Stellantis to take $26 billion hit overhauling its business after 'over-estimating the pace of the energy transition' | stocknewsapi |
STLA
|
|
|
Automaker Stellantis said on Friday it expects to take a roughly 22-billion-euro ($26 billion) hit as it overhauls its business to accelerate the rollout of electric and hybrid vehicles.
"The charges announced today largely reflect the cost of over-estimating the pace of the energy transition that distanced us from many car buyers' real-world needs, means and desires," said Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa in a statement. "They also reflect the impact of previous poor operational execution, the effects of which are being progressively addressed by our new Team." This is a breaking news story.

Should You Buy Rigetti Computing Stock Right Now? | stocknewsapi |
RGTI
|
|
|
The stock is priced for a quantum future that may be decades away.
Rigetti Computing (RGTI 12.54%) has caught investors' attention. It's one of the few quantum computing companies with its own manufacturing facility, and it's shown it can deliver some impressive technology. If quantum computing delivers on its promise, Rigetti would be one of the names you'd want to own. Today's Change ( -12.54 %) $ -2.15 Current Price $ 15.04 The "when" is important The company has a market capitalization north of $5.8 billion, yet its sales in the last 12 months total just $7.5 million. That is a serious disconnect. Investors are pricing in a massive amount of future growth and, in my opinion, are too optimistic about the quantum computing's development timeline. A recent MIT report said that large-scale commercial applications -- the kind that justify multibillion-dollar market caps -- likely remain "far off." Morningstar agrees; its analysis puts general-use quantum computing two decades away. Image source: Getty Images. The bottom line for investors While stranger things have happened, I wouldn't count on a quantum computer from Rigetti or other pure-plays like it coming close to justifying their current valuations for a very long time. And along the way, the company must continually find funding that will likely be dilutive to shareholders. I think there are better opportunities out there that offer upside without the massive downside risk -- Alphabet would be where I'd put my money.

CNBC Daily Open: Amazon one-ups its rivals on capex spending, but investors are already worried over AI valuations | stocknewsapi |
AMZN
|
|
|
Amazon is following in the footsteps of fellow tech giant Microsoft, and not in a good way. Shares of the e-commerce and cloud giant plunged more than 11% in extended trading after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings that missed expectations.
The bigger jolt, however, came from Amazon's enormous capital expenditure projection — $200 billion, far above analysts' estimates of $146.6 billion and sharply higher than the roughly $131 billion in 2025. That figure also dwarfs Alphabet's projected capex range of $175 billion to $185 billion, which already gave traders and analysts pause. The message from markets was clear: Investors are growing wary of how much Big Tech is spending to chase the next phase of artificial intelligence, even as Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said he was "confident" of seeing a "strong return on invested capital." Soaring capex and fears that AI is eroding the value of software firms contributed to a tech sell-off on Thursday. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.59% on declines in Nvidia, Oracle and Qualcomm, among others. Stocks were further pressured by high U.S. layoffs in January. The S&P 500 dropped 1.23%, putting it in the red for 2026, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated 1.2%. But not everyone sees a sector in trouble. Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities said in a research note on Wednesday that the sell-off reflected an "Armageddon scenario for the sector that is far from reality." The market decline, however, is "a positive sign" for Stephen Tuckwood, director of investments at Modern Wealth Management, who argued that it signals "the market is discerning at this point rather than just irrational exuberance." Perhaps reflecting some of that discernment, Bitcoin briefly sank below $61,000 as of Thursday evening stateside, its lowest level since November 2024, though it recouped some losses and is trading at $65,208 at 2:40 p.m. Singapore (1:30 a.m. ET). Other cryptocurrencies, such as Ether and Solana, have also been losing ground this week. In Europe, U.K. government bonds, known as gilts, could face renewed pressure as questions swirl around British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's grip on power. Starmer is under fire over the prior appointment of Peter Mandelson as U.K. ambassador to the U.S despite knowing of his links to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Punters are raising their bets that Starmer could lose his leadership role by the end of the year — and the Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey told CNBC the fiasco is adding to global uncertainty. — CNBC's Annie Palmer contributed to this report. What you need to know todaySilver's volatility has exceeded 100%. Strategists at UBS noted the recent plunge appeared driven more by a broader risk-off move than a collapse in fundamentals, but warned that extreme volatility makes near-term positioning risky. India is 'ready' to buy Boeing planes worth up to $80 billion, India's Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal reportedly said, signaling New Delhi's willingness to expand trade with the U.S. Goyal also said that there was potential to buy $500 billion worth of goods from the U.S. over the next five years. U.S. citizens should ‘leave Iran now,’ according to a security alert issued by the U.S. Virtual Embassy in Tehran on Friday. The notice comes ahead of U.S.-Iran talks in Oman on Friday, with little indication that the two sides have found common ground on the meeting's agenda. The S&P 500 is in negative territory for 2026, after the index posted losses on Thursday. Other major U.S. indexes also fell on a sell-off in tech stocks. Asia-Pacific markets mostly fell Friday. South Korea's Kospi lost roughly 1.5%, paring earlier losses of as much as 5%. Japan's Nikkei 225, however, added 0.8%. [PRO] Is the AI bubble popping itself? The question preoccupying Wall Street this week: Is the software sell-off overdone, or does it signify the start of a bubble bursting? And finally... |

Tech giants pour record sums into artificial intelligence as markets demand clearer returns
Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:AMZN) share price plunged more than 10% in after-hours trading on Thursday, erasing $250 billion from its market value, after the company unveiled plans to spend a record $200 billion this year, largely on artificial intelligence. The e-commerce and cloud computing group said the investment (up sharply from $125 billion in 2025) would focus on AI systems, semiconductor chips, robotics and satellite infrastructure. Chief executive Andy Jassy described AI as an “unusual opportunity” and told analysts the technology would eventually reinvent every aspect of Amazon’s customer experience. But the scale of the spending, which Jassy admitted would be “aggressive,” appeared to rattle investors already wary of ballooning costs across the tech sector. Amazon’s announcement followed similar pledges from rival firms. Meta plans to spend up to $135 billion this year on AI infrastructure, while Alphabet-owned Google is increasing its capital expenditure to $185 billion, more than double last year’s total. Microsoft has already spent more than $72 billion on AI-related hiring and development, with no signs of slowing. Together, the four companies are on course to spend over $650 billion in 2026 on AI and related technologies. Although executives at each firm have insisted the spending will unlock new growth, markets are growing uneasy. Despite reporting solid profits, all four saw share prices fall this week. The broader S&P 500 index dipped more than 1% on Thursday, adding to declines from last week’s record high. |

Bitcoin Miner MARA Moves $86.9M in BTC as Market Volatility Puts Miners Under Pressure | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) transferred 1,318 BTC worth approximately $86.89 million to a mix of counterparties and custody destinations over the past 10 hours, according to onchain data tracked by Arkham. The large bitcoin movements have caught traders’ attention as crypto markets remain volatile following a liquidation-driven selloff earlier this week.
The largest portion of the transfer was sent to Two Prime, a well-known crypto credit and trading firm. One transaction moved 653.773 BTC, valued at around $42.01 million at the time, to a wallet tagged as belonging to Two Prime. Just minutes later, MARA followed up with an additional transfer of 8.999 BTC worth roughly $578,000 to the same counterparty. These transactions suggest a potential collateral posting, treasury adjustment, or strategy rotation rather than an immediate spot market sale, though market participants are watching closely. In addition to the Two Prime transfers, MARA sent 200 BTC and 99.999 BTC to a BitGo-tagged address in separate outbound transactions. Together, those transfers totaled about $20.4 million. Another 305 BTC, worth approximately $20.72 million at the time, was moved to a newly created address, adding further speculation around custody reshuffling or internal treasury management. The timing of these bitcoin transfers is particularly notable. Crypto markets have been swinging sharply, and traders remain sensitive to any signs that miners may be turning into forced sellers. While large miner-related transactions are often routine and not necessarily bearish, they are frequently interpreted as potential supply signals in thin or fragile market conditions. These movements also come during a challenging period for bitcoin miners. Bitcoin is down nearly 50% from last year’s peak above $126,000 and is currently trading near $60,000. According to CoinDesk and data from Checkonchain, bitcoin is now roughly 20% below its estimated average production cost of around $87,000 per BTC. Historically, sustained trading below production cost has been associated with broader bear market conditions, increasing financial pressure across the mining sector and keeping investor attention firmly on miner behavior. <Copyright ⓒ TokenPost, unauthorized reproduction and redistribution prohibited> |

