Market Signal Briefing

Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) has issued a bold midterm prediction for Bitcoin (BTC) price. With Bitcoin price down 42% from its peak to hit a 14 month low of about $72k earlier today, Stifel stated that the flagship coin is on the cusp of further capitulation, with a target of $38k.

Stifel Warns of a 46% Bitcoin Drop in 2026With the crypto market having lost more than $1.7 trillion in the past few months, Stifel cautioned that institutional and retail interest has dropped heavily. As such, the behemoth financial institution believes that the extreme fear will push Bitcoin price to $38,000 in coming months.

Stifel based this Bitcoin prediction on the past cycles, where a potential top was hit in October 2025. The bank cited tighter Fed’s policy, slow U.S. crypto regulations, shrinking liquidity, and heavy spot BTC ETFs outflow as the lagging indicator for a major selloff ahead. 

What’s the Bigger PictureBitcoin price is well positioned to rally exponentially before the end of 2026 catalyzed by supportive liquidity flow. Moreover, the weakening U.S. dollar amid expected reversal of Gold price is a lagging indicator for a bullish Bitcoin outlook.

Moreover, Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, believes that Bitcoin price is very close to its bear market bottom.  According to John Deaton, Bitcoin price has suffered suppression through paper contracts in a similar manner as Silver by the traditional banks.

Nevertheless, Bitcoin is well poised to rebound backed by the notable decline in its supply amid a rising demand. Earlier today, Senator Cynthia Lummis urged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to buy Bitcoin using the country’s Gold reserves.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) struggle to hold above $70,000 carried on into Wednesday, raising concerns that the a drop into the $60,000 range could be the next stop. The sell-off was accompanied by futures market liquidations, a $55 billion drop in BTC open interest (OI) over the past 30 days, and rising Bitcoin inflows to exchanges.

The price weakness has analysts debating whether crypto-specific factors or larger macro-economic issues are the driving factor behind the sell-off and what it may mean for BTC’s short-term future.

Key takeaways: 

Around 744,000 BTC in open interest exited major exchanges in 30 days, equal to roughly $55 billion at current prices.

BTC futures cumulative volume delta (CVD) fell by $40 billion over the past 6-months.

Crypto exchange reserves have risen by 34,000 BTC since mid-January, increasing the near-term supply risk.

Bitcoin weekly chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewBTC open interest collapse points to large-scale deleveragingCryptoQuant data noted that Bitcoin’s 30-day open interest change shows a sharp contraction across exchanges, reflecting widespread position closures, not just freshly opened short positions. 

On Binance, the net open interest fell by 276,869 BTC over the past month. Bybit recorded the largest decline at 330,828 BTC, while OKX saw a reduction of 136,732 BTC on Tuesday.

In total, roughly 744,000 BTC worth of open positions were closed, equivalent to more than $55 billion at current prices. This drop in open positions coincided with Bitcoin’s drop below $75,000, indicating deleveraging as a driving factor, not just spot selling.

Bitcoin open interest 30D change. Source: CryptoQuantOnchain analyst Boris highlighted that the cumulative volume delta (CVD) data shows market sell orders continue to dominate, particularly on Binance, where derivatives CVD sits near -$38 billion over the past six months.

Other exchanges show varying dynamics: Bybit’s CVD flattened near $100 million after a sharp December liquidation wave, while HTX stabilized at -$200 million in CVD as the price consolidates near $74,000.

Increased exchange flows add pressure as analysts watch key levelsMeanwhile, Bitcoin inflows to exchanges surged in January, totaling roughly 756,000 BTC, led by Binance and Coinbase. Since early February, inflows have exceeded 137,000 BTC, underscoring traders’ repositioning and not necessarily leaving the market.

On the supply side, analyst Axel Adler Jr. noted that exchange reserves have risen from 2.718 million BTC to 2.752 million BTC since Jan. 19. The analyst warned that continued growth above 2.76 million BTC could increase selling pressure. The analyst believed that a complete capitulation is yet to take place, which may happen at lower price levels.

Bitcoin exchange reserves. Source: CryptoQuantMarket analyst Scient said Bitcoin is unlikely to form a bottom in a single day or week. Durable market bottoms may develop through two to three months of consolidation near the major support zones, with higher time frame indicators. Scient noted that whether this structure forms in the high $60,000 range or the low $50,000 level remains unclear.

Bitcoin Trader Mark Cullen continues to see potential downside toward $50,000 in a broader macro scenario, but expects a short-term reversion toward the local point of control ($89,000 to $86,000) after BTC swept weekly lows below $74,000 on Tuesday.

Key Takeaways ABBV posted Q4 adjusted EPS of $2.71 and revenues of $16.62B, both beating consensus estimates.AbbVie saw strong growth from Skyrizi and Rinvoq, while Humira and Imbruvica sales declined year over year.ABBV guided 2026 adjusted EPS of $14.37-$14.57, excluding impacts from proposed acquisitions. AbbVie Inc. (ABBV - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted EPS of $2.71, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.66. The reported figure also exceeded the company’s guidance of $2.61-$2.65 issued last month. Earnings rose more than 25% year over year.

ABBV’s revenues of $16.62 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $16.36 billion. Sales rose 10.0% year over year on a reported basis and 9.5% on an operational basis. This reported figure also surpassed the company’s forecast of over $16.30 billion.

Revenues in the quarter were driven by robust sales of key drugs Rinvoq, Skyrizi, Venclexta and Vraylar, coupled with significant contributions from newer drugs, namely Ubrelvy, Qulipta, Elahere and Vyalev. Sales of Humira and Imbruvica declined year over year.

All growth rates mentioned below are on a year-on-year basis and at constant exchange rates (CER).

Immunology Drugs Drive ABBV’s Top LineIn immunology, net revenues from Rinvoq for the quarter totaled $2.37 billion, up nearly 29%. The upside was likely driven by market share gains across all approved indications, as well as the recent label expansion in giant cell arteritis across the United States and the EU last year. However, Rinvoq’s sales missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.39 billion.

Net revenues recorded from Skyrizi were $5.01 billion, up about 32%. This surge in sales was likely driven by strong volume growth and continued market share gains. Skyrizi sales beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.91 billion.

AbbVie’s flagship product Humira recorded a sales decline of 26% to $1.25 billion for the quarter. Sales in the United States declined 28% to $897 million, while ex-U.S. market sales were down 21% to $349 million. However, the drug’s overall sales beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $949 million.

