Market Signal Briefing

A whale wallet, 0xFB7, has bought $33.88 million worth of 14,750 ETH from FalconX. ETH crypto price has dropped by 10.01% in a single day. An economist has speculated on more sales in the next few days. A whale wallet has just added over 14k ETH to their holdings. This is the second transaction in less than 6 hours. The move comes at a time when every crypto price is seen declining, with the trajectory led by BTC. It is speculated that crypto selling may continue or increase in the next few days.

Whale Wallet Accumulating ETH According to a post by Onchain Lens, a whale wallet, 0xFB7, has accumulated 14,750 ETH from FalconX. Their value was approximately $33.88 million at the time of the transaction. The total ETH holdings of 0xFB7 are now 150,572, worth around $336.89 million. The same whale wallet had earlier bought 15,642 ETH tokens from Wintermute for $36.24 million.

The same whale wallet has simultaneously bought 740 cbBTC from Coinbase for $56.91 million. This is in addition to 10 cbBTC bought earlier from the same platform for $777,58k. The total cbBTC holdings now count for 750 cbBTC at $57.12 million.

ETH Crypto Price Slips Lower ETH accumulation by whale wallet 0xFB7 comes when the crypto price has lost its momentum and is trading at around $2,192.30. This is after a 24-hour decline of 10.01% and a weekly plunge of 23.51%, when the article is being written.

Notably, the price decline follows the filing of an Ethereum ETF application with the SEC by Morgan Stanley. ETH is now 55.75% down from its ATH of $4,953.73, which was recorded on August 25, 2025.

Nevertheless, Ether is expected to surge by 12.15% in the next 1 month and list at approximately $2,570.63. A bullish ETH price prediction is that the token could end 2026 between $3,484.34 and $4,278.

Crypto Liquidity Concerns A report by Reuters has quoted Brian Jacobsen, Chief Economist at Annex Wealth Management, highlighting his take on what may happen next. Brian said that a drop on Friday has reminded people of risks, adding that it’s possible that more sales will happen in the next few days.

A drop across the crypto market is also being associated with a statement by former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh. He has been selected to be the next Fed Chair – he has called for a regime change while also underlining the need for a smaller Fed balance sheet.

Strategy Faces $1 Billion Loss on Bitcoin Holdings

Amid the sharp Bitcoin price correction, Michael Saylor’s Strategy is sitting on over $1 billion in unrealized losses across its 712,647 BTC holdings.

This has raised concerns among MSTR investors about potential volatility and liquidation risks ahead.

As of now, Strategy’s average Bitcoin purchase price stands at $76,037. Earlier today, BTC briefly dropped to $74,500, resulting in more than $1 billion in unrealized losses.

However, at press time, Bitcoin is trading around $76,711, placing the company’s holdings back in positive territory.

Some analysts have speculated that Michael Saylor could sell part of his holdings if losses deepen.

Saylor has dismissed these concerns, remaining confident in his Bitcoin strategy and signaling potential further accumulation in a Feb. 1 post on X.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Face Heavy Outflows Amid BTC Price Drop

Amid the recent price drop, Bitcoin is once again trading below the average cost basis of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

In the final weeks of January, these ETFs recorded their second- and third-largest weekly outflows, according to analyst Alex Thorn.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs now manage roughly $113 billion in assets, holding an estimated 1.28 million BTC.

Based on these holdings, the implied average cost basis across the ETFs is approximately $87,830 per Bitcoin.

Flow data points to continued selling pressure. The 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined $2.8 billion in net outflows over the past two weeks, including $1.49 billion last week and $1.32 billion the week before.

Assets under management (AUM) for spot Bitcoin ETFs have fallen sharply, dropping 31.5% from their October peak of $165 billion. Over the same period, the spot BTC price declined by roughly 40%.

Bitcoin slipped below the closely watched $80,000 level over the weekend after markets digested confirmation that Kevin Warsh will become the next chair of the Federal Reserve, triggering a wave of deleveraging across crypto markets, according to analysts at QCP Asia.

Key Takeaways:

Bitcoin broke below $80,000 after Warsh’s Fed appointment triggered broad deleveraging and $2.5 billion in liquidations. Risk-off sentiment spread beyond crypto, pressuring equities and precious metals as markets priced a tighter Fed path. Bitcoin has stabilized near $74,500, but analysts warn further downside is possible if key support fails. In a Monday market note, QCP said bitcoin briefly fell to around $74,500 after breaking key technical support, while ether dropped below $2,170.