Crypto Market Sentiment Hits Extreme Fear as Bitcoin Slide Triggers Deleveraging | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Crypto market sentiment has plunged to its most pessimistic level since the FTX collapse, following a sharp bitcoin price drop that rippled across the digital asset market and triggered widespread deleveraging. The widely watched Crypto Fear and Greed Index fell to 9 on Friday, a level classified as “extreme fear” and historically associated with severe breakdowns in investor confidence.
The decline highlights how rapidly sentiment has deteriorated. Just one day earlier, the index stood at 12, compared with 16 last week and 42 a month ago. This swift shift underscores how traders have moved from cautious positioning to outright defensive behavior in response to heightened volatility and falling prices. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index is designed to capture investor psychology rather than forecast price direction. It is largely bitcoin-focused and aggregates several indicators, including market volatility, recent drawdowns, trading volume and momentum, social media activity, bitcoin dominance, and Google Trends data related to crypto searches. When volatility spikes, defensive positioning rises, and fear-driven searches increase, the index typically drops sharply. This latest collapse in sentiment coincided with bitcoin briefly falling near the $60,000 level during late U.S. trading hours on Thursday before rebounding toward $65,000. The rapid move reflected a combination of forced liquidations from overleveraged traders and opportunistic dip-buying by longer-term participants. While the bounce suggests some buyers are willing to step in around major psychological support levels, the broader market tone remains tense. Historically, periods of extreme fear in the crypto market have sometimes aligned with local price bottoms, as panic selling tends to flush out leveraged positions and short-term holders. However, this pattern is far from guaranteed. The index should be viewed as a snapshot of market stress rather than a precise timing signal. Although the Crypto Fear and Greed Index does not predict bitcoin’s next move, it clearly shows that the market has returned to a level of fear usually associated with systemic events. For investors, the current reading reflects a fragile environment where uncertainty dominates, risk appetite is muted, and sentiment remains deeply shaken across the crypto ecosystem. <Copyright ⓒ TokenPost, unauthorized reproduction and redistribution prohibited> |

Metaplanet Stays Bullish on Bitcoin Accumulation Despite BTC Price Crash | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Bitcoin treasury firm Metaplanet has reaffirmed its commitment to accumulating Bitcoin even as the BTC price experiences a sharp downturn. During early Asian trading hours on Friday, Bitcoin briefly dropped to around $60,000 before rebounding toward the $63,000 range, extending a broader bearish trend that has wiped billions from institutional crypto portfolios.
In a recent post on X, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich addressed growing concerns among investors and acknowledged the pressure shareholders are facing amid declining stock prices. Despite these challenges, Gerovich emphasized that the company’s long-term Bitcoin strategy remains unchanged. He stated that Metaplanet will continue to steadily purchase Bitcoin, expand its revenue streams, and position itself for the next stage of growth, regardless of short-term market volatility. The renewed assurance comes at a time when Metaplanet is dealing with millions of dollars in unrealized losses due to the ongoing Bitcoin price correction. These losses have also impacted the firm’s stock performance, with shares reportedly falling by about 8% at the start of Friday’s trading session. Still, the company appears unfazed, choosing to prioritize its conviction in Bitcoin over near-term financial pain. Metaplanet is not alone in this approach. Other Bitcoin treasury firms, including Michael Saylor’s Strategy, have also reported significant unrealized losses. Recent reports indicate that Strategy is facing more than $4.5 billion in paper losses as its MSTR stock continues to decline alongside Bitcoin’s price. Like Metaplanet, Saylor has repeatedly stated that his company will continue buying Bitcoin despite the market downturn. Meanwhile, market sentiment remains cautious. Data from Polymarket suggests that around 76% of traders expect Bitcoin to fall below $55,000 in the near term. Bitcoin has already lost nearly half of its value since reaching its previous all-time high in October, raising concerns about further downside risk. Some analysts, including those at Stifel, have warned that Bitcoin could potentially drop as low as $38,000, citing historical bearish cycles such as those seen in 2018 and 2022. Despite these gloomy forecasts, firms like Metaplanet continue to view the current Bitcoin price crash as an accumulation opportunity rather than a reason to retreat, reinforcing their long-term belief in Bitcoin’s future value. <Copyright ⓒ TokenPost, unauthorized reproduction and redistribution prohibited> |

Tether makes $150M investment in Gold.com in latest gold play | cryptonews |
USDT
|
|
|
Tether and Gold.com are exploring options to allow the use of Tether’s stablecoins to purchase physical gold.
The investment arm of stablecoin issuer Tether has acquired a $150 million stake in the precious metals platform Gold.com to expand access to tokenized gold. Tether said on Thursday that it acquired an approximately 12% stake in the company, which will integrate Tether Gold (XAUt), its gold-backed cryptocurrency, into Gold.com’s platform. Source: Tether Gold.com is a publicly listed online marketplace that sells gold and other precious metals, such as silver and platinum, to several markets, including the US. “Gold has played a central role in preserving value for centuries, particularly during periods of monetary stress and geopolitical uncertainty,” said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. “Gold exposure is not a trade for Tether; it is a hedge and a long-term allocation to protect our user base and ourselves in a world that is becoming increasingly unstable.” He added the company’s investment in Gold.com “reflects a long-term belief that gold should be as accessible, transferable, and usable as modern digital money, without compromising on physical backing or ownership.” Tether explores stablecoin payments for goldTether and Gold.com are also exploring options to enable customers to purchase physical gold with Tether’s flagship stablecoin USDt (USDT) and its new stablecoin specifically for the US market, USAt (USAT), which it launched with crypto-native bank Anchorage Digital on Jan. 27. Tether’s expanded gold offerings come as gold rallied more than 80% over the past 12 months to $5,600 on Jan. 29, before cooling off to $4,800 at the time of writing. The partnership comes after Tether announced earlier on Thursday that it made a $100 million equity investment in Anchorage, a move that helps boost adoption of the USAt stablecoin in the US market as the bank looks to go public next year. Tether reported a profit of $10 billion in 2025, earned mostly through interest on US Treasury holdings backing its $185.6 billion USDt reserve.

'Be Greedy': Ripple CEO Reacts to XRP Price Crash | cryptonews |
XRP
|
|
|
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has urged XRP investors to look past the panic after the cryptocurrency suffered one of its worst single-day declines in history.
Garlinghouse took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a piece of investment advice from Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. "My favorite Warren Buffett quote," Garlinghouse wrote late Thursday night as the sell-off accelerated. "'Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful!'" HOT Stories My favorite Warren Buffet quote: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful!" — Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) February 5, 2026 Buffett famously coined the phrase in his 1986 Letter to Shareholders (published in early 1987). His readiness to be "greedy" allowed him to scoop up discounted assets. Ripple leadership seemingly views the current downturn as a buying opportunity created by market hysteria. Leading the crash Garlinghouse’s optimism comes at a time of extreme distress for XRP holders. As reported by U.Today, the token has emerged as the single worst performer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies during this correction. You Might Also Like According to market data, XRP is currently trading nearly 70% below its record peak of $3.65. The magnitude of the current slide has placed XRP in a precarious position on the leaderboards; it is now on the verge of falling below Circle's USDC stablecoin by market capitalization. Extremely extreme fear On Friday, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which is the industry's main gauge of market emotion, collapsed to a reading of 9. It's been that low only during the enormous crash in March 2020, as well as during the 2018 and 2022 bear market bottoms. Michael Arrington, founder of Arrington Capital and TechCrunch, believes that this time will be no different, and Garlinghouse seemingly agrees. |

Bitcoin Crash Drives Crypto Fear to Lowest Level Since 2022 | cryptonews |

|
Crypto market sentiment fell to its lowest level in more than three and a half years as Bitcoin dropped sharply toward $60,000.
Danielle du Toit2 min read 6 February 2026, 05:30 AM The Crypto Fear & Greed Index declined to a score of 9, its weakest reading since June 2022, while Bitcoin has slid by close to 38% from its 2026 high. The selloff triggered more than $2.7 billion in liquidations over 24 hours, mostly from leveraged long positions, as market pressure from declining US tech stocks and cautious expectations around Federal Reserve policy weighed on risk assets. Extreme Fear ReturnsCrypto market sentiment plunged to its weakest level in more than three and a half years as Bitcoin suffered a sharp double-digit decline to around $60,000. The downturn erased months of gains and intensified concerns that the broader crypto market may be entering a deeper corrective phase rather than a short-lived pullback. Crypto Fear and Greed Index The Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to a score of just 9 out of 100 on Friday, firmly placing the market in “extreme fear” territory. This is the lowest sentiment reading since June of 2022, when confidence collapsed after the implosion of the Terra blockchain ecosystem. The index has been deeply depressed for roughly two weeks as Bitcoin slid aggressively from its recent highs. Bitcoin has now fallen roughly 38% from its 2026 peak close to $97,000 in a matter of weeks, wiping out gains that were accumulated over the past sixteen months. During early Friday trading, the price dipped to a little over $60,000, which was its lowest level since October 2024, before rebounding modestly to just above $64,000. Despite the bounce, Bitcoin is still down around 10% over the past 24 hours, one of its largest single-day declines since mid-2022. BTC’s price action over the past 24 hours (Source: CoinCodex) The violent price move has also triggered heavy forced liquidations across derivatives markets. Over the past 24 hours, more than 588,000 traders were liquidated for a combined $2.7 billion. Roughly 85% of those positions are leveraged long bets, primarily tied to Bitcoin, according to data from CoinGlass. Analysts point to macro pressures amplifying the crypto selloff. Jeff Ko, chief analyst at CoinEx Research, believes that Bitcoin’s steep weekly drawdown coincided with a slump in US tech stocks, where concerns about stretched valuations and a potential AI-driven bubble have resurfaced. Even Amazon saw a double-digit decline after mixed earnings, adding to risk-off sentiment. Meanwhile, LVRG Research director Nick Ruck said softer US labor market data and rising unemployment claims fueled doubts about economic strength, increasing caution around the Federal Reserve and its appetite for aggressive rate cuts.