This substantial decline in Humira sales was due to the drug’s loss of exclusivity in the United States since January 2023. The drug lost its exclusivity in ex-U.S. territories in 2018.

ABBV Neuroscience Drugs’ PerformanceSales from the neuroscience portfolio rose more than 17% to $2.96 billion, driven by higher sales of Botox Therapeutic, depression drug Vraylar, and migraine drugs Ubrelvy and Qulipta. Yet, the franchise’s sales missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.00 billion.

While Botox Therapeutic sales rose 13% to $990 million, sales of Vraylar increased 10.5% to $1.02 billion.

Sales of Ubrelvy totaled $339 million, up 12%. Qulipta sales rose 42% to $288 million.

Sales of Vyalev, the recently approved transformative therapy for advanced Parkinson’s disease, totaled $183 million compared with $138 million in the previous quarter.

ABBV Oncology Drugs’ PerformanceSales from the oncology franchise fell 2.5% to $1.66 billion in the quarter. This downtick was due to declining Imbruvica sales, which more than offset the growth in sales of newer oncology drugs, Epkinly and Elahere, as well as rising Venclexta sales. The metric missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.72 billion.

Fourth-quarter net revenues from Imbruvica were down 21% to $671 million, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $715 million. ABBV markets this drug in partnership with Johnson & Johnson (JNJ - Free Report) .

U.S. sales of J&J-partnered Imbruvica declined 25% to $469 million due to rising competition from novel oral treatments. AbbVie shares international profits earned from Imbruvica with J&J. The company’s share of profit from the drug’s international sales declined 9% to $202 million.

AbbVie’s leukemia drug Venclexta generated revenues of $710 million in the reported quarter, reflecting growth of more than 6% growth. Yet, this drug’s sales missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $725 million. The company markets Venclexta in collaboration with Roche (RHHBY - Free Report) .

Sales of the breast cancer drug, Elahere, rose more than 21% to $182 million. However, the metric missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $192 million.

Epkinly sales, which comprise AbbVie’s share of profit from U.S. revenues and product revenues from international markets, amounted to $81 million in the quarter compared with $69 million in the previous quarter. The drug is marketed in partnership with Genmab (GMAB - Free Report) .

ABBV’s Aesthetics & Other DrugsAbbVie’s aesthetics portfolio sales were down 1% to $1.29 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.28 billion. Botox Cosmetic sales rose about 4% to $717 million. Juvederm sales declined 11% to $249 million.

Eye care portfolio sales declined 11% to $580 million. Sales of Ozurdex, a key drug in the portfolio, rose more than 4% to $128 million.

Cost DiscussionAdjusted SG&A expenses rose 4% year over year to $3.71 billion. Adjusted R&D expenses amounted to $2.56 billion, up around 13%.

Full-Year 2025 ResultsFull-year sales rose 8.6% on a reported basis and 8.5% on an operational basis to $61.16 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $60.93 billion. Sales were slightly higher than the guided figure of about $60.9 billion.

Adjusted EPS for 2025 were $10.00 per share, down 1% year over year. This metric beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9.95 as well as the guided range of $9.90 and $9.94.

AbbVie Issues Encouraging 2026 Financial OutlookAbbVie issued fresh guidance for the full year. It expects adjusted EPS to be in the range of $14.37-$14.57. This guided range does not include any impact from the company’s proposed acquisitions and potential milestone payments. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings is pinned at $14.32 per share.

Our Take on ABBV’s ResultsAbbVie’s first-quarter results were better than expected, with both the top- and bottom-lines beating the consensus mark. The company also issued fresh EPS guidance for 2026, likely driven by the encouraging sales potential of its marketed products, especially Skyrizi. The aesthetics franchise also made a recovery in the segment after a prolonged period of soft performance, while Humira sales, despite continued generic erosion, exceeded expectations.

Despite these positives, AbbVie’s shares were trading lower in pre-market trading today. This was likely due to the soft sales performance of Rinvoq and oncology drugs, which fell short of expectations.

In the past year, the stock has gained about 19% compared with the industry’s 16% growth.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Looking ahead, AbbVie’s continued focus on inorganic growth is aimed at strengthening its early-stage pipeline across multiple therapeutic areas and supporting long-term growth. The decline in full-year 2025 EPS largely reflects the company’s recent spree of acquisitions and licensing deals, which have weighed on near-term earnings.

In the past year, EPS was impacted by $2.72 due to IPR&D charges of approximately $5.02 billion, tied to aggressive business development efforts. These include the acquisitions of privately held immunology drugmaker Capstan Therapeutics and a psychedelic compound from Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals.

Key Takeaways RYAAY transported 12.7 million passengers in January 2026, a 2% year-over-year increase.RYAAY's January 2026 load factor of 91% was flat year over year, reflecting stable and consistent demand.RYAAY operated more than 73,000 flights in January 2026. Ryanair Holdings (RYAAY - Free Report) , a European carrier, reported solid traffic numbers for January 2026, driven by upbeat air-travel demand.

The number of passengers transported on Ryanair flights was 12.7 million in January 2026, reflecting a 2% year-over-year increase. Ryanair’s load factor (percentage of seats filled by passengers) remained flat year over year at 91% in January 2026, reflecting stable and consistent demand for the carrier’s services. RYAAY operated more than 73,000 flights in January 2026.

With travel bookings rising across the industry, Ryanair’s passenger revenues are also increasing. Because of this air-travel demand strength, RYAAY's traffic grew 9% year over year to 183.7 million passengers in fiscal 2024. Further, we would like to remind investors that Ryanair carried 200.2 million passengers (traffic up 9% year over year) in its fiscal year ending March 2025, positioning itself as the first European airline to reach 200 million passengers in a single year. As a result, RYAAY is now the world’s leading low-fare airline in terms of passenger traffic, with low fares and reduced costs acting as the main catalyst. During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, RYAAY’s traffic grew 4% year over year to 166.5 million passengers. 

Given the aforesaid encouraging backdrops, Ryanair has unveiled its raised traffic outlook for fiscal 2026 (concurrent with its third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings release on Jan. 26, 2026). Ryanair now expects its fiscal 2026 traffic to grow by 4% to 208 million passengers (prior view: 207 million), owing to earlier than expected Boeing (BA - Free Report) deliveries and solid demand during the first nine months of fiscal 2026.

RYAAY’s Zacks Rank & Price PerformanceRYAAY currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Shares of RYAAY have gained 51% over the past year, outperforming the 13.5% increase of the Zacks Airline industry.

Key Takeaways CLS delivered Q4 earnings and revenue beats, driven by 64% year-over-year growth in the CCS segment.CLS saw strong demand for 400G and 800G switches and AI/ML compute programs, driving the top line.CLS generated strong free cash flow, but faces ATS weakness and customer concentration risk. Celestica, Inc. (CLS - Free Report) recorded strong fourth-quarter 2025 results with adjusted earnings and revenues beating the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate. Top-line expansion year over year is backed by strong growth in the Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment. Management’s emphasis on innovation, product diversification and AI advancements was a key growth driver.

CLS Rides on Strength in CCS Segment and Robust LiquidityCelestica is benefiting from healthy traction in the CCS segment, backed by robust demand in the Communication and Enterprise businesses. Resilient demand for 400G switches and 800G network switch adoption is driving growth in the Communications end market. Ramping of a next-generation AI/ML compute program with a large hyperscaler customer is driving growth in the Enterprise business. Revenues from the Enterprise business were up by 33% year over year, while the communications end market generated 79% year over year growth in net sales. Total revenues in the Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment improved 64% year over year to $2.86 billion.

The company is closely working with Google on the development of complex data center hardware and systems. It is the preferred manufacturing partner for Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU). The company is steadily expanding its capacity and capabilities in the United States and globally to support growing adoption of Google’s custom silicon TPU systems.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Celestica generated $250.6 million in cash from operations compared with $143.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Free cash flow was $155.9 million, up 62.7% year over year. This accentuates efficient capital management and implies that the company is well-positioned to invest in growth initiatives, as well as pay debt and dividends.

The company’s inventory balance was $2.19 billion, up $427 million compared to the prior year. Cash cycle days were 61 days; an improvement of 8 days compared to the prior year quarter. A cash cycle indicates the average time it takes to convert inventory goods into cash through sales. Celestica’s reduced cash cycle days are a positive factor. Moreover, CLS’ strong liquidity better positions it to navigate economic downturns and capitalize on emerging growth opportunities in the electronics manufacturing service industry.

Major Challenges for CLSCelestica’s growth is highly dependent on AI data center spending by hyperscalers. Any downtrend in hyperscaler capex can significantly impact demand for Celestica’s data center solutions. Moreover, the company is highly exposed to significant customer concentration risk. Its largest three customers generated approximately 63% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025. The company operates in a highly competitive electronics manufacturing services industry. It faces competition from other industry leaders such as Jabil, Inc. (JBL - Free Report) , Sanmina and Flex Ltd. (FLEX - Free Report) . Given the competitive nature of the industry, any changes in the demand pattern of any of the major customers can have a significant negative impact on the company’s financial results.

It is also witnessing weakness in the Advanced Technology Solutions segment. Revenues declined 1% year over year in the fourth quarter. Capital Equipment business remains soft. The Aerospace and Defense portfolio reshaping strategy is weighing on growth in this segment.

Moreover, the company generates the lion’s share of its revenues outside of North America. This exposes it to foreign exchange fluctuations. Growing geopolitical volatility worldwide can impact the company’s operations.

Price PerformanceCelestica has increased 125.4% in the past year compared with the Electronics - Manufacturing Services industry’s growth of 74.4%. The stock has outperformed the Zacks Computer & Technology sector and the S&P 500 during the same time frame.

The company has outperformed its peers like Jabil and Flex. Shares of Jabil have jumped 51.8% and shares of Flex have risen 57.4%.

Estimate Revision TrendEarnings estimates for Celestica for 2025 and 2026 have increased over the past 60 days.

Key Valuation Metric of CLSFrom a valuation standpoint, CLS is currently trading at a premium compared to the industry. Going by the price/earnings ratio, the company’s shares currently trade at 34.42 forward 12-month earnings, higher than 23.59 for the industry.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

End NoteCelestica is witnessing solid momentum in the CCS segment, backed by solid demand for the company’s enterprise-level data communications and information processing infrastructure products, such as routers, switches, and data center interconnects. Strong growth in cash flow and robust liquidity are positive factors. Capital discipline and efficient capital management are tailwinds.

However, demand softness in the ATS segment due to softness in the capital equipment business is weighing on the top line. Customer concentration and high dependence on hyperscalers’ AI-related spending remain a major concern. With a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), CLS appears to be treading in the middle of the road, and new investors could be better off if they trade with caution.

Presentation

Operator

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Lundbeck Financial Statement for the Full Year 2025 Conference Call. I'm Lorenzo, the Chorus Call operator. [Operator Instructions] The conference is being recorded. The conference must not be recorded for publication or broadcast. At this time, it's my pleasure to hand over to Charl van Zyl, President and CEO. Please go ahead.

Charl van Zyl
President & CEO

So good morning, everyone. Welcome to our full year 2025 earnings call. Of course, it's my pleasure to really present to you our outstanding results. It's been again another record year for Lundbeck in 2025, and it's really underpinned by very strong fundamentals, very much underpinned by our focused innovator strategic path. You'll hear me say a lot about the results very much in the sense of it's not by chance, but by clear intent that we are delivering these outstanding results.

If we can go to the next slide, please. So of course, our discussions today are containing forward-looking statements, which, of course, are subject to change.

So, let's go to the next slide, please. And here, I would like to take a moment just

Analysts at Wedbush and Baird welcomed Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD, XETRA:AMD)’s fourth quarter 2025 results as solid, but flagged caveats which may have contributed to a sharp post-earnings sell-off.

Wedbush said AMD delivered “positive results, albeit also not as positive as the print looked,” noting that much of the data center upside came from MI308 sales to China, which suggested “more muted growth for AI silicon net this one-time benefit.”

The firm also highlighted that gross margins of 57% beat consensus of 54.5%, though part of the upside was tied to previously written-off MI308 inventories.

Wedbush also noted AMD’s first-quarter guidance exceeded prior revenue expectations by $300 million and 50 basis points, but $100 million of that came again from MI308 shipments to China.

