Crypto: total capitulation atmosphere, extreme fear everywhere.
Bitcoin is in free fall mode: it hit around ~65,000 $ last night / this morning, and is currently hovering around 66,000 – 66,500 $ (according to sources, a bit of a timid but fragile rebound).
That's -48% since the ATH of over 126,000 $ at the end of 2025. The Fear & Greed Index is at 6/100 (extreme fear), the lowest level since the FTX crash in 2022. Many are talking about capitulation in progress, potentially with a bottom between 40-50k if it really breaks down.
Ethereum is struggling around $1,900, still bearish with critical support at $1,800.
Global market: total cap ~2.33T$, down, altcoins are massacred except for a few outliers like RIVER (+26%), KITE (+20%), and Humanity Protocol which is pumping on specific hype.
Hot news:
Coinbase has reported terrible Q4 2025 results (net loss of ~667M$, revenues in decline).
BTC options ~2.5B$ expiring today, max pain around 74k (but we are far from that).
Standard Chartered has slashed its BTC target for the end of 2026 to 100k (previously it was 150-300k).
General "risk-off" sentiment, strong dollar weighing.
