The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a new phase of instability, with XRP at the forefront. Within a few hours, its price saw a dramatic drop of 31%, before rebounding with a similar intensity. This extreme movement has created doubt among investors, torn between hope for a recovery and fear of a mere technical bounce. In this context, Bollinger Bands, a key technical indicator, are delivering mixed signals. If XRP manages to stabilize above its median threshold, a new bullish momentum could emerge. Conversely, a return to recent lows remains a credible hypothesis. This extreme volatility puts investors in a decisive position: to hold their positions betting on a recovery or to reduce their exposure to limit risks.

In an unprecedented turn for American economic policy, Donald Trump has signed a presidential decree that creates a national sovereign wealth fund, a groundbreaking initiative in the United States. This financial instrument aims to stimulate economic growth, fund strategic infrastructure, and potentially enable the acquisition of TikTok. The platform, under scrutiny from Washington for national security reasons, must divest itself of its Chinese shareholders in order to continue operations on American soil. Drawing inspiration from the sovereign wealth fund models of China, Norway, and Singapore, the Trump administration hopes to reduce U.S. dependence on borrowing and enhance its global economic influence. However, the establishment of such a mechanism raises numerous questions: how could a country that is accumulating massive budget deficits finance such a project? What would be the geopolitical implications of a direct intervention in a globally significant technology company? Balancing economic ambition with diplomatic challenges, this sovereign wealth fund represents a major shift that could redefine the role of the American state on the international stage.

Trade tensions between the United States and its major partners have resurfaced, reviving the specter of a new economic war. Washington has announced an increase in tariffs targeting Canada, Mexico, and China, a decision that marks the return of the protectionism favored by Donald Trump. This tariff offensive has immediately sparked reactions everywhere, particularly in Europe, where the European Commission is closely monitoring the situation. Although the European Union is not yet directly affected, Brussels fears an expansion of American measures and warns that it will not remain passive. The Commission has already expressed its strong disagreement with this policy and states that it is ready to adopt retaliatory measures to protect the continent's economic interests. In the face of this new trade offensive from the United States, the risk of escalation between the two blocs cannot be ruled out.

The crypto market is going through a period of instability, and Solana (SOL) is on the front lines. Since February 1st, the drop of Bitcoin below $100,000 has caused a shockwave across altcoins. Solana, whose price moves in strong correlation with BTC, has seen its price fall below the critical threshold of $200. The impact has not been limited to price declines: investors have massively reduced their exposure, leading to a withdrawal of $367 million from spot markets in three days. This massive liquidation has reversed market sentiment, as evidenced by a long/short ratio dropping to 0.93, confirming seller dominance. While technical indicators signal sustained bearish pressure, a break of current support levels could send Solana to new lows, unless a sudden surge in demand comes to reverse the trend.

The crypto market has just experienced an unprecedented financial tsunami. In 24 hours, 2.24 billion dollars evaporated under the blows of trade wars, propelling Ethereum to the forefront of a historic debacle. A massive liquidation, driven by Donald Trump's surprise announcement on customs duties, shattered the records of the FTX crisis and the COVID-19 crash. Behind these dizzying numbers, over 730,000 traders saw their positions turned to ashes. How could a political tweet shake a decentralized ecosystem? Let's dive into the machinery of this debacle.

On February 3, 2025, Bitcoin reached a local low of $91,530 before rebounding to $95,306 later in the day. This decline comes after China, Canada, and Mexico promised severe retaliatory measures in response to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. These measures have rekindled fears of a global trade war, prompting investors to shy away from risky assets, including cryptocurrencies.

The crypto market is experiencing significant instability, and XRP is bearing the brunt of it. Indeed, the asset linked to Ripple has plunged by 25%, reaching an unprecedented low in several weeks. This brutal correction is not limited to XRP. Bitcoin has dropped by 6.35%, while Dogecoin has recorded nearly a 25% loss. This widespread pullback can be explained by an explosive cocktail of economic tensions and heightened speculative movements. The uncertainty surrounding traditional financial markets, particularly in the United States, fuels crypto volatility. In this context, one question remains: is XRP beginning a new descent, or is this a strategic low for opportunistic investors?

The United States is reviving trade tensions with its major economic partners. Donald Trump has just announced massive new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, and is reigniting an aggressive protectionist policy. Presented as a response to the fight against fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration, this decision primarily fits into a broader strategy aimed at renegotiating North American trade agreements and protecting the American industry from Chinese competition. This escalation has immediately provoked a virulent reaction from the targeted countries, which are already preparing retaliatory measures, foreshadowing a new economic showdown with uncertain consequences.

The stablecoin market has just crossed a historic milestone, reaching a market capitalization of over $200 billion. This rapid progression reflects a growing interest from investors in these dollar-backed assets, often perceived as a more stable alternative amidst the volatility of cryptocurrencies. While Tether (USDT) still dominates the market with $139.4 billion, the current dynamics indicate a rise of USDC, whose capitalization has more than doubled in three months. This shift in balance raises strategic questions: are we witnessing a mere redistribution of capital or a precursor signal of a major turning point for the crypto market?

Financial markets sometimes hold paradoxes. While Bitcoin is experiencing a new surge, surpassing the symbolic threshold of 100,000 dollars, one surprising element stands out: the absence of individual investors. After the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the Bitcoin futures market witnessed a rapid rise, with an increase of 1.2 billion dollars in just 24 hours. However, instead of widespread enthusiasm, the data reveals a significant retreat of small investors, whose activity has dropped by 50% since November 2024. This phenomenon highlights a profound transformation in the market, where financial institutions are taking over from individuals. Should we see this as a mere cyclical adjustment or a lasting change in the evolution of Bitcoin?

Court decisions regarding cryptocurrencies play a key role in the evolution of sector regulation. Indeed, when it comes to stolen funds, the issue becomes even more sensitive, as it pits the principle of confiscation against that of restitution to the victims. The case of the Bitfinex hack in 2016, one of the largest Bitcoin thefts in history, crystallizes these tensions. After the seizure of 94,643 BTC by US authorities, the courts are questioning the appropriateness of returning them to Bitfinex. Such a decision could create a major legal precedent, which would influence the future management of cryptocurrencies seized by the courts.

Bitcoin has experienced a significant drop, falling below the symbolic mark of 100,000 dollars for the first time since January 27.
