: 0 USD.

The latest comments on CNBC (Squawk on the Street), Jim Cramer – the famous “king of predictions” (and often referred to as “inverse Cramer”) – revealed that he “heard” from a source in the financial world that:

President Donald Trump may start buying Bitcoin when the price hits $60,000 to supplement the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (the national BTC reserve that Trump ordered to be established by executive order).

Cramer clarified:
