Solana showed a strong intraday rebound after price pressure earlier this week. As the entire cryptocurrency market gained about $200 billion in value, SOL also rebounded significantly.

Active dip buying pressure has prevented a larger decline, stabilizing Solana's price, and it recorded a daily increase of 12% despite market uncertainties.

Solana LTH, still not bullish

According to on-chain data, the buying pressure from long-term holders is slowing down. The change in HODLer net positions has decreased, indicating that the accumulation by investors supporting prices during the downturn has diminished. This change appeared after last week's sharp drop in SOL, suggesting a weakening of long-term conviction.

China's top financial regulator has significantly expanded its existing cryptocurrency ban policy. This expansion particularly focuses on the issuance of stablecoins and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).

This joint announcement was made on February 6 by eight institutions, including the People's Bank of China and the China Securities Regulatory Commission. This action represents the strongest capital control measures since the significant ban on Bitcoin mining and trading in 2021.

This amendment is detailed in Staff Letter 25-40 and is an important measure to rectify the existing guidelines published in December.

After a sharp sell-off that shook investor confidence across the market, XRP showed a significant rebound. This token experienced substantial losses, resulting in panic selling among small investors.

However, some groups of investors have taken the downturn as an opportunity. Their strategic accumulation has already begun to shift the flow of XRP.

XRP holders show strong support

XRP whale investors led the recent rebound. In the past 48 hours, wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP have accumulated over 230 million tokens. Based on the current price, this buying scale exceeds $335 million, demonstrating strong conviction from large investors.

President Donald Trump launched TrumpRx, a government support platform aimed at reducing the burden of drug costs for Americans this week. Shortly after the announcement, concerns were raised about pressure for price cuts, but the financial markets reacted clearly.

On February 6, major pharmaceutical stocks showed strength. This suggests that investors do not see TrumpRx as a threat to short-term profits. This market response also affects overall risk appetite, including cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin has experienced a sharp decline over the last 48 hours. Individual investors are feeling fearful, and concerns about Bitcoin's future survival have increased. On Friday, the price somewhat recovered. However, investors are preparing for the next major drop and its severity.

Fortunately, it is not the first time that the future looks bleak in the cryptocurrency industry this year. During such times, the past serves as the best benchmark for evaluating what might happen next, what movements to avoid, and how serious the current situation is. Many of the answers can be found in the collapse of 2022.

Hyperliquid is showing the strongest performance in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin has fallen about 28%, and Ethereum has dropped about 40%. In contrast, HYPE has risen about 25% over the past month and nearly 10% in the last 7 days. Recently, the price of Hyperliquid has increased by about 3%.

However, behind this bullish trend, several technical and derivative indicators suggest that the internal strength of the rally is weakening. Failure to break through, weakening trading volume, and increased leverage risk are putting pressure on the sustainability of Hyperliquid's upward trend.

On February 6, after a significant decline the previous day that pushed stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities into oversold territory, global markets showed an overall rebound. Bitcoin recovered to around $70,000, while U.S. stocks, gold, and silver also rose due to technical buying and easing short-term macroeconomic uncertainties.

This recovery has emerged not from fundamental changes but after a strong deleveraging phase.

Technical range, triggering a rebound

The rebound began as key technical support levels were maintained across various asset classes. The S&P 500 index reached the 100-day moving average, which systematic and discretionary investors were closely watching. This triggered mechanical buying from funds adjusting risk portfolios after several waves of significant selling.

Ethereum has plummeted by about 29% over the past week, with prices falling below $2,000. Currently, Ethereum is trading at its lowest level in nine months, reflecting a serious bearish sentiment across the market.

The situation is worsening due to weakened buyer support. On-chain data confirms that Ethereum holders are experiencing increased stress.

Ethereum holder, transitioning back to selling

Ethereum holders are increasingly engaging in panic selling as market conditions deteriorate. On-chain data of realized profit and loss indicators shows that investors are selling despite losses. Over the last 24 hours, realized losses have exceeded $1.2 billion, indicating that holders are focusing more on risk reduction rather than recovery, leading to large-scale capitulation.

The price of Cardano (ADA) broke out of the descending channel, falling by about 20% to $0.22 before sharply rebounding. The rapid recovery of 17% towards $0.25 attracted new buyers at lower levels.

However, market sentiment remains weak and key technical risks have not been resolved, so this rebound is currently being strictly scrutinized. Nevertheless, there is evidence that this ADA price rebound could be the beginning of a larger movement.

Bithumb, a South Korean cryptocurrency exchange, officially confirmed that an unusual distribution of Bitcoin occurred during a promotional event due to operational errors.

This incident caused a sudden price distortion on the platform for a short period, but the market stabilized within minutes.

Bithumb acknowledges the erroneous distribution of Bitcoin.

In its statement, Bithumb apologized to users, saying, "During the event, an unusually large amount of Bitcoin was distributed to some customers, causing temporary volatility as recipients sold those assets."

As the weekend approaches, some altcoins are showing early signs that could determine short-term price fluctuations. From a strong return to an upward trend to a fatigue-laden deep decline, the market presents mixed technical outlooks.

BeInCrypto has analyzed three tokens that investors should pay attention to as the weekend approaches.

Decred (DCR)

Decred has shown a strong bullish expansion, surging to $24.70 after recovering the $20.22 pivot. This impulsive candle confirms that buying pressure has regained control after forming higher lows above $17.45. This movement has clearly shifted short-term momentum to a bullish trend, ending a prolonged consolidation phase.

Korea's cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb experienced a large-scale operational accident on February 6, 2026. As a result, the BTC/KRW trading pair price recorded a double-digit decline.

This incident recalls past controversies surrounding Bithumb. Notably, there was an incident where some responsibility was acknowledged for information leaks.

Bithumb mistakenly airdrops 2,000 BTC… Bitcoin drops 10%

According to reports, an employee mistakenly sent 2,000 Bitcoin (BTC) instead of the originally intended 2,000 won to hundreds of users.

BeInCrypto has been selected as the 'Best Cryptocurrency Publisher' at The Crypto Awards 2025, Russia's leading cryptocurrency and blockchain awards ceremony.

In particular, we would like to express our gratitude and congratulations to Evgeniya Likhodey, the editor-in-chief of BeInCrypto Russia. Thanks to Editor Likhodey's outstanding leadership, the editorial team has been able to provide in-depth analysis and news to both experts and general readers.

The price of Solana has shown a sharp rebound following one of the largest declines recorded recently. After breaking out of the descending channel on February 4, SOL dropped about 30% to around $67. Subsequently, the token recovered by more than 15% and rose back to around $78.

On the surface, this rebound appears encouraging. However, on-chain data indicates that this rebound has been driven more by short-term speculative demand than by long-term genuine demand. Historical patterns suggest that similar recovery trends often dissipate quickly when speculative funds flood in. Current indicators suggest that if Solana does not recover this critical zone, it may be vulnerable to further declines.