Bitcoin Miner Marathon Digital Transfers 1,318 BTC Worth $87M, Is a Sell-Off Coming | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital Holdings has transferred nearly $87 million worth of Bitcoin to major crypto service firms, sparking concerns about fresh selling pressure.
The move comes as Bitcoin trades around $64,800 after a sharp drop, adding to fears that miners may be increasing sell-offs. Marathon Digital Bitcoin Transfer Signals Possible SellingOn February 6, Marathon Digital Holdings moved a total of 1,318 BTC valued near $87 million to institutional platforms, including Two Prime, BitGo, and Galaxy Digital. These are well-known institutional platforms that provide custody, trading, and liquidity services. When a mining company sends coins to such firms, it often signals preparation for structured selling, collateral use, or treasury rebalancing. However, the transfers happened within roughly a 10-hour window while Bitcoin traded around the mid-$60,000 range after a sharp daily drop. Marathon Current Bitcoin HoldingsDespite the transfer, Marathon still holds about 52,850 BTC worth around 3.42 billion, keeping it among the top corporate Bitcoin holders worldwide. This shows the company is adjusting part of its treasury, not exiting its position. Still, the timing adds to short-term caution. Bitcoin is already down nearly 10% in 24 hours, and broader sentiment is fragile. When miner flows rise during a falling market, traders tend to expect more volatility. Miner & Whale Continue to Sell BitcoinOne major pressure is coming from Bitcoin miners. The average mining cost has risen above $87,000, while Bitcoin trades near $65,402, forcing many miners to sell at a loss. CryptoQuant data shows miner reserves have dropped to 1.806 million BTC, confirming rising sell-offs. Meanwhile, selling is not limited to miners. Santiment data reveals that Bitcoin whales and large holders are also reducing positions. Wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC now control just 68.04% of total supply, a nine-month low. These large holders have sold about 81,068 BTC in the last eight days alone. Trust with CoinPedia:CoinPedia has been delivering accurate and timely cryptocurrency and blockchain updates since 2017.

$2.6 Billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum Options Set to Expire as Volatility Surges to 100%$2.6 billion in BTC and ETH options expire amid elevated volatility and defensive positioning.Bitcoin trades far below max pain as institutions ramp up downside hedging.Options expiry could reset dealer flows and trigger sharp post-settlement moves.More than $2.6 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire, a development that could reshape short-term price dynamics as traders unwind hedges and reposition.
The event comes amid elevated volatility, defensive positioning, and growing evidence that institutional participants are actively hedging downside risk. Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin and Ethereum Options Expiry Could Trigger Volatility as $2.6 Billion in Contracts SettleData from derivatives markets shows Bitcoin accounts for the bulk of the expiry, with roughly $2.2 billion in notional value tied to contracts. Ethereum represents an additional $419 million, bringing the combined total to more than $2.6 billion. Bitcoin is currently trading near $64,686, significantly below its max pain level of $80,000, the price at which the greatest number of options would expire worthless. Total open interest stands at 33,984 contracts, including 21,396 calls and 12,588 puts, resulting in a put-to-call ratio of 0.59. Bitcoin Expiring Options. Source: DeribitEthereum, meanwhile, is trading around $1,905, also below its $2,400 max pain level. Total open interest stands at 219,034 contracts, with call open interest of 113,427 and put open interest of 105,607. The put-to-call ratio of 0.93 suggests a more balanced, yet still cautious, positioning compared with Bitcoin. Ethereum Expiring Options. Source: DeribitSponsored Sponsored The gap between spot prices and max pain levels suggests that option sellers could benefit if prices remain suppressed into expiry. Meanwhile, traders holding directional bets may face losses if markets remain range-bound. Notably, today’s expiring options are significantly lower than the $8.8 billion contracts that settled last Friday, because the January 30 event was for the month. Institutions Hedge as Volatility ClimbsNevertheless, analysts at Greeks.live say derivatives markets are showing clear signs of stress and repositioning, with volatility rising sharply and traders moving to protect portfolios. “The $60,000 range [for Bitcoin] represents the consolidation zone prior to the Trump rally, where support remains relatively strong. Should a rapid dip occur in the short term, it may present a buying opportunity,” they wrote. Sponsored Sponsored According to the analysts, options data indicate institutions and large players are urgently hedging and placing bets. Bitcoin’s current-month implied volatility (IV) has surged to 100%, doubling since the start of the year, while the main contracts’ IV has also breached 50%, climbing 15% over two weeks. With skew at a two-year low, the experts say options market structure is now entirely dominated by bearish sentiment, though some lottery-style buying of deeply out-of-the-money options has emerged. “The market currently exhibits excessive panic, and conditions for a sustained BTC crash remain insufficient. Rapid risk-off liquidation could actually facilitate a market rebound,” Greeks.live analysts wrote. Indeed, the market is in panic mode, and with good reason, as the Bitcoin price steadily edges toward the $60,000 psychological level. Sponsored Sponsored The surge in implied volatility to 100% highlights the scale of uncertainty currently priced into Bitcoin markets, reflecting expectations of larger-than-normal price swings. Expiry Could Reset Market FlowsElsewhere, Deribit analysts note that options positioning is clustered around key strike levels, which may be influencing price behavior ahead of expiry. “With protection demand already increasing and volatility repriced, this expiry could act as a short-term reset in dealer hedging flows. Expiry may remove positioning-related ‘gravity’ around big strikes, so price behavior after 08:00 UTC may differ from the days leading into expiry,” Deribit analysts stated. The options expire at 08:00 UTC on Deribit. If those dynamics play out, markets could see increased volatility immediately after expiry as hedging flows unwind and liquidity conditions shift. While bearish sentiment currently dominates derivatives positioning, panic-driven markets can sometimes produce sharp rebounds, particularly if large liquidations clear excess leverage.

BlackRock's bitcoin fund hits $10 billion volume record, hinting at peak selling | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Record volume, redemptions and pronounced tilt toward put options points to institutional capitulation.Updated Feb 6, 2026, 5:44 a.m. Published Feb 6, 2026, 5:36 a.m.
Talk about frenzied trading. On Thursday, BlackRock's spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, tickered as IBIT, hit a wild record with over 284 million shares traded, per Nasdaq data. That’s a whopping $10 billion-plus in notional value. STORY CONTINUES BELOW To put it in perspective, that smashed the old record of 169.21 million shares from Nov. 21 by a massive 169%. The record volume came as IBIT plunged 13% to under $35, the lowest since Oct. 11, 2024, extending the year-to-date loss to 27%. Prices peaked at a high of $71.82 in early October. The fund processed redemptions totaling $175.33 million on Thursday, accounting for 40% of the cumulative net outflow of $434.11 million across 11 funds, according to SoSoValue. IBIT, the world's largest publicly listed bitcoin fund, holds physical coins and is designed to mirror the spot price of the world's top cryptocurrency, which has been declining recently, crashing to nearly $60,000 on Thursday. The fund has been a preferred alternative investment vehicle for institutions seeking exposure to cryptocurrency through regulated products. Capitulation hintsThe combination of record volume and price crash often signals capitulation – long-term holders throwing in the towel and liquidating their holdings at a loss. It marks the bear market's peak selling phase, potentially signaling the start of a slow, painful bottoming process. IBIT options trading on Thursday told the same story. Longer duration put options. or contracts used to hedge against downturns, reached a record premium of over 25 volatility points above call options (bullish bets), according to data from MarketChameleon. That kind of heavy put bias often signals peak fear as well. That said, nothing's guaranteed, as bear markets can drag on longer than even dip buyers can stay liquid. |