The sell-off sparked more than $2.5 billion in liquidations of leveraged long positions, intensifying downside pressure at a time when sentiment was already fragile due to persistent outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Warsh Fed Pick Spurs Risk-Off Move Across MarketsRisk aversion following the Warsh announcement rippled beyond crypto. Equities weakened and traditional havens such as gold and silver extended pullbacks from recent highs, as traders reassessed the likely policy path under a Warsh-led Fed.

Markets have begun pricing a higher probability of earlier policy normalization or tighter conditions, which has weighed on non-yielding assets.

Higher margin requirements in futures markets also accelerated the unwinding of leveraged positions, according to QCP.

Bitcoin has since stabilized above the $74,500 level, an area that aligns with cycle lows seen in 2025. Options markets continue to reflect caution, with positioning still skewed toward put protection, though demand for downside hedges has moderated compared with previous stress episodes.

QCP noted that during the November slide from $107,000 to roughly $80,500, hedging activity was far more aggressive than what is currently seen near the mid-$70,000 range, suggesting some exposure has already been flushed out.

QCP: BTC fell below $80,000 after Kevin Warsh was confirmed as the next Fed Chair, triggering broad deleveraging. BTC briefly hit $74,500, ETH dropped below $2,170, and over $2.5 billion in leveraged longs were liquidated, with $74,000 and $80,000 as key levels to watch.…

— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) February 2, 2026 Still, analysts warned that price action remains vulnerable. Momentum indicators continue to point lower and upside appears capped near recent resistance, leaving the market exposed to further liquidation-driven moves if support gives way.

A sustained break below $74,000 could open the door to a deeper retracement toward levels last seen in 2024, while a decisive reclaim of $80,000 may help ease volatility and stabilize sentiment.

“In the current environment, attention is likely to focus on whether institutional accumulation re-emerges, particularly given Strategy’s average cost basis near 76k, alongside any de-escalation in geopolitical risks, notably around Iran,” QCP said.

“Fed communication will also be closely watched, with any remarks from Chair-designate Warsh that temper expectations of tightening potentially serving as an additional stabilizing influence,” the analyst added.

Bitcoin’s $77K Drop Sparks Debate Over Cycle LowBitcoin’s weekend drop to around $77,000 may mark a cycle floor, according to analyst PlanC, who said the move has the characteristics of a capitulation-style low rather than the start of a prolonged downturn.

Bitcoin briefly touched that level before stabilizing and rebounding toward $78,600, though it remains more than 11% lower on the month and roughly 38% below its October peak near $126,100.

PlanC compared the recent sell-off to past drawdowns that preceded major recoveries, including the 2018 bear market low, the March 2020 COVID crash and the sharp declines following the FTX and Terra-Luna collapses.

He estimated the current cycle bottom likely sits between $75,000 and $80,000, arguing the move could represent a final shakeout within an ongoing bull cycle.

Chainlink dropped and held ground below $10, touching a low of $8.9 for the first time since September 2024. 

At press time, LINK traded at $9.1, down 7.9% on daily charts and 21% on weekly charts, reflecting sharp bearish pressure. 

AMBCrypto observed that this price drop was largely driven by a massive sell-off, with sellers overwhelming the market.

Chainlink hits September 2024 lows amid massive sell-off After LINK dropped below $10, long-term holders and traders across the spot and futures market panicked and dumped extensively. 

In fact, the seller’s strength climbed to 75 while the buyer’s strength dropped to a low of 25, reflecting seller dominance. 

Source: TradingView

At the same time, Sell Volume surged to 26.2 million compared to 22.2 million in buy volume. As a result, the market exhibited a negative delta of 4 million, further validating seller dominance. 

Moreover, exchange activity further echoed this bearish positioning. On the Spot market, buyers have nearly disappeared in the market. 

On the 1st of February, over 2.8 million LINK flowed into exchanges, while 973.2k LINK entered exchanges on the next day. In total, 3.8 million Chainlink [LINK] have flowed into exchanges over this period. 

Source: CryptoQuant

On the other hand, only 2.3 million LINK have been left on exchanges, leaving the market with a negative delta. 

As a result, Chainlink’s Exchange Netflow jumped to 1.4 million over this period, a clear sign of aggressive spot dumping. 

Exposure hits a yearly low On the Futures side, investors have significantly reduced their exposure. According to CoinGlass data, Open Interest (OI) fell to a yearly low of $458 million.

Source: CoinGlass

At the same time, Derivatives Volume dropped 22% to $1.09 billion, reflecting massive capital outflows. 

