Correction

The post-election rally in the US was short-lived. Less than a year after the November 2024 presidential election, the crypto market has erased almost all the gains accumulated in its wake. Driven by a spectacular surge in altcoins, the sector peaked in October 2025 before sharply giving up ground. Since this peak, capitalization has fallen by about 40%, ending a bullish momentum that seemed firmly established. The electoral cycle ultimately did not fulfill its promises.

Quantum scares, bitcoin falls. But devs work, seed phrases save, and 1.7 million BTC sleep. The real question lies elsewhere.

Bitcoin is evolving in a pivotal zone. Below 70,000 dollars, the market is looking for a balance point after several weeks of pressure. A recent analysis highlights the role of investors who entered in the first half of 2024, whose positions concentrated between 60,000 and 69,000 dollars are currently stabilizing prices. Meanwhile, some traders anticipate a move toward 52,000 dollars. Between structural support and risk of breakdown, the short-term trajectory remains uncertain.

The sudden drop in bitcoin and Ethereum triggered a series of historic liquidations on Coinbase, exposing a major vulnerability in crypto lending. Within hours, millions of dollars in collateralized loans were wiped out, revealing the limits of a system designed to withstand shocks. This new episode of tension, far from anecdotal, calls into question the robustness of financing mechanisms backed by cryptos.

Bitcoin has just crossed a critical threshold that changes the game. According to CryptoQuant, the break of its 365-day moving average is no longer a mere technical signal: it marks the clear entry into a new bearish cycle. This slide occurs in a context of institutional demand withdrawal and degraded on-chain signals. The bullish momentum now seems behind, replaced by a market dynamic structured around caution, watchfulness... and the risk of prolonged decline.

In the space of 24 hours, bitcoin recorded nearly 900 million dollars of realized losses, a level never seen since the collapse of FTX in 2022. This chilling figure, from on-chain data, illustrates much more than a simple drop, but marks a brutal turning point in investor sentiment. Such a massive and sudden wave of loss-making sales signals a new phase of capitulation, revealing the persistent fragility of a market still far from regaining its balance.

Bitcoin bounced back on February 6, crossing 70,000 $ again after falling below 60,800 $ a few hours earlier.

The crypto market has just crossed a critical threshold at the beginning of this year. On Thursday, January 29, 2026, bitcoin abruptly fell below $83,000, triggering a wave of sales that wiped out the last hopes for stabilization. Such a drop occurs in an already tense macroeconomic climate, where investors are reducing their exposure to risky assets. More than a simple technical pullback, this movement revives fears of a deeper correction.

Bitcoin falls to around $85,200, its lowest level at the beginning of the year, in a climate of widespread tension in the markets.

XRP is once again worrying analysts. A rare technical signal, identical to the one that preceded a 68% drop in 2022, has reappeared. As tensions return to the crypto market, this alert strengthens fears of a major pullback. At the same time, massive XRP ETF outflows increase the pressure on Ripple's crypto. Is history repeating itself?

Bitcoin just broke a key threshold below $90,000, reigniting doubts about the market's strength. Between massive profit-taking by long-term holders and liquidity inflows from whales, selling pressure intensifies. Buyers struggle to contain the drop amid this shock.

The American dollar has lost 10.41% of its value over this year. A significant drop for the world's main reserve currency, amidst economic tensions and loss of confidence. Meanwhile, gold and silver have seen spectacular rises, becoming safe haven assets again.

As the crypto market closes a year under high tension, XRP takes a sharp turn.

While the crypto sector anticipates a prolonged bullish cycle, supported by the arrival of institutional investors and a maturing regulatory framework, a major voice disrupts this consensus. Jurrien Timmer, Director of Macro Research at Fidelity, speaks of a break in momentum. According to him, Bitcoin could pause in 2026, not at a peak, but around a technical pullback. A projection that challenges the prevailing euphoria and invites reconsideration of the medium-term market trajectory.

Despite strong institutional demand and nearly a billion dollars injected into XRP ETFs, the token fell below the symbolic $2 threshold. While incoming flows multiply, the spot market remains under pressure. This divergence between fundamentals and price is striking. Why is XRP falling while major investors are buying?

While macroeconomic uncertainties weigh on this year’s end, every move of the Federal Reserve is closely watched. Last Wednesday, the Fed cut its rates for the third consecutive time, causing an immediate reaction in the crypto market. Bitcoin jumped beyond 93,000 dollars, driven by a renewed appetite for risk. This unexpected rebound, against the backdrop of looser monetary policy, raises as many expectations as doubts.

While the entire crypto market is showing signs of stabilization at the end of the year, XRP sends an atypical and potentially worrying signal. Its funding rate on perpetual contracts plunged to -20%, a threshold rarely reached even during high volatility periods. This configuration reflects a marked imbalance: short positions dominate while bulls seem to be withdrawing from the game. In a market so sensitive to liquidity and sentiment signals, this anomaly deserves special attention.

Bitcoin slipped below $90,000 at Wall Street's opening, wiping out gains made in Asia. This reversal comes despite signs of accumulation on exchanges, revealing a gap between short-term moves and a long-term holding trend.

What if the market was massively wrong about bitcoin? For André Dragosch, head of research at Bitwise Europe, the current context oddly resembles that of March 2020, during the crash caused by the pandemic. In a tense post-halving climate and facing contradictory macroeconomic signals, he believes bitcoin today offers one of its best risk/reward profiles since the health crisis. This statement shakes certainties and reignites the debate on the timing of market entry.