Better 52-Week-Low Buy: Bitcoin or the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF? | cryptonews | — | |
|
As the cryptocurrency sell-off intensifies, make sure you're making the right choice between buying Bitcoin directly or a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Bitcoin (BTC 5.56%) and the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT 13.16%) are both around 52-week lows. Bitcoin is in the midst of a 40% drawdown from its all-time high set in early October 2025. Here's why Bitcoin is falling and if you should buy the dip directly through Bitcoin or an exchange-traded fund (ETF). Image source: Getty Images. Why Bitcoin is selling off Like gold and silver, Bitcoin's price is heavily influenced by supply and demand. And more specifically, by liquidity, regulation, monetary policy, institutional adoption, and retail investor demand. Over the last year or so, Bitcoin has been under pressure due to a flurry of economic events, geopolitical issues, tariffs, and more. Over the last four months, there have been several instances when Bitcoin has fallen by more than 5% in 24 hours or more than 10% in 10 days. If many buyers rush to buy Bitcoin at once, it can rapidly drive prices higher due to limited supply. Similarly, if there's a lot of selling pressure, prices can drop fast -- especially if there's a liquidity event (which is most likely what happened over the weekend). Some investors buy Bitcoin using leverage, which can amplify gains on the upside but also magnify losses on the downside. An exchange may force liquidation if a user's balance falls below the maintenance margin, which is the level required to keep the leveraged trade active. Collective forced selling can trigger rapid declines in asset prices, not because investors are actively selling, but because leverage is causing forced liquidations. This mechanical selling can also happen in the stock market, like in 2020 when COVID-19 pandemic fears triggered a staggering 28.5% drawdown in the S&P 500 between March 4 and market close on March 23. Similarly, market mechanics and margin calls are partly to blame for Bitcoin's latest swift, steep sell-off. Today's Change ( -13.16 %) $ -5.47 Current Price $ 36.10 Buying Bitcoin for the right reasons Unlike investing in corporations, Bitcoin doesn't have earnings, a board of directors, or a management team. So, instead of the investment thesis evolving based on what the company is doing, Bitcoin's investment thesis has more to do with the intrinsic value of Bitcoin, as well as Bitcoin's adoption by institutional and retail investors and central banks. Before even considering buying Bitcoin outright or through an ETF, it's best to take a step back and make sure you're buying it for the right reasons. Bitcoin has made long-term investors rich at the expense of extreme volatility and massive downturns. Enduring those drawbacks requires conviction in Bitcoin's value as a decentralized means of exchange that is easily transferable, divisible, inherently scarce with a fixed supply, secure, and able to grow as a store of value as adoption increases over time. If you don't believe in those factors, it may not be worth buying at all. But if you do, then the choice between buying Bitcoin outright or a Bitcoin ETF is easy. Reasons to buy Bitcoin ETFs Bitcoin ETFs are a better choice for investors who want to buy Bitcoin through a brokerage account, especially if it's a retirement account. Buying the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF in a tax-advantaged retirement account, like an individual retirement account (IRA) or Roth IRA, allows Bitcoin to grow tax-deferred. Selling Bitcoin in a retirement account doesn't automatically trigger a taxable gain, whereas buying and selling Bitcoin through a cryptocurrency exchange or in an individual brokerage account does. So if you're looking for ultra-long-term Bitcoin exposure, buying a low-cost ETF like the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF through a retirement account is the way to go. |

Crypto Market Crash: $380B Wiped Out as $2.6B Liquidations Push Bitcoin to $60K. What's Next? | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Bitcoin price recorded one of its sharpest single-day declines in recent years, a move not seen since the FTX collapse. The largest crypto crashed to an intraday low near $60,000, marking its first visit to this level since October 2024 and fully erasing gains made after the US presidential election.
The downside pressure quickly spread across the broader crypto market. Ethereum slipped below $1,800, while Solana broke under $70 for the first time since December 2023. Dogecoin also plunged below the $0.10 mark, intensifying risk-off sentiment and triggering panic across retail-heavy tokens. With key supports breached across major assets, traders are now questioning whether Bitcoin and the wider crypto market have officially transitioned from a correction into a full-fledged bear market. Top Reasons Why Bitcoin Price Dropped to $60,000Since Bitcoin slipped below the psychological $100,000 level, market sentiment has shifted sharply. Both traders and institutions appear increasingly cautious, with confidence fading faster than in previous pullbacks. Unlike past market crashes, triggered by systemic shocks such as the ICO bubble, COVID-led liquidity stress, the Terra ecosystem collapse, or the FTX failure, the current decline lacks a single catastrophic event. Instead, the sell-off reflects a technical breakdown in market structure, compounded by weakening conviction and reduced risk appetite among participants. Massive Long Liquidations Took ControlOver the past few days, the crypto market has been under intense pressure, with liquidation numbers repeatedly crossing $1.5 billion to $2 billion. The latest sell-off was especially brutal, wiping out over $1.85 billion in long positions, making it the second-largest liquidation event of 2026, after the $2.4 billion flush seen on January 31. The impact was widespread and painful. More than 500,000 traders were forced out of their positions as leverage unravelled across exchanges. The largest single liquidation—a Bitcoin long worth more than $12 million—was recorded on Binance, highlighting just how exposed even large players were to the downside move. Bitcoin Price Dropped Below Key Technical SupportBitcoin’s fall to $60,000 was driven by a clear technical breakdown rather than a headline-driven shock. The sell-off accelerated after BTC decisively lost the $65,000–$62,000 support zone, an area that had held multiple pullbacks over the past few weeks. Once Bitcoin slipped below $62,000, stop-loss orders clustered in this range were triggered rapidly. This led to a sharp increase in sell pressure and opened the way to the next major liquidity pocket near $60,000, where the price briefly stabilised. The breakdown was further confirmed as Bitcoin dropped below key trend indicators. BTC lost support at both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, levels closely watched by swing traders and short-term institutions. The failure to reclaim these averages turned them into immediate resistance, strengthening the bearish bias. Weak Dip Buying at Key Levels—Why Buyers Stepped BackOne thing that stood out during Bitcoin’s slide to $60,000 was how quietly buyers stepped back. When the price fell through the $65,000–$62,000 zone, there was no strong rush to buy the dip, unlike earlier pullbacks. Any short-term bounce was quickly sold, showing that traders were more focused on cutting risk than building new positions. With volatility high and liquidations piling up, many chose to stay on the sidelines and wait for clarity. That lack of conviction left Bitcoin exposed, allowing sellers to stay in control and push the price down toward the $60,000 level. The Bottom Line—Has the Crypto Market Officially Entered a Bear Market?The recent sell-off has clearly changed the mood across the crypto market. Bitcoin losing the $60,000 level, repeated billion-dollar liquidation events, broken supports, and a lack of strong dip buying suggest this move is more serious than a normal correction. Confidence has weakened, risk appetite has dropped, and traders are no longer quick to step in on dips. Still, calling this an official bear market may be too early. Bear markets usually show prolonged weakness and repeated failures to recover key levels, not just a sharp breakdown. Right now, the market feels stuck in between—no longer bullish, but not fully broken either. What happens next matters most. If Bitcoin fails to reclaim lost levels and selling pressure continues, this phase could easily turn into a full-fledged bear market. For now, crypto stands at a decisive crossroads.

Large Bitcoin holders' share of supply hits 9-month low amid price drop | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Large Bitcoin holders are now controlling the smallest share of the cryptocurrency’s supply since late May, when it first reclaimed $100,000 after more than three months, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment.
Santiment posted to X on Thursday that “whale and shark wallets” holding between 10 and 10,000 Bitcoin (BTC) have fallen to a nine-month low, collectively accounting for about 68.04% of the entire Bitcoin supply. “This includes a dump of -81,068 BTC in just the past 8 days alone,” Santiment said, as Bitcoin fell from around $90,000 to $65,000 over the same period, a roughly 27% decline, according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin is trading at $64,792 at the time of publication, up from a 24-hour low of just over $60,000. Bitcoin large wallet holders appear to be offloading aggressively. Source: SantimentCrypto market participants often track large Bitcoin holders to spot signs of accumulation or offloading, as these moves can signal whether whales believe the asset has peaked or is poised for an uptrend. It isn’t just large Bitcoin holders that are showing signs of caution. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju posted to X on Wednesday that “every Bitcoin analyst is now bearish.” The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, dropped to a score of 9 out of 100 on Friday, its lowest score since mid-2022, when the market was reeling from the collapse of the Terra blockchain. While there has been a sell-off among large holders, retail investors have been aggressively accumulating. Santiment said, “This combination of key stakeholders selling and retail buying is what historically creates bear cycles.” “Shrimp wallets,” which Santiment defines as those holding less than 0.1 Bitcoin, have risen to a 20-month high since June 2024, when Bitcoin was trading at around $66,000, before falling to $53,000 just two months later in August. However, by December 2024, it had reached $100,000 for the first time amid a booming market after Donald Trump won the US presidential election. The cohort now accounts for 0.249% of Bitcoin’s total supply, which is equivalent to roughly 52,290 Bitcoin. Bitcoin is down 29.62% over the past 12 months.

OG whale who lost $250M last week is already buying ETH again – Here's why | cryptonews |
ETH
|
|
|
Journalist
Posted: February 6, 2026 Just five days ago, the market watched as one of crypto’s most famous whales, who once made $190 million shorting the Trump tariff crash, saw his fortune collapse to just $53. A massive $250 million liquidation on Hyperliquid wiped him out almost overnight. Many thought he was finished. But, no! In fact, new on-chain data revealed that the same trader might be back at press time, betting big again. The whale has already withdrawn 80,000 Ethereum [ETH] (Worth about $168 million) from Binance [BNB], signaling strong confidence in Ethereum’s next move. This withdrawal, made on 05 February 2026, marks a major change in strategy. Instead of using extreme leverage like before, which led to his huge loss, the whale is now focusing on spot accumulation. Simply put, after losing everything, he’s re-entering the market. This time, with a long-term bet on Ethereum’s recovery. By removing $168 million worth of Ethereum from the market, the whale is shrinking the available supply. If others follow, this could create a supply squeeze and push the altcoin’s price higher. Traders don’t move 80,000 ETH to private wallets for short-term trades. This could be a sign that the whale believes the $2,000–$2,100 range may be a major market bottom. Signs of a possible reversal At the time of writing, ETH was valued at $2060.87 after a drop of 8.04% in the last 24 hours. On the technical front, while MACD pointed to weakness, the RSI had fallen into oversold territory. Such a finding is often evidence of a potential trend reversal. Source: TradingView Active addresses have also been declining, but that alone isn’t a reason to panic. Source: Glassnode In the current 2026 market, whale behavior, especially large withdrawals from exchanges, is a much stronger signal of future price movement than the number of active addresses. Right now, address data is distorted by post-upgrade spam and low-quality transactions, making it less reliable. Hence, Ethereum is caught in a tough battle between sellers and buyers now. Firms like Trend Research and Garrett Jin have been forced to sell large amounts of ETH, worth about $738 million, just to cover losses and repay loans. Additionally, OTC markets revealed that buyers picked up 33,000 ETH in a single day, and DBS-linked wallets added another 25,000 ETH this week. All these movements, along with technical indicators, may be indicative that the market may be preparing for a reversal. Final Thoughts Large private wallet transfers suggest that major players see the $2,000–$2,100 range as a potential long-term bottom. Whale movements are currently more reliable indicators of market sentiment than short-term network activity.