“Even without the benefit of being able to write up inventory, AMD’s outlook in particular was better than consensus expectations,” the analysts wrote, adding that tight server CPU supply and AMD’s superior product profile “should yield both pricing and mix benefits that likely boost sales and GMs over at least the next few quarters.”

Wedbush reiterated its ‘Outperform’ rating with a $290 price target, citing management’s confidence in achieving revenue growth above 35% over the next three to five years.

“While we continue to have less visibility into AMD's AI ramp, we still believe they are best positioned to offer a comparable 2nd source vs. NVDA and we also have no concrete data points that would cause us to doubt management's optimistic outlook around future prospects,” they wrote.

Baird also emphasized strong underlying performance, noting that AMD is “navigating supply constraints well so far” and has “strong design win momentum.”

The firm highlighted that hyperscaler AI-related demand remains robust and MI450 shipments are on track to begin in Q3 2026, with meaningful volume expected in q4 2026.

Baird also pointed to AMD securing $17 billion in design wins in 2025, up nearly 20% year-over-year, and said initial demand for server CPU Venice is “very strong.”

Baird's analysts reiterated their price target of $300 but lowered its suitability rating to Higher Risk from Speculative “to reflect the company's well-entrenched traction in AI with a broad based set of hardware products, ramping software platforms, and multiple tier-one customer engagements.”

Despite these fundamentals, AMD shares fell more than 17% to about $201 in after-hours trading. Wedbush attributed the sell-off in part to the “growing shortages of CPUs seemingly creating more opportunity to extract incremental value that wasn’t apparent in results or guidance.” Baird noted that broader market considerations and pricing pressure in the PC segment due to inflationary commodity costs could also be weighing on the stock.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses in F5 to Contact Him Directly to Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in F5 between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against F5, Inc. ("F5" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FFIV) and reminds investors of the February 17, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that the true state of F5's security capabilities; notably, that it was not truly equipped to safely secure data for its clients as F5 itself was, for all relevant times, experiencing a significant security breach (the "Security Breach") of some of its key offerings and, further, that the revelation of this breach would significantly impact F5's potential to capitalize on the security market.

On October 27, 2025, F5 announced their fourth quarter fiscal year 2025 results after the market closed, providing significantly below-market growth expectations for fiscal 2026 due in significant part to the Security Breach as the Company announced expected reductions to sales and renewals, elongated sales cycles, terminated projections, and increased expenses attributed to ongoing remediation efforts. Pertinently, defendants also disclosed that BIG-IP, the product that was the subject of the Security Breach, is the company's highest revenue product, elevating the scope of the impact from the original disclosure as F5 does not otherwise provide revenue contributions by product line.

Following this news, the price of F5's common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $290.41 per share on October 27, 2025, F5's stock price fell to $258.76 per share on October 29, 2025, a decline of an additional 10.9% in the span of two days.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding F5's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the F5 class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/FFIV or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that its Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division has successfully completed builder’s sea trials of John F. Kennedy (CVN 79), the second Gerald R. Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Kennedy returned to NNS after testing important ship systems and components at sea for the first time.

“Taking Kennedy to sea is a testament to the grit and determination of the world’s finest shipbuilders,” said Derek Murphy, NNS vice president of new construction aircraft carrier programs. “Our nation is depending on us to deliver these critical assets that will protect freedom around the world and we’re proud to see CVN 79 take another step toward joining the fleet.”

The sea trials brought together NNS shipbuilders, John F. Kennedy sailors and Navy personnel to execute the testing and demonstrate ship operations.

CVN 79 continues the legacy of highly capable nuclear-powered aircraft carrier platforms. Ford-class enhancements incorporated into the design support increased operational efficiency and reduced manning requirements. The Ford class also features a new nuclear power plant, and increased electrical power-generation capacity.

Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a great growth stock is not easy at all.

By their very nature, these stocks carry above-average risk and volatility. Moreover, if a company's growth story is over or nearing its end, betting on it could lead to significant loss.

However, it's pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.

Aramark (ARMK - Free Report) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank.

Research shows that stocks carrying the best growth features consistently beat the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.

While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this provider of food, facilities and uniform services is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:

Earnings GrowthEarnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Aramark is 39.1%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 16.8% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 9.6%.

Impressive Asset Utilization RatioGrowth investors often overlook asset utilization ratio, also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio, but it is an important feature of a real growth stock. This metric exhibits how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales.

Right now, Aramark has an S/TA ratio of 1.4, which means that the company gets $1.4 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.96, it can be said that the company is more efficient.

While the level of efficiency in generating sales matters a lot, so does the sales growth of a company. And Aramark looks attractive from a sales growth perspective as well. The company's sales are expected to grow 6.3% this year versus the industry average of 4.6%.

Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsSuperiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

The current-year earnings estimates for Aramark have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 0.1% over the past month.

Bottom LineAramark has not only earned a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #2 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.

You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

This combination positions Aramark well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.

Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task.

By their very nature, these stocks carry above-average risk and volatility. Moreover, if a company's growth story is over or nearing its end, betting on it could lead to significant loss.

However, the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects, makes it pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks.

Subsea 7 SA (SUBCY - Free Report) is one such stock that our proprietary system currently recommends. The company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.

Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.

While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this company is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:

Earnings GrowthEarnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Subsea 7 is 92%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 38% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 14.5%.

Cash Flow GrowthWhile cash is the lifeblood of any business, higher-than-average cash flow growth is more important and beneficial for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, growth in cash flow enables these companies to expand their businesses without depending on expensive outside funds.

Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for Subsea 7 is 50%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of -1.9%.

While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 7% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 6.5%.

Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsBeyond the metrics outlined above, investors should consider the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is a plus here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

The current-year earnings estimates for Subsea 7 have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 0.3% over the past month.

Bottom LineWhile the overall earnings estimate revisions have made Subsea 7 a Zacks Rank #2 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above.

You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

This combination indicates that Subsea 7 is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses in Fermi to Contact Him Directly to Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or otherwise acquired securities in Fermi (a) common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with the Company's October 2025 initial public offering ("IPO" or the "Offering"); and/or (b) securities between October 1, 2025 and December 11, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period") and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Fermi Inc. ("Fermi" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FRMI) and reminds investors of the March 6, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the Company overstated its tenant demand for its Project Matador campus; (2) the extent to which Project Matador would rely on a single tenant's funding commitment to finance the construction of Project Matador; (3) there was a significant risk that that tenant would terminate its funding commitment; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On October 1, 2025, Fermi completed its initial public offering of approximately 32.5 million shares of common stock at $21.00 per share. The Company's registration statement emphasized its plans to develop a large electric generation campus for AI data centers and identified an investment-grade "First Tenant" for its Project Matador site. The registration statement stated that, on September 19, 2025, Fermi had entered into a letter of intent with the First Tenant to lease a portion of the site on a triple-net basis for an initial twenty-year term, with four five-year renewal options.

