# Crypto Willy's Weekly Market Breakdown

Hey everyone, Crypto Willy here, and man, what a week it's been in the crypto world. If you've been holding your breath since last weekend, you can finally exhale—though maybe just a little bit.

Let's talk about what went down on February 1st, because it was absolutely brutal. According to reports from Binance and Tapbit, Bitcoin experienced its most violent crash of the year, dropping 6.35% in a single day and touching lows around $75,687—the lowest we've seen since April 2025. That's a far cry from the nearly $125,000 all-time high Bitcoin hit back in October. The real damage came from cascading liquidations: a staggering $2.2 billion in futures got wiped out in 24 hours. Ethereum led the carnage with roughly $961 million in liquidations, while Bitcoin accounted for about $679 million. Solana wasn't spared either, dropping over 11%, with DOGE, SUI, BNB, and ADA all taking double-digit hits. The Fear & Greed Index on CoinGecko tanked to around 23, deep in "extreme fear" territory.

But here's the thing—and this is where it gets interesting—stabilization signals are actually starting to emerge. As of February 3rd, Bitcoin has bounced back to consolidate in the $78,000 to $80,000 range, holding above that critical $75,000 psychological support level. Bitcoin still dominates about 60% of the total crypto market, which now sits around $2.66 trillion. That's a $111 billion evaporation in just 24 hours, but we're seeing signs of the bleeding stopping.

Ethereum's situation is fascinating because it's sitting at a real crossroads. According to analysis from Binance, ETH needs to reclaim the $3,000 mark—both psychologically and structurally. If it breaks below the critical support at $2,690, things could get ugly with potential declines toward $2,120. On the flip side, a bullish scenario sees Ethereum targeting the $3,200 to $3,400 range this month, with technical analysts at MEXC noting that if Ethereum breaks above the $3,134 resistance level, it could fire up toward the $3,400 to $3,500 zone.

What's really telling is the institutional behavior. Despite a record influx of crypto capital in 2025, we're seeing a cautious pause in early 2026. Over $1 billion has been withdrawn from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs in January alone, with notable outflows from Ethereum funds too. Traders are rotating into stablecoins to preserve capital while waiting for macroeconomic clarity and regulatory direction.

The broader narrative here is about forced deleveraging meeting macro caution. The Asia-U.S. session overlap on February 1st created a perfect storm—thin liquidity got hit with serious selling pressure, triggering algorithmic cascades. But long-term holders and institutional players are reportedly using this dip as a buying opportunity, which is classic behavior during capitulation events.

February historically treats Ethereum pretty well, with median gains around 15% since 2016, though this year is shaping up differently. We're watching support levels at $2,690 and resistance near $3,340 and $3,520.

Hey folks, Crypto Willy here, your go-to buddy for all things blockchain, Bitcoin, and decentralized dough. Kicking off this week's crypto roundup from January 24 to 31, 2026, and man, what a rollercoaster—markets dipped hard but showed some grit amid macro mayhem.

Bitcoin hit its 2026 low at $86,000 on Sunday, per Amberdata's analysis, before clawing back to around $88,000 by Monday, thanks to global risk-off vibes from Japan's bond meltdown and Trump tariff threats on the EU. By Friday, BTC stabilized near $88,628, up 1.22% in 24 hours, as Economic Times noted, with Ethereum holding strong above $3,000 at $3,012—up 1.28%. Altcoins took a beating: ETH down 9.8% weekly to $2,922, SOL -8% to $124, AVAX and LINK both -7.3%, but XRP bucked the trend at $1.91 to $2.10 on Ripple's cross-border wins, according to Sergey Tereshkin's market update. Only WLFI eked out +0.4% gains.

Derivatives screamed caution: open interest dropped 3.1% to $75.1 billion, funding rates cooled to BTC +0.42%, ETH +0.37%, but long/short ratios stayed bullish—SOL at a wild 4.32x. Ouch on institutions, though—Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.137 billion outflows, led by BlackRock's IBIT at -$509 million and Grayscale's GBTC at -$290 million, per Amberdata. Stablecoins shrank to $267.9 billion, USDC burns hit -$3.6 billion while Tether's USDT added $864 million.

News highlights? Polymarket odds spiked to 78% for a US government shutdown by January 31 over DHS and ICE funding drama post-Minnesota incidents, fueling selloffs. White House crypto czar David Sacks pushed the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act for Senate markup, ending "regulation by enforcement," as OANDA reported. Tether froze $182 million USDT on Tron wallets to curb illicit flows, aligning with US crackdowns. SEC nailed AI Wealth and Morocoin scams defrauding $14 million last December. MarinaTimes spotted whale accumulation—231 new wallets with 10+ BTC—while BTC cleared its 50-day EMA, RSI at 58, eyeing $105k-$115k Q1 targets. DeFi TVL steady at $57.3 billion, low utilization signaling calm.

Outlook? Mixed—watch $86k BTC support, $90k resistance, Fed clarity, and shutdown resolution. Volatility normalized, longs persist, but ETF bleeds and USDC outflows scream caution. Contrarian plays amid bearish calls to $68k or lower, says AInvest.

Hey folks, Crypto Willy here, your go-to buddy for all things blockchain, Bitcoin, and decentralized dough. Let's dive into the wild week in crypto leading up to January 20, 2026—markets bounced, dipped, and teased us with breakout dreams.

Kicking off early, Binance Square's market update on January 13 showed Bitcoin cruising between $90,128 and $92,672, closing at $92,550 with a solid 1.92% pump. Global market cap hit $3.14 trillion, up 1.48%, while Ethereum ticked to $3,143 (+0.85%), Solana to $142 (+1.72%), and Dogecoin barked up 2.34% to $0.14. Standouts? DOLO surged 50%, Dash 36%, and Verge 21%. MEXC echoed the vibe, with BTC at $93,527 on bullish volume of $23.85 billion, dominance steady at 56%.

Mid-week, Coinpedia analysts eyed January upside: Bitcoin flirting with $100K-$110K on retail fear and institutional buys post-$3T floor reset; Ethereum range-bound near $2,900-$3,150, needing staking juice; XRP eyeing $1.8-$3.4, hitched to BTC's moves. Changelly's ETH forecast backed it, predicting a January average of $3,473, peaking at $3,764 by month's end.

But Friday's drama hit hard—OpenExo reported a 3% market cap wipeout to $3.21 trillion on January 19, BTC sliding 2.7% to $92,532, ETH dropping 3.6% to $3,192 amid Wave IV corrections, Greenland geopolitical jitters, and ETF outflows.

U.Today flagged an unnoticed ETH/BTC death cross at 2026's start, with ETH down 6.46% to $3,104 versus BTC's 3.12% dip to $89,991. BeInCrypto warned of ETH bulls failing at $3,309 reversal risks.

Big news drops? U.S. Senate Ag Committee delayed the crypto market structure bill; Dems launched BlueVault for crypto fans; 21Shares dropped Bitcoin-Gold ETP on London Stock Exchange. CPI anticipation and small-cap streaks added macro spice.