A fresh wave of selling has rippled through the market, pushing Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) below closely watched price levels and triggering another round of large-scale liquidations. What began as a gradual pullback has turned into a broad deleveraging event, as weakening momentum, fading institutional demand, and cautious sentiment combine to pressure prices across major digital assets. Bitcoin has been trading around the $70,000–$71,000 range after briefly slipping to levels last seen in late 2024. Ethereum has followed a similar path, falling toward $2,100 and briefly testing lower intraday levels. As prices broke through technical support zones, leveraged positions were forced out, accelerating losses. BTC's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview Bitcoin Slips Below Key Support as Liquidations Mount Data from multiple tracking platforms shows that more than $860 million worth of crypto positions were liquidated within a 24-hour period, with Bitcoin accounting for the largest share. Long positions dominated the wipeout, highlighting how heavily traders had been positioned for upside before the drop. Bitcoin’s move below its 365-day moving average has added to bearish signals. On-chain analysts note that since falling below this long-term trend line in November 2025, BTC has declined at a faster pace than during comparable phases of the 2022 bear market. ETF flows have also weakened, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs shifting from net inflows to net outflows in early 2026, removing a key source of demand. Market participants are now watching the $70,000 level closely. Some analysts see it as potential support, while others warn that a sustained break could open the door to a deeper move toward the $60,000 region if sentiment fails to stabilize. Ethereum Deleveraging Adds to Downside Pressure Ethereum has not been spared from the turmoil. ETH-related liquidations have exceeded $200 million in recent sessions, as the price dipped toward the $2,000 mark. Large holders have also moved to reduce risk. On-chain data shows that Trend Research sold roughly 188,500 ETH over several days and repaid hundreds of millions of dollars in stablecoins to cut leverage, lowering its liquidation thresholds. This deleveraging has shifted attention to potential risk zones between $1,576 and $1,682, where forced liquidations could cluster if prices continue to slide. Sentiment Weakens Across the Broader Crypto Market Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, major altcoins including BNB, Solana, and Dogecoin have posted daily losses of 6% to 11%. Total crypto market capitalization has fallen to around $2.4–$2.5 trillion, while open interest in derivatives markets continues to decline, signaling reduced risk appetite. Sentiment indicators reflect growing caution. The Fear and Greed Index has slipped deeper into “extreme fear,” and concerns around stablecoin stability, particularly brief deviations in USDT’s peg, have added another layer of uncertainty. Traders remain focused on whether key support levels can hold or if further liquidations lie ahead.

Bitcoin Crash Exposes Colossal Corporate Losses — Here's Who's Most Impacted | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
The latest downturn in Bitcoin (BTC) has begun to weigh heavily on publicly listed companies that built their balance sheets around the market’s leading cryptocurrency.
On Thursday, Bitcoin hovered near the $65,000 level, continuing the sharp decline that began last October. This has impacted equity markets, causing the shares of crypto-exposed firms to decline significantly. Bitcoin Slide Pressures Digital Asset Treasury Firms According to a Reuters report, the renewed volatility in digital assets is dragging down the stock prices of companies that hold Bitcoin and other tokens, raising concerns that the stress could spread more broadly across the sector. The number of publicly traded firms investing in cryptocurrencies surged last year, as many executives bet that digital assets would continue to appreciate over the long-term. However, the backdrop has shifted. Investor anxiety over stretched valuations in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, combined with uncertainty surrounding the future path of Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cuts, has weighed on risk assets more broadly. As a result, Bitcoin has slid to its lowest level since October 2024, putting pressure on companies whose business models rely on holding digital assets. Many of these digital asset treasury firms saw their shares wobble sharply on Thursday. Seven Major Companies Suffer Strategy (previously MicroStrategy), the largest corporate BTC holder with over 700,000 coins, has been among the hardest hit. Its shares have fallen from around $457 in July to as low as $106 on Thursday. In December, the company cut its 2025 earnings outlook, pointing to weakness in Bitcoin prices, and announced plans to establish a reserve to help support dividend payments. The firm led by Michael Saylor said it now expects its full‑year results to range anywhere from a $6.3 billion profit to a $5.5 billion loss, a sharp downgrade from its earlier forecast of a $24 billion net profit. Other Bitcoin‑focused firms also felt the impact. Shares of the UK‑based Smarter Web Company fell nearly 18% on Thursday. Rival Bitcoin buyers Nakamoto Inc and Japan’s Metaplanet were also under pressure, dropping almost 9% and more than 7%, respectively. However, the sell-off pressure has not been limited to companies holding only BTC. On Thursday, crypto-related firms that stockpiled other digital tokens also traded lower amid the correction affecting broader digital asset prices. Alt5 Sigma, which announced last year that it would accumulate the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token, saw its shares drop 8.4%. Similarly, SharpLink Gaming, which holds Ethereum (ETH), declined about 8%, while Forward Industries, a holder of Solana (SOL), slid nearly 6%.

Strategy CEO: Bitcoin would need to plunge to $8,000 before balance sheet issues | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Strategy CEO Phong Le told investors that the company's balance sheet remains resilient despite bitcoin's BTC recent downfall.
Le said during the Strategy's fourth-quarter financial results webinar that bitcoin would need to drop to $8,000 and remain at that level for five to six years before posing a real threat to servicing its convertible debt. "In the extreme downside, if we were to have a 90% decline in bitcoin price, and the price was $8,000, that is the point at which our bitcoin reserve equals our net debt, and we will not be able to then pay off our convertibles using our Bitcoin reserve, and we'd either look at restructuring, issuing additional equity, issuing additional debt," Le said. The comment came during Strategy's fourth-quarter earnings call on Thursday, where company executives addressed the impact of bitcoin's recent downturn on the firm's finances. Strategy, the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, reported a net loss of $12.6 billion for the quarter, largely due to unrealized losses on its digital asset holdings as bitcoin's price fell below the firm's average acquisition cost. "These results were obviously driven by the quarter-end decline in bitcoins for value under our mark-to-market accounting," said Strategy CFO Andrew Kang. Still, Kang noted the firm's long-term approach, adding that "even in a volatile environment, we continue to execute." Executive Chairman Michael Saylor echoed the sentiment. "Quarter-to-quarter moves like this can be sharp, can also be unsettling, but it's important to emphasize that our strategy is built for the long term," Saylor said. "It's built to withstand short-term price volatility, even short-term extreme conditions like we're seeing today." Thursday's webinar took place amid a sharp sell-off across crypto markets, with bitcoin currently down 9% in the past 24 hours to trade at $64,833. Strategy's MSTR erased much of its prior gains, falling 17.12% on Thursday to $106.9. It is down 72% in the past six months. Saylor directed investors to look to positive fundamentals, such as supportive U.S. regulatory shifts. Quantum threats Meanwhile, Saylor addressed bitcoin's ongoing quantum computing concerns during the earnings call, dismissing them as part of what he called a "parade of horrible FUD" surrounding bitcoin. "We think it's probably 10 or more years away before there's a threat, that is the consensus," Saylor said. "It's a promising technology, but it's still nascent." Saylor stated that quantum computing would pose a risk not only to bitcoin, but also to the finance and defense industries that are dependent on traditional cryptography. He added that significant investment is already flowing into the development of quantum-resistant protocols, and bitcoin will be upgraded through global consensus. "Bitcoin is upgradable, and bitcoin can be upgraded to be stronger," Saylor said. "We are optimists, and we believe that the human race will accept challenges and we'll upgrade to meet those challenges and do it in a rational fashion." To support appropriate consensus and solutions for bitcoin's quantum resistance upgrade, Saylor announced that Strategy will launch a Bitcoin Security program that coordinates with the global cyber, crypto, and bitcoin security communities. "The company is well managed, well collateralized, and responsibly structured so that we can stand difficult months, difficult quarters, even difficult years or two or three-year cycles at a time," Saylor said. "We've done it before. And we're prepared to do it going forward." Disclaimer: The Block is an independent media outlet that delivers news, research, and data.