In fact, the altcoin saw $318 million in Futures Outflow compared to $312 million in Futures Inflow according to CoinGlass data. For that reason, Futures Netflow declined to -$6.49 million, indicating substantial futures selling. 

Historically, combined selling pressure from both spot and futures market have accelerated downward pressure, prelude to a price drop.

Can LINK hold the $9 support level? Chainlink extended its bearish streak, as holders panicked and aggressively closed positions. In doing so, the altcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell further into oversold territory at 20.

The drop suggested strong seller dominance, which further accelerated the altcoin’s downward momentum. Often, these market conditions have preceded lower prices, as evidenced by the last three days.

Source: TradingView

Therefore, if seller dominance continues to increase, LINK may incur further losses. Continuation of the trend could push LINK below the $9 support level toward $8.3.

To invalidate this bearish move, LINK must reclaim and close above its Short term Moving average, EMA20, at $11.5. Such a move will position LINK for a significant bullish reversal.

Final Thoughts LINK fell to a September 2024 low of $8.99 before slightly rebounding to $9.1 at press time.  Chainlink experienced a substantial sell-off across both spot and futures markets, with Open Interest reaching an annual low. 

Gold and silver deepened their dramatic decline on Monday, extending last Friday’s historic rout that erased trillions in market value. What had been a powerful safe-haven rally quickly flipped into a violent correction, driven by a stronger U.S. dollar, aggressive profit-taking, and rising margin pressures. Analysts say the speed and scale of the move signal that speculative positioning had reached unsustainable levels.

Spot gold dropped around 5% to $4,616.79 per ounce, following nearly 10% losses on Friday when prices crashed below $5,000. Silver fared far worse. After plunging nearly 30% in a single session last week, its worst daily performance since March 1980, the metal extended its fall, briefly sliding more than 12% before stabilizing near $78.30 per ounce.

Trillions Wiped Out in DaysCrypto analyst, Bull Theory, described the move as a historic crash rather than a routine correction. According to the analyst, nearly $10 trillion in combined market value was erased from gold and silver in just three days. Gold alone was estimated to be down roughly 20% from its peak, wiping out about $7.4 trillion in value, around five times the entire market capitalization of Bitcoin.

Silver’s collapse was even more extreme. Analyst noted that the metal has fallen close to 40% from its highs, erasing roughly $2.7 trillion in market value, a figure comparable to the entire crypto market. The analyst warned that so-called safe-haven assets are now trading with volatility levels more commonly associated with crypto memecoins, highlighting how crowded and leveraged these trades had become.

What triggered the sell-off?A key driver of the sell-off has been renewed strength in the U.S. dollar. The dollar index has gained around 0.8% since Thursday, making dollar-denominated gold and silver more expensive for overseas buyers. At the same time, expectations for tighter monetary policy have increased the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold.

Markets were caught off guard after President Donald Trump nominated former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Fed chair when his term ends in May. Warsh is known for favoring tighter monetary policy, a shift that has boosted the dollar and dampened enthusiasm for rate-sensitive assets.

CME Margin Hikes Add PressureThe CME Group moved quickly in response to last week’s volatility, announcing higher margin requirements effective after Monday’s market close. Margins on COMEX gold futures were raised from 6% to 8%, while margins on COMEX 5,000-ounce silver futures jumped from 11% to 15%.

Experts Watch the Crypto LinkCrypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe focused on silver’s extended correction, noting that the metal was down more than 40% in just two days. He described the move as a “massive bloodbath” and pointed out that Bitcoin had already felt the impact over the weekend, though it had begun to stabilize as commodities took the brunt of the selling.

Van de Poppe emphasized a recurring market pattern: when commodities fall sharply, crypto often follows. However, he also noted that once commodities find a bottom, digital assets have historically outperformed.

Reacting, some were already concerned about Bitcoin’s lack of strength from last year onward, and said the worst was not yet over.

“76k is the last support before 50k area,” trader Roman wrote in his latest analysis on X.

Earlier, Cointelegraph reported on various downside BTC price targets extending below the $50,000 mark.

Crypto trader, analyst and entrepreneur Michaël van de Poppe told X followers to look for a bottom in precious metals before the crypto “bloodbath” ends.

Silver extends the correction, as it's down more than 40% in two days.

Massive bloodbath. $BTC has felt this over the weekend, but it has stagnated in the last few hours, when commodities have felt the most pain.

— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) February 2, 2026 For trader CrypNuevo, meanwhile, even a potential relief bounce was not immediately due.

Updating followers on his targets for the week ahead, he suggested that a BTC price reversal would begin only after a revisit of the area near old all-time highs from the 2021 bull market.

“Now, we're very close to this level and I'll pay attention to it,” he confirmed.

Elsewhere, attention focused on open “gaps” in the CME Group’s Bitcoin futures market, these lying at $84,000 and $95,000.

— James (@JamesEastonUK) February 2, 2026 “Large CME gap implies that this latest move was rather a 'fake out' to the downside,” Andre Dragosch, European head of research at crypto asset manager Bitwise, said.

Bitcoin RSI eyes 2022 bear market bottomLooking for reasons to expect a macro bottom and bullish turnaround for BTC price action, market participants eyed a classic leading indicator.

On weekly time frames, Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) is approaching a key level.

RSI is one of the most popular trading indicators, gauging how “overbought” or “oversold” an asset is at a given price point.

Weekly RSI now measures 32.2, around two points above “oversold” territory.

Commenting, trader Mags noted that those levels were last seen at the end of the 2022 bear market.

— Mags (@thescalpingpro) February 2, 2026 “At $76k, the BTC 1-day RSI is the most oversold it’s been since $26k,” the analytics account named after famous economist Frank Fetter continued about lower time frames alongside data from onchain analytics resource Checkonchain.

Looking at the stochastic RSI on the monthly chart last week, however, trader and analyst Titan of Crypto said that Bitcoin’s macro bottoming phase would take time.

“Historically, when the monthly stochastic RSI settles below 20, it tends to confirm the start of a bear market. Price usually needs time to build a proper bottom,” he explained. 

“In past cycles, meaningful reversals only occurred after the stochastic RSI moved back above 20, signaling that the bottoming process had already played out. This is why I remain cautious with claims that ‘the bottom is already in.’ We may be witnessing confirmation, not completion.” BTC/USD one-month chart with stochastic RSI data. Source: Titan of Crypto/XBitcoin “warning” over macro liquidity crunch US corporate earnings season is “in full swing” this week, with Amazon and Google both due to report.

The stakes are particularly high for the tech giants after last week saw downside for both Intel and Microsoft, despite both beating earnings expectations.

The broad asset sell-off currently taking hold presents an additional headache for crypto investors, with trading resource The Kobeissi Letter describing uncertainty as now “elevated.”

— The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) February 1, 2026 Considering Bitcoin’s dramatic comedown, analytics sources are becoming more vocal about crypto as a leading indicator for trouble ahead. 

“At a time when fund manager sentiment is pushing near bullish extremes, Bitcoin could be sending a warning on the outlook for financial market liquidity,” analytics resource Mosaic Asset Company wrote in the latest edition of its regular newsletter, The Market Mosaic. 

Mosaic said that BTC/USD is in the process of cementing a bearish head and shoulders reversal pattern.

“The continued breakdown in Bitcoin could be sending a warning on financial market liquidity later in the year,” it stressed.

Earlier, Cointelegraph reported on concerns that US inflation could rebound later in 2026. Last week, the December print of the Producer Price Index (PPI) came in above estimates.

“The index for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services moved up 0.4 percent in December, the eighth consecutive increase,” an official statement from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported. 

This week, meanwhile, will see unemployment numbers form the major macroeconomic data release, with multiple Federal Reserve officials taking to the stage for public speaking engagements.

Jeff Mei, chief operations officer at the BTSE exchange, told Cointelegraph on Monday that upheaval around the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, is contributing to crypto downside.

Gold rout unseen in 40 yearsBeyond crypto, record-breaking volatility in precious metals continues.

Gold dropped to $4,400 per ounce during Monday’s Asia trading session, marking its lowest levels in nearly a month.

Over just three daily candles, XAU/USD has erased more than 20% versus its $5,600 all-time high. Gold and silver combined wiped a giant $4 trillion in market cap.

Mosaic tied the announcement of Warsh as Fed chair directly to the market U-turn, with markets highly sensitive to “bad” news after their record run.

“Concerns over a hawkish Fed chair who is less accommodative to the capital markets sparked a reversal higher in the U.S. dollar off a key level and contributed to a massive decline in precious metals,” it summarized. 

“Following news of the Warsh nomination, gold prices fell nearly 10% while silver plunged by over 30%. Those were the worst single-day declines since the early 1980s.” XAU/USD % volatility data (screenshot). Source: Mosaic Asset Company
US stocks futures reinforced the gloomy outlook as the week began, while US dollar strength sought to cement a rebound from multiyear lows.

The US dollar index (DXY) dropped to 95.50 on Jan. 30, a level not seen since 2022.