In November 2025, the Company further announced that the First Tenant had entered into an Advance in Aid of Construction Agreement agreeing, subject to conditions, to advance up to $150 million toward construction costs.

On December 12, 2025, Fermi disclosed that the First Tenant had terminated the AICA the prior day, eliminating a key funding arrangement for the Project. Although Fermi stated that lease negotiations continued under the letter of intent, the market reacted negatively, and Fermi's stock price fell more than 33%, closing at $10.09 per share, well below the IPO price.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Fermi's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to a low of $75,067 on February 2, but is now correcting higher.

BTC price long-term prediction: bearish The upward correction has stalled at $80,000. Bitcoin is currently trading in a narrow range, just above the $75,000 support and below the $80,000 resistance. Previously, Bitcoin fell to a low of $84,000, after which it traded sideways for two months.

On January 29, the bears broke below the existing support, reaching a low of $75,067. Over the past four days, the BTC price has fluctuated above $75,000, awaiting confirmation of the trend. However, if the current support level of $75,000 is breached, Bitcoin could fall to $68,000. Today, Bitcoin is at $77,251.

Technical indicators Key supply zones: $120,000, $125,000, $130,000

Key demand zones: $90,000, $85,000, $80,000

The BTC price trend of late 2025 has collided with a harsh macroeconomic reality following the appointment of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair. Bitcoin, which started the year with hopes of institutional stability, has officially entered what analysts call a "technical bear market," plummeting 40% from its October peak of $126,000 to trade currently in the $77,000–$79,000 range.

BTC price indicators analysis Since November 21, 2025, the price bars have remained below the horizontally sloping moving average lines; the 21-day SMA has fallen below the 50-day SMA, signalling a downward trend. Both the 21-day and 50-day SMAs are trending downward on the 4-hour chart.

What is the next move for Bitcoin? The price of Bitcoin is moving above the $75,000 support on the 4-hour chart but remains below the 21-day SMA barrier. The 21-day SMA, also acting as resistance at $80,000, has slowed price movement. If Bitcoin fails to overcome the 21-day SMA barrier, it will fall below the $75,000 support level. Conversely, Bitcoin will resume its bullish trend if it breaks above the 21-day SMA threshold.

Solana price has dropped for four consecutive weeks and is now trading at a crucial support level despite the soaring network metrics during the ongoing crypto winter.

Summary

Solana price dropped below the neckline of the head-and-shoulders chart pattern. Spot SOL ETFs have added over $6.8 million in inflows this month. Solana’s transactions and active addresses have soared in the past few weeks. The Solana (SOL) token dropped to $93, down nearly 70% from its January 2025 high. It has dropped to the lowest level since February 2024.

The ongoing crash occurred even as third-party data showed that spot Solana ETF inflows continued rising and its network growth accelerated. Data compiled by SoSoValue shows that spot Solana ETFs added $1.24 million on Tuesday after adding $5.58 million on Monday. 

These funds have now added $6.8 million in assets this month, bringing the cumulative inflows to over $877 million. Solana ETFs now hold over $854 million in assets, which is equivalent to 1.5% of its market capitalization.

Nansen data shows that Solana has become one of the fastest-growing networks in the cryptocurrency industry. Its transactions rose by 43% over the last 30 days to over 2.48 billion, surpassing the combined transactions of other networks.

Solana’s network had over 105 million addresses in this period, up by 81%. Its active addresses are much more than those of other chains combined. For example, Ethereum had over 15 million active addresses, while BNB Chain had 41.2 million.

Solana’s network fees jumped by 94% to over $26 million, much higher than Ethereum’s $15 million. It is closing the gap with Tron, which made $29 million in the same period.

One main reason for the network’s growth is its stablecoin transactions. It had over $491 billion in stablecoin volume over the last 30 days, with most of it in USDC. Its stablecoin transactions rose to over 305 million, with addresses reaching 5.2 million.

Solana price has formed a risky chart pattern SOL price chart | Source: crypto.news  The weekly chart shows that Solana token has crashed in the past few months, moving from a record high of $295 in January last year to the current $94.

Solana has formed a head-and-shoulders pattern and is now trading at the neckline. A break below this neckline will signal further downside, potentially to the key support level at $70, which is near the 78.6% Fibonacci Retracement. 

A move above the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level at $115 will invalidate the bearish outlook.

TL;DR

Sui added gRPC streaming as the primary data source in its indexing infrastructure, enabling real-time ingestion of finalized checkpoints. The system allows full nodes to push checkpoints to indexers at the moment of finalization, replacing the periodic polling-based model. Sui’s architecture combines gRPC streaming as the primary path with polling sources as a fallback, ensuring historical backfill and clean restarts. Sui added gRPC streaming as the primary data source within its indexing infrastructure, enabling real-time checkpoint ingestion with minimal latency. The update is already live in production and is part of the network’s official data stack, used by both custom indexers and the General-Purpose Indexer.

This new system allows full nodes to send checkpoints to indexers at the exact moment they are finalized. This mechanism replaces the traditional model based exclusively on polling, where systems had to periodically query whether new data was available. With gRPC streaming, data delivery becomes push-based and continuous.

It is worth clarifying that the architecture adopted by Sui does not eliminate polling. The design combines streaming as the primary path with mandatory polling sources as a fallback. Streaming only delivers data from the moment a connection is established, so polling is used for historical backfill and for recovery after interruptions, restarts, or temporary network failures.

Sui Will Operate With a Hybrid Indexing Framework This hybrid approach is integrated into the Custom Indexing Framework. The framework separates the ingestion layer from the checkpoint processing logic. Indexers consume checkpoints through a unified interface, without coupling to a specific data source. As a result, the same pipeline can operate with gRPC streaming, HTTP polling, or both sources simultaneously.

