What we’re seeing today—February 4, 2026—isn't just a "dip." It’s a classic leverage flush accelerated by a macro "canary in the coal mine."

The market is currently bleeding out from a sharp correction that wiped out billions in capitalization over the last two weeks. Bitcoin is struggling to find a floor around 76,000 usdt, and the technical damage is significant.

Here is my breakdown of the current structural health of the market:

1. The "Trump Bump" Has Fully Erased

We’ve officially given back all the gains from the post-election euphoria of late 2024. This is a psychological blow. When the "pro-crypto" political narrative stops supporting the price floor, the market reverts to cold, hard liquidity math. The brief dip to 73,000 usdt yesterday tells me the "long" bias is broken; we are now in a Technical Bear Market, down roughly 40% from the 126k usdt peak.

2. The Institutional De-Risking

The most concerning metric right now isn't the price—it's the ETF outflows. We just saw the largest single-day exit from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs since November 2025 (nearly 818M usdt). Institutional "paper hands" are spooked by two things:

The Warsh Factor: The nomination of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair has brought "hawkish" fears back to the table.

Geopolitical Credit Stress: With tensions rising between the US and Iran and another government shutdown looming, the "Risk-Off" switch has been flipped. Investors are moving to gold (PAXG is up) and cash.

3. Altcoin Decimation & The "AI" Divergence

Ethereum is underperforming severely, currently testing the 2,200 usdt multi-year support. A break below that could see us spiraling toward 1,800 usdt.
However, note the divergence: while the "old guard" (SOL, ADA, MATIC) is dropping 5-10%, low-cap AI-linked tokens and infrastructure plays like ZKP are seeing speculative spikes. This suggests that while the "store of value" trade is hurting, the "technological utility" trade is where the remaining brave capital is hiding.

4. Miner Capitulation

The Bitcoin hashrate has dropped to levels we haven't seen in years. This indicates that at 76k usdt, older mining rigs are finally being unplugged. Historically, miner capitulation is the final stage of a bottoming process. It’s ugly, it’s painful, but it's necessary to clear the "weak" producers.

The Verdict:

We are in a "Despair & Malaise" phase.

Short-term: Stay defensive. Until BTC can reclaim and hold 80,000 usdt on high volume, the path of least resistance is still down. Watch the 74,400 usdt level like a hawk; if that fails, we’re looking at 66,000 usdt.

Long-term: These are the "generational entry points" people wish for during bull runs. If you have the stomach for it, this is an accumulation zone, not a panic-selling zone.