“While a declining dollar has been a big driver behind gain in precious metals, the failed breakdown last week was likely a key catalyst in the sharp pullback in gold and silver,” Mosaic acknowledged.

Traditionally, a strong dollar implies weakness for risk-on assets such as crypto, with a more hawkish Fed position potentially ensuring a DXY recovery.

Commenting, analyst and author Joey Keasberry expressed surprise about the dollar now possibly delivering a “significant bottom.”

“That could mean an old-fashioned risk-off environment is about to turn heads,” he told X followers.

Coinbase Premium points to US demand “vacuum”Despite falling to its lowest levels in nearly a year, Bitcoin has yet to inspire investors to go long again.

In some of its latest research, onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant described a “structural vacuum” in US spot demand.

Looking at the Coinbase Premium — the difference in price between Coinbase’s BTC/USD and Binance’s BTC/USDT pairs — CryptoQuant said that the situation had deteriorated versus last year.

“In Feb - Apr 2025, Coinbase Premium was negative, but it came in bursts. Discounts showed up, got worked off, and didn’t stick. That’s more consistent with tactical selling than a market with no bid,” contributor TeddyVision wrote in a Quicktake blog post. 

“Now it’s different. The negative prints are deeper and they stick. Premium stays below zero for long stretches, with only brief, shallow relief. That’s not just selling - it’s U.S. spot demand staying on the sidelines.” Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index data (screenshot). Source: CryptoQuant
A negative Coinbase Premium implies that Asian demand is outpacing that from the US, making Wall Street trading hours a source of downside BTC price pressure.

The premium has been negative since mid-December, with two failed attempts to break out of the red in the interim. On Jan. 30, it reached -0.177, its lowest levels in over a year.

“Short dips can happen for many reasons. But when the discount persists even after price has already adjusted, it usually means buyers aren’t stepping in,” CryptoQuant added.

Chainlink price is losing momentum as traders turn more defensive across the altcoin market. After failing to hold above $11, LINK extended its pullback today over 6%, pushing price toward the $9 mark, a zone where buyers are now expected to show intent.

The move lower has unfolded without panic. Instead, it reflects a gradual withdrawal of demand, with rebounds failing to attract sustained follow-through. This kind of price behavior often signals a market that is reassessing value rather than reacting emotionally.

As LINK price approaches key technical territory, on-chain data offers insight into why confidence has thinned.

Spot Market Data Shows Steady Distribution Into Weak RalliesSpot on-chain metrics point to persistent but controlled selling pressure rather than panic-driven exits. Over the past several sessions, LINK has recorded net exchange inflows averaging 2500,000–4000,000 LINK per day, even as price attempted minor recoveries. These inflows have coincided closely with short-term bounces, indicating that holders are using strength to distribute rather than accumulate. Exchange balances remain elevated relative to early-month levels, while spot volume on green candles has consistently lagged volume on red sessions. 

This imbalance confirms that sell-side activity is absorbing demand faster than buyers are willing to step in. Crucially, there is no sign of aggressive accumulation clusters forming at current prices. Historically, LINK bottoms have aligned with sharp reductions in exchange inflows.

Leverage Exposure Resets as Risk Appetite Pulls BackDerivatives data reinforces the idea that LINK’s move lower is driven by positioning reset, not aggressive bearish conviction. Open interest has declined near 2%, dropping from approximately $470 million to near $450 million, signaling that traders are reducing exposure rather than piling into shorts. This contraction reflects long-side unwinding, not fresh downside speculation. 

However, funding rates across major perpetual markets have cooled from mildly positive territory to near neutral, removing a key bullish tailwind that supported LINK earlier in the cycle. The absence of strongly negative funding also suggests shorts are not pressing aggressively. While, liquidation data reveal a notable concentration of long liquidation liquidity between $9.00 and $9.50, with estimated exposure exceeding $60–$80 million. Above current price, short-side liquidity remains relatively thin, reinforcing downside gravity if spot demand fails to stabilize.

Chainlink Price Analysis: Is LINK Set to Retest $8?Chainlink price has continued to paint the lower highs and lower lows swings, trapped inside a descending channel. Amidst the recovery in early 2026, LINK has failed to crack the $14 hurdle and faced decisive rejection, resulting in drop below the $10 crucial support zone. The $10 level has now flipped into resistance. The current price action suggests that Chainlink price may grab liquidity toward the $8 demand zone in the coming sessions.