Adopting gRPC streaming does not require changes to existing indexer logic. It can be enabled through a configuration update that adds a streaming-url parameter alongside the remote-store-url already used for polling. The framework automatically manages switching between sources, preserving continuity in indexed data.

A Synchronized, Fault-Tolerant System Sui’s General-Purpose Indexer uses gRPC streaming as its primary channel to stay synchronized with the chain head. At the same time, it retains polling sources to ensure clean restarts and full recovery in the event of failures. This model allows a single modular indexer to operate without sacrificing consistency or availability.

Sui’s infrastructure targets latency-sensitive workloads such as real-time monitoring, analytics, alerts, and systems that depend on finalized data without delays. Batch flows, offline processes, and less demanding applications can continue operating with polling-only configurations.

Sui stated that the streaming-first model is part of a broader transition toward structured, composable, event-driven data interfaces. The goal is to reduce indexer operational complexity and standardize access to onchain data across the network.

Alors que le marché crypto tente de retrouver un second souffle, certaines projections commencent à faire beaucoup de bruit. Dernière en date : une prédiction avancée par Gemini AI concernant XRP à l’horizon 2026. Une estimation ambitieuse, presque provocante, qui relance le débat autour du potentiel réel du jeton de Ripple.

XRP : au bord d’une explosion inédite ? XRP est loin d’être un nouvel arrivant. Lancé pour faciliter les paiements transfrontaliers rapides et peu coûteux, le token est au cœur de l’écosystème Ripple, une entreprise qui vise clairement les institutions financières plutôt que le grand public. Cette orientation a longtemps été un frein en termes de narration crypto, mais elle pourrait aussi devenir un atout dans un contexte de régulation accrue.

Sur le plan fondamental, XRP sort progressivement d’une période extrêmement tendue. Le feuilleton judiciaire avec la SEC a pesé lourd sur le prix et la perception du projet. Pourtant, ces derniers mois, le climat s’est nettement apaisé. Ripple continue de signer des partenariats bancaires, notamment en Asie et au Moyen-Orient, là où l’adoption institutionnelle avance plus vite qu’en Europe ou aux États-Unis. Ce n’est pas spectaculaire, mais c’est solide.

Techniquement, la situation est plus intéressante qu’il n’y paraît. XRP évolue depuis longtemps dans une large zone de compression, avec une volatilité historiquement basse pour un actif de cette taille. Ce genre de configuration précède souvent des mouvements violents, sans que l’on sache dans quel sens. Les volumes restent modestes, mais stables. Certains analystes y voient un manque d’intérêt, d’autres une phase d’accumulation discrète. La vérité est probablement entre les deux.

XRP n’est donc pas un pari évident. Mais c’est précisément ce flou qui nourrit aujourd’hui les scénarios les plus extrêmes.

Gemini fait une prédiction impressionnante pour XRP en 2026

C’est dans ce contexte que Gemini AI avance une projection qui a surpris une partie de la communauté. Selon les simulations du modèle, basées sur des cycles de marché, l’évolution de la régulation et l’adoption institutionnelle, XRP pourrait atteindre une zone de prix comprise entre 8 et 12 dollars d’ici 2026, dans un scénario haussier crédible mais non garanti.

Si XRP parvient à consolider sa position comme infrastructure de paiement transfrontalier de référence, tout en bénéficiant d’un marché crypto globalement haussier, une valorisation à deux chiffres devient mathématiquement envisageable à l’horizon 2026. Ce scénario repose toutefois sur une adoption institutionnelle continue et un cadre réglementaire stabilisé.

Cette projection ne doit pas être lue comme une certitude. Gemini AI évoque d’ailleurs plusieurs scénarios alternatifs, dont un plus conservateur où XRP resterait coincé sous les 3 dollars pendant encore plusieurs années. Tout dépendra de facteurs externes difficiles à anticiper : décisions politiques, concurrence d’autres blockchains de paiement, et surtout dynamique globale du marché crypto.

Ce qui rend cette prédiction intéressante, ce n’est pas tant le chiffre avancé que le raisonnement derrière. XRP n’est plus perçu uniquement comme un token spéculatif, mais comme une brique potentielle de l’infrastructure financière mondiale. Cela ne garantit rien, mais cela change la grille de lecture.

En clair, XRP reste un actif clivant. Capable de décevoir pendant longtemps… puis de surprendre brutalement. La prédiction de Gemini AI est peut-être optimiste. Elle n’est pas absurde pour autant. Et c’est précisément ce qui la rend dérangeante.

The chief equity strategist of Zacks Investment Research says the worst is yet to come as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) falls below $74,000.

In a new interview on CNBC, John Blank says the price of the flagship crypto asset may still plummet to around half of its current value.

“Generally speaking, a Bitcoin winner is 12 to 18 months long and these are well understood technical features so at $76,000 from $125,000, which was the peak, we can get to $40,000.”

He also shares his forecast when Bitcoin could plunge to $40,000.

“When does the force selling and liquidations happen to take us to $40,000? We can get there very quickly or more likely we’re going to get there over the next 6 to 8 months.”

Blank says that people are getting tired of the crypto trade even with attempts to create demand through crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and stablecoins. He says the trading platform Robinhood is doing better than the crypto exchange Coinbase. 

“The other problem here is how long is that game played? You know, that play gets played for years and there’s also a generational issue. People [are] tired of this whole trade. Tired of it because COVID’s over, tired of it because there’s other screen-based things to do.”

An early Shiba Inu watcher who rode the token’s explosive 2021 run is urging holders to stop relying on upbeat messages from project insiders and start treating SHIB like any other risky altcoin position.

In a recent video, market connoisseur Zack Humphries tackles a simple but uncomfortable question — “Will SHIB make a comeback?” — and answers it with a mix of cautious hope and hard lessons from the last four years.

‘Shiba Inu Will Come Back’ — But That’s Not Enough..The catalyst for the video was a recent post on X by Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) marketing lead, Lucie, who painted a “very positive” picture of the meme coin’s future and its “strong” community. The analyst doesn’t dismiss that outlook outright, but takes issue with the one-sided optimism that omits risks and structural problems.

“I love the positivity and the optimism,” the host says, while stressing he’s not speaking from a place of needing SHIB to recover. He notes that Shiba Inu is still a major asset by crypto standards — roughly a $4 billion market cap and sitting around rank 25 globally at the time of recording — and says he does believe SHIB will “make some type of comeback” eventually.