Bitwise files for first spot Uniswap ETF with SEC | cryptonews |
UNI
|
|
|
Bitwise Asset Management has filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a spot Uniswap ETF, marking a major step toward a regulated exchange-traded product tied directly to the UNI token.
Summary Bitwise has filed for a spot Uniswap ETF, seeking to offer regulated exposure to the UNI token through traditional markets. The proposed ETF would hold UNI directly, with Coinbase Custody named as custodian. UNI traded lower despite the filing, underscoring cautious market sentiment toward altcoins. Uniswap ETF filing fails to lift UNI price Despite the filing, Uniswap (UNI) showed little immediate upside. The token continued to trade lower, reflecting cautious sentiment across altcoins even as institutional interest grows. At press time, UNI was exchanging hands at $3.22, down 14.5% over the past 24 hours. The filing, submitted on February 5, 2026, proposes the launch of the “Bitwise Uniswap ETF,” a trust designed to hold Uniswap tokens as its primary asset. It provides investors with a regulated vehicle to gain exposure to UNI price movements through traditional brokerage accounts. According to the SEC registration, the ETF would issue shares intended to trade on a U.S. exchange under a yet-to-be-announced ticker symbol. Bitwise Investment Advisers will sponsor and manage the trust, while Coinbase Custody will hold the Uniswap tokens. The structure aims to offer investors exposure to Uniswap without requiring them to manage wallets or private keys. If approved, the Bitwise Uniswap ETF would be the first regulated ETF focused on a DeFi protocol’s native token in the U.S. market. UNI is the governance token for the Uniswap decentralized exchange, one of the largest decentralized trading venues built on Ethereum. Bitwise’s filing arrives in a market where demand for crypto ETFs is evolving. Bitwise and other issuers have recently filed for a range of altcoin-linked ETFs, including products tied to AAVE, Chainlink, and other major tokens. |

Bitcoin Miner MARA Moves 1,318 BTC in 10 Hours, Traders Wary of Forced Miner Selling
Sujha Sundararajan Author Sujha Sundararajan Part of the Team Since Jun 2023 About Author Sujha has been recognised as 🟣 Women In Crypto 2024 🟣 by BeInCrypto for her leadership in crypto journalism. Has Also Written Last updated: 9 minutes ago Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital (MARA) has transferred 1,318 BTC, worth $86.9 million, in 10 hours as Bitcoin slumps to $64K. The miner moved to a mix of three crypto wallets, on-chain data revealed. Per Arkham, MARA moved a large chunk of 653.773 BTC to credit and trading firm Two Prime, worth about $42.01 million in one transfer. Minutes later, a smaller amount of 8.999 BTC, worth about $578,000, was sent to the same Two Prime-tagged address. A separate chunk of about 300 BTC was sent to crypto custodian BitGo-linked wallet, split into two transactions, worth roughly $20.4 million at the time. Besides, MARA also moved 305 BTC to a fresh wallet address, valued at $20.72 million. Tough Period for BTC MinersBitcoin has been crashing so hard in the recent past and is now hovering just above $63,000 at the time of writing, its lowest levels since October 2024. The plunge has taken a toll on Bitcoin miners, making it far less economical for them. Bloomberg reported Thursday that the mining revenue value per unit of computing power, called the hash price index, has dropped to around 3 cents for each terahash. Newhedge research notes that a biweekly figure mining difficulty is set to drop by over 13%, one of the largest decreases since China banned mining in 2021. As a result, shares of major BTC miners tumbled. MARA Holdings slumped more than 18%, while CleanSpark Inc and Riot Platforms Inc fell 19.13 and 14.7%, respectively. MARA Trading Under Pressure – Here’s WhyMARA stock is down over 30% in the past 5 days, and 34% in the last month, according to Google Finance. The company’s share performance is also tied to MARA’s latest insider share transactions report. On January 30, 2026, 14,301 shares of common stock were withheld at $9.50 per share to cover his tax liability upon vesting of restricted stock units, per Stock Titan data. Apart from the headwind from the Bitcoin market downturn, miners have been facing rising power costs largely due to winter storms across the US in late January. Further, energy-rich BTC mining hubs in Texas and Tennessee faced power outages. “It is due to the combination of both the sell-off and winter storms,” Harry Sudock, chief business officer at CleanSpark, told Bloomberg. |

Ethereum Price Prediction as ETH RSI Nears Historic Lows as Weekly Pattern Targets $7,000Ethereum weekly chart shows inverse head and shoulders near neckline while 14 day RSI approaches a historical low zone.
Tatevik Avetisyan2 min read 6 February 2026, 06:38 AM Ethereum’s charts tightened into key levels this week, with a weekly inverse head and shoulders setup in focus. At the same time, ETH’s 14 day RSI moved toward a historical low zone. Ethereum Weekly Chart Shows Inverse Head and Shoulders StructureEthereum's weekly chart shows a developing inverse head and shoulders structure, based on a TradingView snapshot shared by market analyst Bitcoinsensus. The pattern forms after a long decline, with price carving a left shoulder in mid 2024, a deeper low marked as the head in early 2025, and a rebound that may be shaping a right shoulder in early 2026. Ethereum Weekly Chart. Source: Bitcoinsensus on X At the same time, price continues to test a rising neckline resistance drawn across multiple weekly highs. Earlier rallies stalled near this band, which now acts as the main level to watch. As a result, the neckline remains the key reference point for whether the structure completes. The chart also plots a projected path above the neckline, with a measured move extending toward the $7,000 area. The projection reflects the vertical distance from the head to the neckline, then mapped upward from the potential breakout zone. Meanwhile, the right shoulder remains tentative, as price still trades below the resistance band and the structure has not confirmed. James Easton Flags ETH RSI Near Historic LowMarket commentator James Easton said Ethereum’s 14 day RSI is nearing a historical low, based on a TradingView chart he shared on X on Feb. 4. The chart tracks ETHUSD on a 14 day timeframe and shows RSI pressing toward the low band highlighted as a prior extreme. Ethereum U.S. Dollar 14D Chart.

XRP Price Prediction If Bitcoin Price Crash to $50K: Is XRP Better Positioned Than BTC? | cryptonews |
BTC
XRP
|
|
|
Crypto markets remain under pressure as Bitcoin struggles to regain footing, with downside risks increasingly centered around the $50,000 level. Risk appetite has thinned, ETF outflows have accelerated, and trader confidence across majors like Bitcoin and Ethereum continues to erode. XRP has not been immune to the sell-off. The price has moved lower alongside the broader market, reflecting its correlation with Bitcoin during risk-off phases. However, beneath the surface, the structure of XRP’s price decline, and the behaviour of traders around it tells a different story.
While Bitcoin appears to be grappling with sentiment capitulation, XRP’s on-chain and positioning data suggest the asset may be undergoing a controlled reset rather than a breakdown. That divergence raises a key question for the coming weeks: If Bitcoin price falls further, is XRP price better positioned to recover first? Sentiment Divergence: Bitcoin Capitulates While XRP Holds Its GroundRecent data highlights a growing emotional gap between Bitcoin and XRP traders. Following last week’s sharp drawdown, sentiment toward Bitcoin has turned extremely bearish, a level typically associated with fear-driven selling and loss of conviction among retail participants. Ethereum sentiment has tracked a similar path, reinforcing the idea that broader market confidence remains fragile. XRP, however, is showing a more constructive profile. 📊 Sentiment has turned extremely bearish toward Bitcoin and Ethereum following crypto's major downswing this past week. XRP is seeing a more optimistic outlook among traders. 😱 As we know, markets move opposite to the fear & greed of retail traders. There remains a strong… pic.twitter.com/1U23pQ48D6 — Santiment (@santimentfeed) February 4, 2026 Despite price weakness, sentiment around XRP remains comparatively optimistic. This does not signal immediate bullish momentum, but it does indicate that traders are not rushing to abandon positions. Historically, this type of sentiment divergence often emerges near local bottoms, especially when broader markets are still dominated by fear. Markets tend to move against the prevailing emotional bias of retail traders. With Bitcoin sentiment approaching extremes, XRP’s relative resilience suggests it may be closer to sentiment exhaustion than escalation, a condition that often precedes stabilization or short-term relief rallies. The ETF Story the Market Isn’t Talking AboutWhile crypto prices remain under pressure, ETF flow data is quietly sending a message that doesn’t fully match the fear visible on Bitcoin’s chart. As Bitcoin slid lower, BTC spot ETFs saw roughly $258 million in net outflows, extending a clear pattern of institutional de-risking. Ethereum followed the same path, with around $72 million in outflows, reinforcing the view that large allocators are cutting exposure to high-beta majors rather than rotating deeper into risk. XRP, however, told a different story. Despite trading lower on the day, XRP-focused ETFs recorded net inflows of about $1.28 million, a modest figure, but notable in a market where capital was largely exiting elsewhere. More telling was activity: XRP ETF trading volume surged to nearly $79.2 million, pointing to active positioning rather than passive holding. Bitwise led the flow with roughly $40.6 million in volume, alongside participation from Franklin Templeton and Canary Capital. The takeaway isn’t outright bullishness but rotation, not abandonment. While Bitcoin and Ethereum absorb most of the selling pressure, XRP appears to be quietly holding institutional interest, even as the broader market remains cautious. XRP Price Prediction: Can XRP Hold $1.30 and Turn the Trend Back Up?XRP’s recent sell-off has been sharp, but it has now brought price into a zone that traders have been watching closely for weeks. The $1.30 region is not just a psychological level, it aligns with a broader demand area that previously acted as a springboard during earlier corrective phases. The current decline appears driven more by broader market weakness and Bitcoin-led risk aversion than by XRP-specific deterioration. On the chart, XRP has unwound from its rising structure and slid into this demand pocket after a steady sequence of lower highs. If XRP manages to hold above $1.30 on a daily closing basis, the structure opens the door for a relief move back toward the $1.45–$1.50 zone, where prior breakdowns and short-term supply are stacked. A successful reclaim of that range would shift the narrative from correction to stabilization, with $2.00 coming back into focus as a medium-term objective rather than a distant upside. Meanwhile, a clean break of $1.20 would expose XRP to a deeper downside toward the $1.15–$1.20 region, where the next meaningful demand sits.