As long as LINK price trades below the $9 zone, market structure favors continuation pressure toward the $7.50-$8.30 zone, where historical demand and accumulation zone intersect. A decisive defense of $9 could allow LINK to compress and stabilize ahead. However, the current phase is defined by distribution over accumulation and risk reduction over leverage expansion. The market awaits clear evidence of bottoming out and stronger volume response at support. Until then, LINK is not being chased, it is being tested.

Barry Silbert, CEO of cryptocurrency conglomerate Digital Currency Group, described the latest cryptocurrency crash as a god-sent opportunity poised to trigger significant capital inflows back into the sector. Why Silbert Sees Opportunity Amid Chaos In an X post, Silbert referred to the market slump as a “gift from the crypto gods,” suggesting that it is clearing out excess leverage and “crap tokens.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said he plans to sell a Blackhawk helicopter and multiple Lamborghinis and “mothball” his jet, framing the decision as a personal reset and a critique of how crypto’s culture changed after the 2021 boom.

Speaking in a Jan. 31 video recorded from Fukuoka, Hoskinson opened with a market-watcher’s morning ritual and a broader question about what’s still under an industry participant’s control when prices turn against them. “I sat down,” he said, “and I said, ‘Gosh, you know, how did we get here?’” He described the mood as one of reflection after seeing “the markets and the red lights” on his phone.

Why The Cardano Founder Is Selling His Wealth He tied that reflection to a multi-stop community tour across Japan, saying his team had recently presented in Hokkaido and Osaka before arriving in Fukuoka, and urged viewers to watch the latest Japanese community livestream. The trip, he suggested, pulled him back to the early days when Cardano was “just an idea,” and the scene felt more insurgent than institutional.

Hoskinson leaned into that contrast, calling crypto “the punk rock of finance” and arguing that a kind of mainstream acceptance drained energy from the sector. In his telling, 2021 marked a turning point: “We all got rich and we all got accepted. And you know, we all just basically became part of the system.” Once inside, he said, the system “take[s] the life out of it,” “strip[s] you of all the things that make you special,” and repackages work into something more consumerized.

Hoskinson then turned the critique inward, describing his own lifestyle as part of the problem. “I look at myself and I say, you know, I’ve gotten a little fat and happy, literally fat, and also an opulent lifestyle,” he said, arguing that repeating the same approach — “be part of that club, hedge a little bit” — isn’t compatible with doing “great things.”

“So, you know what I’m going to do is get back to that punk rock group,” he said. “Downsize a little bit. So, I’m going to sell my Blackhawk, mothball the jet, sell my Lamborghinis, just go all in. Why not?” He positioned the move as a return to an earlier, leaner period: “I started from nothing. Many of you older fans, you remember when I was sitting in my apartment and I had the stuffed giraffes back on the dresser and those were the days I love more than any other.”

A key part of Hoskinson’s “back to first principles” framing was day-to-day building. He said he has been coding every day and credited modern AI tooling for accelerating creativity, mentioning “a little bit of help from our friend Claude” and “a little bit of help from our friend Codex.”

He also pointed to a heavier technical workload, saying he wrote “over 400 pages of technical documents for Midnight over Christmas,” including an “executable specification oracle with a TLA spec” and a protocol specification. The thread running through the examples was urgency and immersion, doing the work “in the pits,” surrounded by builders, rather than managing crypto as a portfolio or status marker.

The crypto market is down over 4% in the last  24 hours. Crypto liquidations totaled $738.68 million, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major altcoins suffering losses. The whole crypto market fell by around 4.13% in the last 24 hours, bringing its total value to $2.55 trillion. Investor sentiment has rapidly shifted bearish, with the Crypto fear & Greed Index reaching 15, indicating extreme anxiety. The decline is being intensified by a surge in forced liquidations, which are pulling prices down for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins.​

Where Bitcoin is trading at $76,218, down 3.42% over the past 24 hours,  Ethereum is sliding nearly 8% to trade at $2,256 at the time of writing.

​The pressure has passed over into major altcoins, while XRP is down 4.67% over the past 24 hours, trading at $1.58, and Solana has declined 4.22% to around $100.82.  Even Chainlink is down by about 6.30% over the same period and is trading at $9.40.

​Coinglass reports that liquidations in the crypto market have sharply increased during the last 24 hours. A total of $738.68 million was liquidated from 194,078 traders. The bulk of losses, which is about $568.78 million, came from long positions, suggesting that bulls were most severely damaged during the period of selling. Then, short liquidations, on the other hand, totaled $171.77 million.