But he pushes back on investors who treat bullish posts from team members as a green light to keep averaging in: “What I don’t like is that people look at this and say, ‘I’ll just keep investing everything into this Shiba Inu and hopefully it’ll all be good because somebody told me so.’”

Altcoin Reality Check: Dependence On Ether & Lost TimeThe tougher part of the message centers on market structure. According to the analyst, altcoins have been in a “really, really brutal” environment since 2021, and SHIB in particular has struggled when Ethereum is not leading the market. “When SHIB doesn’t have Ethereum setting the pace, it’s very difficult for SHIB to do well,” he notes, adding that ETH itself has lagged Bitcoin for a prolonged period.

He expects that trend to eventually reverse and sees a future phase where Ethereum and altcoins move higher again. However, he argues that waiting passively in a concentrated SHIB position until that happens can be costly.

If a single asset “doesn’t go well for four years,” Humphries says, investors should think in terms of “opportunities lost” elsewhere in crypto, stocks, or even real estate.

Drawing on his own bear market experience, the host criticizes the idea of loading “80% of your funds into altcoins” and warns against portfolios locked into one narrative. He encourages rotating capital only when there are “clear signs that altcoins are moving up” rather than pre-emptively betting on a comeback because community figures are optimistic.

The final takeaway is blunt: posts on X, even from official project figures, should be taken “with a grain of salt.” Investors, he says, need to act for their own goals, not for “a dev member” or “a community member,” and be willing to diversify while there is still time — regardless of how strongly they believe SHIB will eventually recover.

People Also Ask:Is the analyst leaving the Shiba Inu community?

No. He explicitly says this is not a “I’m leaving SHIB” video, but he has broadened his focus beyond Shiba Inu content.

Does he think SHIB will go back to its all-time high?

He does not make any price predictions; he only says he expects “some type of comeback” without defining scale or timing.

What does he see as SHIB’s main constraint?

Its performance has been heavily tied to Ethereum’s strength; when ETH underperforms Bitcoin, SHIB has struggled.

What is his main advice for SHIB holders?

Diversify, wait for clearer altcoin strength before going heavy into speculative tokens, and don’t rely solely on optimistic messaging from project insiders.

Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) is now $630 million underwater on its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings, wiping out $47 billion in unrealized profits from just four months ago as Bitcoin plunged below the company's $76,037 average cost basis. The Profit Wipeout Bitcoin fell 15% in the first four days of February, pushing Strategy's position underwater for the first time since the company began accumulating in August 2020.

Michael Saylor frames Bitcoin volatility as a long-term advantage. Market stress highlights Bitcoin’s separation from traditional assets. Institutional conviction strengthens despite short-term price swings. Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has once again stepped into the spotlight to defend Bitcoin’s price volatility. In a recent market turmoil, Saylor said that volatility is “Satoshi’s gift,” which distinguishes long-term investors from short-term speculators.

Saylor’s statements come at a time when the overall crypto market is facing macro-level challenges and uncertainty. According to Saylor, volatility acts as a natural filter that rewards patience and conviction over leverage and fear.

Recent discussions around Bitcoin market outlook and crypto investor sentiment show that fear-driven sell-offs often precede strong accumulation phases. Saylor believes this cycle continues to validate Bitcoin’s long-term thesis.

Market Stress Tests Investor Conviction Bitcoin’s price movements has remained volatile as the world grapples with inflation risks, geopolitical issues, and monetary policy shifts. While most assets tend to behave defensively, Saylor says that Bitcoin’s volatility is a sign that it is an evolving monetary network and not a mature store of value.

Saylor said that Bitcoin is still in a price discovery market. Volatility helps to separate strong hands from weak hands. This helps to build the network over time.

Saylor also rejected the notion that volatility is a bad thing. He said that assets that have no volatility tend to have little to no long-term gains.

Why Institutions Still Lean In Institutional interest in Bitcoin, despite the turbulence, remains unaffected. This is because the corporate treasury, asset managers, and long-term funds view drawdowns as an accumulation opportunity.

Analysis by CoinDesk Markets and Bloomberg Crypto indicates that institutional investment tends to rise during times of extreme fear. Saylor’s stance is consistent with this observation, as he states that volatility prevents speculative behavior while attracting disciplined capital.

The strategy employed by MicroStrategy is consistent with Saylor’s stance. This is because the firm has continued to accumulate more Bitcoins during times of downturn, thus solidifying Saylor’s stance that time in the market is more important than timing the market.

Bitcoin vs Traditional Assets Saylor also contrasted Bitcoin’s behavior with traditional financial instruments. Equities and bonds often rely on policy support and leverage. Bitcoin, as designed, is an independent system that does not require central control.

This independence leads to more volatile price actions, but it also promotes discipline. As Saylor states, volatility is a mechanism that ensures Bitcoin remains a decentralized system that is not susceptible to manipulation.

He further stated that Bitcoin is a “thermodynamic system” that turns energy, capital, and belief into a secure monetary network. Volatility in this system is a stress test, not a bug.

Long-Term Signal, Short-Term Noise Though short-term traders may find it difficult to cope with sudden movements, Saylor encouraged investors to look at the bigger picture. Historical data of Bitcoin’s performance shows cyclical patterns of drawdowns followed by higher structural floors.

As Saylor says, “Volatility is an opportunity, not a threat. Investors who understand the design of Bitcoin can take advantage of market stress as a strategic advantage.”

With macro uncertainty still in the air, Saylor’s message has been consistent: Bitcoin pays off for believers, and volatility is the price of admission.

Franklin Templeton Backs Wallet-Native Future at Ondo Summit

XRP price remains in a bear market this week despite some important network news and progress on its permissioned decentralized exchange vote.

Summary

XRP price has crashed by 57% from its highest level in 2025. The vote for the Permissioned DEX is moving on smoothly and is likely to pass. Technical analysis suggests that it is hovering at a crucial support level. The Ripple (XRP) token dropped to a key support level at $1.5463, down 56% from its 2025 high. This retreat has coincided with the broad crypto market crash that has hit Bitcoin and most altcoins.

XRP price has dropped despite some major ecosystem news. For example, the developers announced that Ripple Labs had received an EU-wide electronic money license. This license will make it easy for the company to ink deals with financial services companies in the bloc.