Dogecoin Charts Flash Cycle Pump Setup as Weekly PMO Dips Under Macro Line | cryptonews |
DOGE
|
|
|
Dogecoin’s monthly chart shows a familiar pattern of long consolidation phases that later break into sharp pump moves, based on a cycle map shared by Trader Tardigrade. Meanwhile, Bitcoinsensus pointed to a weekly PMO drop below a macro threshold that previously appeared near major cycle lows.
Dogecoin Monthly Chart Maps Pullback Then Pump PatternA monthly Dogecoin chart shared by trader Tardigrade shows a repeating cycle that pairs long consolidations with sharp upside moves. The chart marks several completed cycles since 2014, where price first pulled back into rounded bases and then surged in steep vertical advances labeled as “pump” phases. The structure appears in different lengths, which the trader labels as standard, shorter, and longer consolidations. As a result, the chart frames Dogecoin’s history as a sequence of compression periods followed by rapid expansions. Dogecoin 1M Chart: Source: Trader Tardigrade via X The visual record shows that consolidation phases varied in duration across cycles, while each cycle ended with a strong upside leg. In earlier phases, price spent extended time building a base before breaking higher. In later phases, the base formed faster, followed by a sharp vertical move. Therefore, the pattern highlights that timing differs across cycles, yet the sequence of pullback, range formation, and expansion repeated on the monthly timeframe. The most recent section of the chart places Dogecoin in a rounded base after a prolonged decline from the prior cycle peak. Price action compressed into a narrower range, with higher lows forming along a rising curve. At the right edge of the chart, the projection highlights a potential expansion leg that mirrors earlier pump phases. Consequently, the setup frames the current structure as the late stage of consolidation rather than the expansion phase already in progress. Across prior cycles, expansion phases began after price reclaimed key monthly support zones and pushed above the upper boundary of the rounded base. In each case, the breakout led to steep monthly candles and rapid distance from the base. Therefore, if the historical sequence holds, the chart suggests that the next decisive move would occur after sustained acceptance above the current consolidation ceiling, which would signal a transition from compression to expansion on the monthly chart. Weekly PMO Signal Flags Possible Dogecoin Macro BottomA Dogecoin chart shared by Bitcoinsensus highlights the Price Momentum Oscillator on the weekly timeframe and shows it slipping below a white threshold line the analyst treats as a macro bottom marker. The post says the same downside crossover appeared near major cycle lows in the past, and each time it preceded a longer recovery phase in price. Dogecoin Weekly PMO Cycle Chart: Source: Bitcoinsensus The chart divides Dogecoin’s history into multiple cycles and pairs each cycle low with a similar PMO dip under the reference line. Those moments align with periods when price stopped trending lower, then shifted into a flatter base before later upside moves. As a result, the indicator reading frames the current area as a potential late stage of the decline rather than the start of a new down leg. The latest signal places Dogecoin in the same technical condition the analyst labels as a repeat bottom pattern. If the prior sequence repeats, the chart implies the next steps would include stabilization above the recent base, followed by a trend change that develops over weeks or months, not days. However, the setup remains conditional because a sustained breakdown after the crossover would weaken the historical analogue. |

Will Markets Crash Further When $2B Bitcoin Options Expire Today? | cryptonews |
BTC
|
|
|
Friday has come around again, which means another batch of expiring Bitcoin options as spot markets continue to melt down.
Around 34,000 Bitcoin options contracts will expire on Friday, Feb. 6, with a notional value of roughly $2.1 billion. This event is much smaller than last week’s end-of-month expiry. Crypto markets have collapsed into bear market territory, losing around $686 billion since the start of the week, as sentiment plunges and both retail and institutional investors dump crypto assets. Bitcoin Options Expiry This week’s batch of Bitcoin options contracts has a put/call ratio of 0.59, meaning that there are more expiring calls (longs) than puts (shorts). Max pain is around $82,000, according to Coinglass, which is well above current spot prices, so many will be out of the money on expiry. Open interest (OI), or the value or number of Bitcoin options contracts yet to expire, remains highest at $100,000 and $70,000, which have $1.1 billion at these strike prices on Deribit. Total BTC options OI across all exchanges has been in decline for a week and is at $32.5 billion. “BTC option flows suggesting downside plays not over,” said Deribit. “Bitcoin’s open interest is stacked through the $80K to $90K region, with elevated put activity showing traders leaned defensive into the move.” 🚨 Options Expiry Alert 🚨 At 8:00 UTC tomorrow, over $2.5B in crypto options are set to expire.$BTC: $2.15B notional | Put/Call: 1.42 | Max Pain: $82K$ETH: $408M notional | Put/Call: 1.13 | Max Pain: $2.55K Bitcoin’s open interest is stacked through the $80K to $90K region,… pic.twitter.com/WPCdYeS2aC — Deribit (@DeribitOfficial) February 5, 2026 “The upcoming $60,000 range represents the consolidation zone prior to the Trump rally, where support remains relatively strong. Should a rapid dip occur in the short term, it may present a buying opportunity,” said crypto derivatives provider Greeks Live. In addition to today’s batch of Bitcoin options, around 217,000 Ethereum contracts are also expiring, with a notional value of $400 million, max pain at $2,550, and a put/call ratio of 1.15. Total ETH options OI across all exchanges is around $7.1 billion. This brings the total notional value of crypto options expiries to around $2.5 billion.

Bitcoin’s crash to $60,000 has traders hunting for a hidden fund blowupTraders on X are pointing to everything from a Hong Kong fund blowup to yen funding stress and even quantum security fears as bitcoin’s plunge turns into a full-blown narrative vacuum. Feb 6, 2026, 6:52 a.m.
Bitcoin’s plunge to nearly $60,000 on Thursday, a nearly 30% drop over 7 days, has got traders on X began floating theories that the selloff was not purely macro or risk-off, but various reasons that contributed to the asset’s worst single-day performance since FTX crashed in 2022. Flood, a prominent crypto trader, called it in an X post the most vicious selling he’s seen in years and said it felt “forced” and “indiscriminate,” floating possibilities ranging from a sovereign dumping billions to an exchange balance sheet blowup. STORY CONTINUES BELOW Few theories: - Secret Sovereign dumping $10B+ (Saudi/UAE/Russia/China) - Exchange blowup, or Exchange that had tens of billions of dollars of Bitcoin on the balance sheet forced to sell for whatever reason.Pantera Capital general partner Franklin Bi offered a more detailed theory. He suggested the seller could be a large Asia-based player with limited crypto-native counterparties, meaning the market would not “sniff them out” quickly. My guess is that it's not a crypto-focused trading firm but someone large outside of crypto, likely based in Asia, with very few crypto-native counterparties. hence why no one has sniffed them out on CT. comfortably leveraged & market-making on Binance --> JPY carry trade unwind --> 10/10 liquidity crisis --> ~90-day reprieve granted --> backfired attempt to recover on gold/silver trade --> desperate unwind this week.In his view, the chain of events may have started with leverage on Binance, then worsened as carry trades unwound and liquidity evaporated, with a failed attempt to recover losses in gold and silver accelerating the forced unwind this week. But the more unusual narrative emerging from the crash is not about leverage. It is about security. Charles Edwards of Capriole argued that falling prices may finally force serious attention on bitcoin’s quantum security risks. Edwards said he was “serious” when he warned last year that bitcoin might need to go lower to incentivize meaningful action, calling recent developments the first “promising progress” he has seen so far. $50K not that far away now. I was serious when I said last year that price would need to go lower to incentivize proper attention to Bitcoin quantum security. This is the first promising progress we have seen to date. I genuinely hope Saylor is serious about establishing a well funded Bitcoin Security team.He would have significant sway across the network in affecting change. I am concerned that his statement today is a false flag, to simply diminish mounting quantum fear without substantive action, but I would love for this to be wrong. We have a lot of work to do, and it needs to be done in 2026.Parker White, COO and CIO at DeFi Development Corp., pointed to unusual activity in BlackRock’s spot bitcoin ETF (IBIT) as a possible culprit behind Thursday’s washout. He noted IBIT posted its biggest-ever volume day at $10.7 billion, alongside a record $900 million in options premium, arguing the pattern fits a large options-driven liquidation rather than a typical crypto-native leverage unwind. The last small piece of evidence I have is that I personally know a number of HK-based hedge funds that are holders of $DFDV, which had the worst single down day ever, with a meaningful mNAV decline. The mNAV had been holding steady surprisingly well throughout this pull back until today. One of these fund(s) could have been connected to the IBIT culprit, as I highly doubt a fund taking that large of a position in IBIT and using a single entity structure would only have the one fund.Now, I could easily see how the fund(s) could have been running a levered options trade on IBIT (think way OTM calls = ultra high gamma) with borrowed capital in JPY. Oct 10th could very well have blown a hole in their balance sheet, that they tried to win back by adding leverage waiting for the "obvious" rebound. As that led to increased losses, coupled with increased funding costs in JPY, I could see how the fund(s) would have gotten more desperate and hopped on the Silver trade. When that blew up, things got dire and this last push in BTC finished them off.“I have no hard evidence here, just some hunches and bread crumbs, but it does seem very plausible,” White wrote on X. Bitcoin’s drop over the past week has been less about a slow grind lower and more about sudden air pockets, with sharp intraday swings replacing the orderly dip-buying seen earlier this year. The move has dragged BTC back toward levels last traded in late 2024, while liquidity has looked thin across major venues. With altcoins under heavier pressure and sentiment collapsing to post-FTX style readings, traders are now treating each rebound as suspect until flows and positioning visibly reset. |