Weak Demand and Outside Risks Keep Bitcoin Range-Bound As the pressure has been coming from outside crypto as well. The tensions, around U.S.–Iran relations, have added another layer of caution. With that Bitcoin has slipped below several medium-term support levels and is trading like a high-risk stock rather than a trustworthy one.

​While the CryptoQuant analysis says that rather than a significant crash or a robust bull market, Bitcoin is currently in a gradual, sideways corrective period, they claim that the on-chain data, Apparent Demand, is negative at about 19,000 BTC, indicating that little fresh money is entering the market and more Bitcoin is being sold than purchased. So, the lack of demand means the market may continue trading sideways rather than having a sudden comeback or breakdown.

Robert Kiyosaki argued that crashes separate rich and poor investors, with the rich people buying assets like Bitcoin He mentioned, “ The gold, silver, and Bitcoin market just crashed….a.k.a. went on sale…and I am waiting….with cash in hand….to begin to buying more gold, silver, and Bitcoin….on sale,” highlighting his bullish stance.

BEIJING, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KANZHUN LIMITED (“BOSS Zhipin” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BZ; HK: 2076) today announced the continued execution of its share repurchase program, utilizing over RMB20 million to repurchase 321,276 ordinary shares. The Company has spent over RMB113 million on share repurchases over the past two weeks. This move is part of the Company's ongoing commitment to shareholder returns. Under its existing repurchase program, BOSS Zhipin may repurchase up to USD250 million worth of its shares by the end of August 2026.

Prior to the Oracle of Omaha's retirement as CEO, he jettisoned nearly 465 million shares of Bank of America and built an 8.8% stake in a beloved consumer brand that's skyrocketed 6,700% since its debut.

For decades, few investors captivated the attention of professional and everyday investors quite like Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A +1.19%)(BRK.B +0.78%) billionaire boss, Warren Buffett. During his roughly six-decade tenure at the helm, the Oracle of Omaha oversaw a nearly 6,100,000% cumulative return in Berkshire's Class A shares (BRK.A). Practically doubling the annualized total return, including dividends, of the benchmark S&P 500 since the mid-1960s made him an instant hit with investors.

While Warren Buffett remains the chairman of Berkshire's board, he officially stepped down from the CEO role at the end of 2025 and handed the baton to his predetermined successor, Greg Abel.

But just because he's no longer overseeing his trillion-dollar company's day-to-day operations, it doesn't mean Buffett stopped making moves to position Berkshire Hathaway for success before he retired.

Thanks to Form 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we know what Buffett was up to in the quarters leading up to his retirement. A 13F is a required filing for institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management that details which stocks Wall Street's smartest and most successful money managers have been buying and selling.

One of the more eyebrow-raising moves leading up to Buffett's departure was his persistent selling of a core holding: Bank of America (BAC +0.23%). While Berkshire's outgoing boss was significantly reducing his company's stake in BofA, as Bank of America is commonly known, he was also building a position in a beloved consumer brand for five consecutive quarters (through Sept. 30, 2025).

Investing legend Warren Buffett cashes in his chips on Bank of America For the better part of the last decade, Bank of America has been a top-three holding in Berkshire Hathaway's investment portfolio. There's arguably no sector Buffett understood better or was more comfortable putting his company's capital to work in than financials.

The beauty of bank stocks is that they're able to take advantage of the natural nonlinearity of economic cycles. Since periods of expansion last notably longer than recessions, bank stocks like BofA are able to prudently grow their loan portfolios over time and thrive in lockstep with the U.S. economy.

Berkshire's now-retired investing legend was likely also a fan of Bank of America's interest rate sensitivity. Compared to America's other money-center banks, none is more sensitive to interest rate shifts. When the Federal Reserve undertook an aggressive rate-hiking cycle to curb inflation from March 2022 to July 2023, it resulted in a sizable increase in BofA's net interest income.

Despite these positives, Buffett oversaw the sale of 464,781,994 shares of Bank of America -- approximately 45% of the position -- from July 17, 2024, to Sept. 30, 2025.

Profit-taking is one plausible explanation for this selling activity. With President Trump lowering the peak marginal corporate income tax rate, locking in profits became advantageous. With the exception of Apple, BofA accounted for a significant portion of Berkshire's unrealized investment gains.

But there may be more to this story than just Buffett's desire to lock in gains. Bank of America's valuation most likely came into play.

The one unwritten investing rule that the Oracle of Omaha never broke or bent was his desire to get a good deal. Value seemed to be the most important aspect of Buffett's investment approach. When Berkshire's billionaire boss initially purchased preferred stock in BofA in August 2011, the company's common shares traded at a 68% discount to book value. As of this writing on Jan. 28, Bank of America stock commands a 35% premium to book. While this isn't outrageously pricey, it's no longer the bargain it once was.