Ripple Labs has received more licenses in the past few months, including a U.S. banking charter and licenses in the UK and Singapore.

Meanwhile, the network activated the XLS-80 vote, which focused on permissioned domains. Most importantly, the Permissioned DEX vote is nearing its threshold.

The two amendments are important because they will enable institutions and other developers to build high-quality, regulatory-compliant decentralized exchanges. These DEX networks are different from other networks because they will include features such as Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering policies.

✅ XLS-80 Permissioned Domains is now activated on XRPL!

We’re only one yes vote away from the Permissioned DEX amendment to begin the 2 week countdown!

When both these amendments are activated, institutions (and others) will be able to start utilizing the permissioned DEX! 👏 pic.twitter.com/jWEXjcJcdc

— Anders 🏁🌏 (@X__Anderson) February 4, 2026 The team believes that permissioned DEX will have more use cases in corporations. Some of these use cases are in stablecoin and fiat currency swaps, contractor and payroll payouts, cross-border business-to-business payments, and corporate treasuries.

The XRP Ledger network is also doing well in the tokenization industry. Data show that the value of the represented asset in the real-world asset tokenization industry rose by 265% over the last 30 days to over $1.45 billion.

XRP price prediction: Technical analysis  XRP price chart | Source: crypto.news The weekly chart shows that the XRP price has crashed over the past few months and is now hovering at a crucial support level that coincides with the Major S&R Pivot Point of the Murrey Math Lines tool. It has failed to move below this price several times since April last year.

The token has moved below the 50-week Exponential Moving Average and the Supertrend indicator. At the same time, the Relative Strength Index has continued falling and is now hovering near the oversold level.

Therefore, a move below this support will signal further downside, potentially to the key level at $1, about 35% below the current level. The alternative scenario is where it rebounds, potentially to the strong, pivot and reverse level of the Murrey Math Lines tool at $2.34.

What to Know:

Vitalik Buterin’s push for stage 2 rollups has created a rift between Ethereum purists and L2 developers who prioritize execution speed over rigid decentralization milestones. Capital is increasingly rotating away from philosophical scaling debates and toward ecosystems that offer high-performance, “snap-execution” environments for DeFi. The industry is moving beyond viewing Bitcoin solely as digital gold, instead exploring its potential as a secure settlement layer for complex, programmable smart contracts. Leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Bitcoin Hyper has raised over $31M by bringing high-speed modular execution to the Bitcoin network. The debate over blockchain scalability has shifted from simple throughput to a fundamental questioning of the Layer 2 purpose. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently sparked an industry-wide ‘rollup rethink,‘ arguing that the original vision of L2s as the primary scaling engine ‘no longer makes sense’ if they fail to fully inherit Ethereum’s security.

This shift toward demanding ‘Stage 2’ maturity, removing the ‘training wheels’ of centralized security councils, has drawn pushback from major builders. While figures like Arbitrum’s Steven Goldfeder maintain that L2s remain essential for massive scale, others, like Base’s Jesse Pollak, acknowledge that L2s must now differentiate through specialization rather than just being Ethereum but cheaper.’

This tension has left a market gap for solutions that prioritize raw, specialized performance without waiting for the slow crawl of base-layer decentralization milestones.

That friction matters because it exposes a massive gap in current market infrastructure. While Ethereum developers debate the philosophical nuances of decentralized sequencers and specialized roles, capital is quietly rotating toward ecosystems that prioritize raw throughput without sacrificing settlement security.

The market creates a vacuum for solutions that can offer the best of both worlds, the liquidity of a major L1, combined with the snap-execution of a high-performance L2.

Enter the Bitcoin Layer 2 thesis. Investors are looking past the Ethereum deadlock to see if Bitcoin, historically viewed as digital gold rather than a compute layer, can handle the load.

Emerging protocols are attempting to graft high-speed execution environments directly onto Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work foundation. Leading this charge is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a project leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to solve the latency issues that have plagued Bitcoin scaling for years.

SVM Integration and Modular Network Design Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) distinguishes itself through a L2 modular blockchain architecture that decouples transaction execution from final settlement. By integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), the protocol enables parallel transaction processing, a significant departure from Bitcoin’s sequential model, allowing for theoretical throughput exceeding 12,000 TPS and sub-second finality.

The system’s core functionality relies on two primary technical pillars:

The Canonical Bridge: A decentralized gateway where users lock native $BTC on the Bitcoin base layer to mint wrapped tokens ($wBTC) on the Layer 2. This process utilizes Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs to verify state transitions, ensuring that assets remain secure without requiring a centralized intermediary. Dual-Layer Security: While execution occurs on the high-speed SVM layer, the protocol periodically batches and anchors L2 state data back to the Bitcoin Mainnet. This ensures the network benefits from Solana’s agility while inheriting Bitcoin’s immutable security for final settlement. Furthermore, Bitcoin Hyper transitions the Bitcoin user experience into a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) environment. Unlike the energy-intensive mining required on the base layer, $HYPER tokens facilitate a low-energy consensus mechanism on the L2.

This allows for native staking, where participants secure the network and manage governance through a decentralized DAO, effectively transforming Bitcoin from a passive asset into a functional, yield-generating compute layer.

Incentivized Staking and Governance Infrastructure Beyond its execution layer, Bitcoin Hyper is built on a utility-driven tokenomics model where the $HYPER token serves as the network’s lifeblood for gas fees, staking, and governance.

To ensure a stable rollout, the project employs a dynamic APY system for presale participants, which currently allows investors to stake their tokens immediately to earn rewards before the mainnet launch. This is designed to bootstrap liquidity and decentralize the initial set of token holders who will eventually participate in the network’s DAO.

To manage the transition from presale to the open market, the protocol utilizes a 7-day vesting period for staked rewards. This mechanism acts as a technical buffer against volatility, ensuring that as the Solana-compatible smart contracts go live, the network maintains enough staked collateral to remain secure.

The structure, combined with a non-custodial bridging approach, aims to provide a high-performance DeFi environment that remains ‘opt-in’ for Bitcoin holders.  This will allow them to move assets between the ‘digital gold’ of the L1 and the high-velocity compute engine of the L2 at will.

$HYPER’s already caught significant attention, having raised over $31M, and offering 37% staking rewards. The market’s clearly after a solution to the old blockchain trilemma, and Bitcoin Hyper might have the answer.