Tesla maintains competitive showing in China-made EV sales despite industry headwinds | stocknewsapi |
TSLA
|
|
|
Tesla remained a strong contender in Beijing's competitive electric vehicle scene, as the company's China-produced EV sales grew modestly in January from the year before, amid a broader industry slowdown.
According to data published by the China Passenger Car Association on Wednesday, January deliveries from Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory rose by 9% to 69,129 units, from 63,238 in January 2025. The latest January deliveries places Tesla in third place against other Chinese EV manufacturers. BYD was in the lead at 205,518 shipments, while Geely came in second with 124,252 units, according to the CPCA. Despite the rise in deliveries, there is little indication of an actual growth in demand for Tesla's offerings in China — the world's largest EV market. The company's January delivery figures reflect the total number of shipments from Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory, which produces the Model 3 and Model Y for domestic and foreign markets in Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and elsewhere. New registrations in January for Tesla passenger vehicles — a proxy for sales — rose slightly in Europe, according to Reuters. Domestic price warTesla has faced stiff competition from a number of Chinese EV brands with more affordable offerings. In a separate report, the CPCA noted that the total sales of Tesla's China-produced EVs fell by 4.8% in 2025 — one of only two manufacturers in Beijing that reported declining annual sales from the year before. At around 235,500 yuan ($33,943), Tesla's base Model 3 sedan costs nearly three times the price of the base model for BYD's Seal, at around 79,800 yuan. Like other automakers, Tesla has sought to maintain its competitiveness in China through aggressive price cuts. According to its Chinese website, Tesla has begun offering five-year 0% interest loans, or seven-year "ultra-low" interest rate loans for orders placed before Feb. 28. "We have [had] really intense price wars that have gone on, although the government and industry have called on automakers to not engage with aggressive pricing strategies," Abbie Tu, principal research analyst from S&P Global Mobility, tells CNBC. Despite these involutive price wars, China's EV market has slowed considerably. According to CPCA data, new energy vehicle sales, which include hybrid and battery-powered cars, grew by only 1% year on year in January - a fourth-straight month of slowing growth. The slowdown is projected to continue, as Beijing has slashed support for new EV sales. From Jan. 1, a 5% tax on new energy vehicle purchases was reinstated, after previously being exempted from the full 10% tax for more than a decade. New energy vehicles include battery and hybrid-powered cars. New regulationsTesla's challenges are further compounded by a recent announcement from Beijing which will effectively ban concealed door handles. On Monday, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that from Jan. 1, 2027, all door handles on cars sold in the country must have interior and exterior mechanical releases. The announcement follows a spate of high-profile incidents in the U.S. and China, where EV occupants involved in road accidents could not be freed after their vehicles caught fire, as a result of power failures in the door-locking mechanisms. While automakers in China have a decent runway to ensure compliance with the new regulations, it remains to be seen how Tesla will adapt, given that flush door handles were first popularized as a signature design feature on Tesla's minimalist vehicles. Some analysts, like Tu Le, founder and managing director of consulting firm Sino Auto Insights, see China's new car door handle restrictions as likely to pose a "decent sized headache" for Tesla. However, Tu said, China's new regulations will likely have little impact on most automakers. "I think for lots of Chinese brands, this new regulation [will not] take them by surprise, because when regulators were drafting the new regulations, they consulted OEMs and industry experts intensively," Tu says. CNBC's Evelyn Cheng contributed to this report. |

This Stock Is Already Up 40% This Year, And an Emerging Tailwind Could Push It Even Higher | stocknewsapi |
XPO
|
|
|
XPO is having a breakout year. Here's why it could continue.
Tech investors are still licking their wounds as the bloodbath in the software sector continues, but if you look elsewhere in the stock market, there have been some surprising winners this year. One of them is XPO (XPO +3.25%), a leading less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier in North America and Europe. XPO is up a remarkable 39% year-to-date, and nearly all of those gains have come just this week as the company jumped on a strong manufacturing report from the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) and as sector leader Old Dominion Freight Lines expressed optimism for 2026. XPO backed up those gains with its own strong results in the fourth quarter on Thursday. Revenue rose 5% to $2.01 billion, topping estimates at $1.95 billion, driven by a 5.2% increase in yield, or price, even as tonnage per day declined 4.5%, in line with ongoing weakness in the industrial sector. The company delivered its strongest results yet across key service metrics, such as damage ratio and on-time delivery rate, enabling it to raise prices. It's also significantly reduced its outsourced linehaul miles, and those initiatives have improved the company's margins. Adjusted operating ratio in North America, its primary market, improved 180 basis points to 84.4%, equal to an operating margin of 15.6%. Adjusted for gains in real estate sales, earnings per share increased from $0.68 to $0.80, ahead of the consensus at $0.76. Following its surge earlier in the week, XPO stock was up 4% in trading on Thursday afternoon. Image source: XPO. Can XPO keep climbing? What kicked off the rally in the stock earlier this week, sending XPO shares up 10% on Monday, was a report from the ISM showing that manufacturing activity expanded in the U.S. in January for the first time in more than two years with a reading of 52.6%. XPO's business and the LTL industry as a whole are highly correlated with manufacturing activity, as roughly two-thirds of XPO's shipments are for industrial goods. The company has managed to deliver solid results in recent quarters even as volume has declined, but a manufacturing expansion would likely lead to rising volumes and could drive XPO's revenue and profits significantly higher. In an interview with The Motley Fool, XPO Chief Strategy Officer Ali Faghri said the company estimates volumes are down 15%-17% from what they would be in a healthy industrial economy, which would provide a huge lever if that demand normalized. Additionally, the industry has lost capacity since the bankruptcy of Yellow, which could further boost prices in a manufacturing recovery. The company may already be seeing signs that demand is improving, as volume was flat in January, even with an estimated 3 percentage-point hit from the winter storms in the eastern half of the country. Faghri said the company could be "off to the races" if the economy bounces back, as it has invested significantly in recent years, adding 25 service centers, 19,000 trailers, and 6,000 tractors since 2022. Today's Change ( 3.25 %) $ 5.84 Current Price $ 185.38 The long-term picture Looking at the headline numbers, XPO stock looks expensive, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio around 50, so some of those recovery tailwinds seem to be baked into the stock. Still, the company expects to improve free cash flow even without a macroeconomic tailwind as it is moving past an earlier investment cycle, which Faghri said would leave more cash available to return to shareholders. XPO is also expanding into new premium services like grocery consolidation, in addition to local services and serving small and medium-sized businesses. Overall, XPO has executed well in a difficult environment, driving operational improvements and expanding margins. If the manufacturing sector recovers, the stock has the potential to move significantly higher. |

ORCL Stockholder Alert: Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of the Class Action Lawsuit Against Oracle Corporation | stocknewsapi |
ORCL
|
|
|
, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) common stock between June 12, 2025 and December 16, 2025. Oracle is a technology company that provides, among other things, infrastructure for operating artificial intelligence ("AI") programs.
For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003. The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Oracle Corporation (ORCL) Misled Investors Regarding its Data Center Capabilities for AI Infrastructure According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants touted its contracts to develop data center capabilities for AI infrastructure and falsely assured investors that the Company's significant capital expenditures ("CapEx") would quickly result in accelerated revenue growth. The Company simultaneously failed to disclose that its AI infrastructure strategy would result in massive increases in CapEx without equivalent, near-term growth in revenue, and that the Company's substantially increased spending created serious risks involving Oracle's debt and credit rating, free cash flow, and ability to fund its projects, among other concerns. Plaintiff alleges a series of disclosures between September 2025 and December 2025 that caused Oracle's stock declined significantly. Finally, on December 17, 2025, Financial Times reported that Blue Owl Capital—"the primary [financial] backer for Oracle's largest data center projects in the US"—had backed out of funding a $10 billion Oracle data center intended to serve OpenAI. According to the report, Blue Owl pulled out of the deal as a result of concerns about Oracle's spending commitments and rising debt levels. On this news, the price of Oracle common stock declined $10.19 per share, or approximately 5.4%, from a close of $188.65 per share on December 16, 2025, to close at $178.46 per share on December 17, 2025. What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against Oracle Corporation. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class should contact Robbins LLP. The lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery.

Unum: Underwriting Disappoints Again, But Valuation Is Low | stocknewsapi |
UNM
|
|
|
Unum Group remains a 'buy' despite Q4 earnings miss and persistent underwriting weakness, as current valuation reflects downside risks. UNM's core business faces margin compression from higher claims and increased competition, with management guiding to lower-than-consensus EPS for 2024. The Closed Block legacy unit is excluded from valuation, as its equity is unlikely to generate shareholder value for years.