Warren Buffett may have also been anticipating a rate-easing cycle from the central bank. Given that BofA is the most interest-sensitive among America's big banks, a rate-cutting cycle can hurt its interest income generation more than its peers.

Berkshire's now-retired boss wanted his piece of the pie Although Buffett was a net seller of stocks for 12 consecutive quarters, as of the end of September, he did find a select few stocks worth buying in the lead-up to his retirement. Perhaps no company was viewed more fondly during the Oracle of Omaha's proverbial farewell tour than beloved consumer brand, Domino's Pizza (DPZ +0.80%).

While Berkshire's 13F detailing trading activity for the fourth quarter isn't expected to be filed until Feb. 14, prior 13Fs show that the now-retired Buffett was a buyer of Domino's Pizza stock for five consecutive quarters:

Q3 2024: 1,277,256 shares purchased Q4 2024: 1,104,744 shares purchased Q1 2025: 238,613 shares purchased Q2 2025: 13,255 shares purchased Q3 2025: 348,077 shares purchased (2,981,945 total shares held) The nearly 3 million shares Buffett scooped up in the quarters leading to his retirement account for 8.8% of Domino's outstanding shares.

Since its initial public offering in July 2004, Domino's Pizza stock has rallied almost 6,700%, including dividends. Three catalysts have driven this outsize return.

To begin with, Domino's Pizza has earned the trust of its customers. In 2009, management made the tough decision to undertake a mea culpa marketing campaign that bluntly admitted its pizza was not up to par. While blunt transparency doesn't always work, being upfront and honest has endeared customers to the brand. Warren Buffett never underestimated the intangible value of customer loyalty.

Secondly, Domino's Pizza met or exceeded its five-year strategic growth initiatives. Instead of looking a year into the future, Domino's management team has set lofty targets that are several years away. The newest five-year plan, dubbed "Hungry for MORE," emphasizes the use of technology and artificial intelligence to boost output and improve supply chain efficiency. It also empowers its team members to bolster the value of the Domino's brand and revamps the company's marketing campaign.

The third factor that likely encouraged the Oracle of Omaha to buy Domino's stock for five straight quarters prior to his retirement is its international runway. Through 2024, Domino's had grown its international same-store sales for 31 consecutive years. The company's value proposition and products are clearly resonating worldwide.

These three stocks appear to be poised for strong performances in 2026.

February is the shortest month of the year, so investors don't have as much time to buy great stocks as they do in other months. And there are plenty of strong contenders to consider. Here are three stocks I think should be near the top of the list to buy this month.

1. Amazon Amazon (AMZN 1.00%) has lagged well behind the S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.43%) over the last 12 months. However, share prices tend to follow earnings growth sooner or later. Amazon's bottom line is growing robustly, driven in part by the company's initiatives to improve efficiency. I fully expect this trend will continue when Amazon reports its 2025 fourth-quarter results later this week.

I also believe that agentic AI will provide a strong tailwind for Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2026. AWS gained momentum in the third quarter. As companies invest more heavily in deploying AI agents and begin to see returns on those investments, Amazon's industry-leading cloud unit should benefit tremendously.

2. BeOne Medicines Even with its stock soaring more than 50% over the last 12 months, I think BeOne Medicines (ONC 2.75%) ranks among the most underrated biotech stocks on the market. BeOne's flagship product, Brukinsa, is now the gold standard for treating several types of blood cancer. Sales for the blockbuster drug should continue to rise in both the U.S. and Europe.

BeOne recently received Chinese regulatory approval for sonrotoclax for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and R/R chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It awaits U.S. approval for the drug. The company could also soon file for accelerated approval of BGB-16673 for the treatment of R/R CLL, pending positive results from a Phase 2 clinical study.

3. Enterprise Products Partners Enterprise Products Partners (EPD 1.10%) looks like an attractive stock for income investors to scoop up in February. This limited partnership (LP) offers a juicy forward distribution yield of 6.6%. Even better, Enterprise Products Partners has increased its distribution for an impressive 27 consecutive years.

I think there's one key factor that could make Enterprise Products Partners a bigger winner in 2026 than it was last year. The boom in the construction of new data centers hosting artificial intelligence (AI) applications should translate to increased demand for the LP's natural gas pipelines. Enterprise believes that AI will be one of the two most important drivers of growth in natural gas demand over the next five years.
