India's central bank may have concluded its easing cycle, according to a report by Capital Economics' Asia economist Shivaan Tandon. According to Jin10, Tandon noted that the recent bilateral trade agreements, which significantly reduced tariffs on Indian exports to the U.S., have moderately improved India's economic growth prospects. This development is likely a key reason for the central bank's decision to halt further policy easing. Additionally, the recent rise in precious metal prices has led the central bank to raise its inflation expectations. Tandon believes that given the improved economic outlook and inflation trending towards the 4% medium-term target, the threshold for resuming rate cuts is now considerably high.

Large Bitcoin holders have reduced their share of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply to the lowest level in nine months, as Bitcoin prices declined sharply and market sentiment deteriorated, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment.In a post on X on Thursday, Santiment said so-called “whale and shark” wallets—addresses holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC—now control approximately 68.04% of total Bitcoin supply, marking a nine-month low. The firm said this group has collectively sold around 81,068 BTC over the past eight days.The reduction in large-holder exposure coincided with a steep price drop. Bitcoin fell from roughly $90,000 to $65,000, a decline of about 27%, over the same period, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin was trading near $64,800 at the time of publication, after briefly dipping just above $60,000.Whales sell as retail accumulatesMarket participants closely track large Bitcoin wallets for signals of accumulation or distribution, as shifts in whale behavior can influence liquidity and price trends.Santiment noted that while large holders have been selling aggressively, smaller investors have continued to accumulate. “This combination of key stakeholders selling and retail buying is what historically creates bear cycles,” the firm said.Supporting the cautious outlook, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju said on X that “every Bitcoin analyst is now bearish,” reflecting the broader shift in market sentiment.Sentiment sinks to multi-year lowsThe Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which tracks overall crypto investor sentiment, fell to 9 out of 100 on Friday—its lowest reading since mid-2022, when markets were still reeling from the collapse of the Terra.Meanwhile, Santiment data shows that “shrimp” wallets—addresses holding less than 0.1 BTC—have risen to a 20-month high. This cohort now controls about 0.249% of Bitcoin’s total supply, equivalent to roughly 52,290 BTC.A similar pattern emerged in mid-2024, when retail accumulation increased as Bitcoin traded near $66,000 before falling to $53,000 two months later. Prices later rebounded sharply, reaching $100,000 for the first time in December 2024, following a surge in risk appetite after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election.The latest data suggests that while retail demand remains resilient, continued selling by large holders has become a defining feature of the current market downturn.

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund recorded its highest trading volume on record on Thursday, underscoring signs of intensified institutional selling as Bitcoin slid toward the $60,000 level.According to Nasdaq data, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw more than 284 million shares traded, representing over $10 billion in notional value. The figure surpassed its previous volume record of 169.2 million shares set in November by roughly 69%.The surge in activity coincided with a sharp price decline. IBIT fell 13% on the day to below $35, its lowest level since October 2024, extending its year-to-date loss to 27%. The fund peaked near $71.82 in early October.Redemptions accelerate amid market stressIBIT also accounted for a significant share of ETF outflows. The fund saw $175.3 million in redemptions on Thursday, representing about 40% of the $434.1 million in net outflows across spot Bitcoin ETFs, according to data from SoSoValue.As the world’s largest publicly listed Bitcoin fund, IBIT holds physical Bitcoin and is designed to closely track spot prices. The product has served as a primary access point for institutions seeking regulated exposure to Bitcoin, which fell sharply during the session.Options market reflects peak fearDerivatives activity reinforced the bearish signal. IBIT options saw a pronounced skew toward downside protection, with longer-dated put options trading at a premium of more than 25 volatility points above call options, according to MarketChameleon.Such an extreme put bias is often associated with capitulation, a phase in which investors exit positions aggressively amid heightened fear and deteriorating sentiment.Market implicationsThe combination of record trading volume, accelerating redemptions, and defensive positioning in options markets suggests institutional investors may be entering the most intense selling phase of the current downturn. While capitulation can sometimes precede market stabilization, analysts caution that bear markets can persist longer than expected, even after peak fear emerges.

Bitcoin’s sharp decline toward $60,000, marking a nearly 30% drop over the past week, has triggered widespread speculation among traders and analysts that the sell-off may have been driven by a large, forced liquidation rather than routine macro or risk-off positioning.The move represents Bitcoin’s most severe bout of selling since the 2022 FTX collapse, with market participants on X pointing to a growing “narrative vacuum” as prices fell rapidly through key technical levels.Forced selling theories gain tractionSeveral traders described the sell-off as unusually aggressive and indiscriminate. Crypto trader Flood said the price action appeared “forced,” suggesting possibilities ranging from a sovereign entity selling billions of dollars’ worth of Bitcoin to a major exchange-related balance sheet failure.A more detailed hypothesis was put forward by Pantera Capital general partner Franklin Bi, who suggested the seller may not have been a crypto-native firm.According to Bi, the liquidation could involve a large Asia-based institution with limited crypto-native counterparties, which may explain why on-chain analysts and crypto traders did not detect stress earlier. He outlined a potential chain reaction involving leveraged positions on Binance, a Japanese yen carry trade unwind, deteriorating liquidity, and a failed attempt to recover losses through gold and silver trades before a forced Bitcoin liquidation accelerated this week.IBIT activity raises options-driven unwind questionsOthers pointed to unusual activity in BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF as a possible factor.DeFi Development Corp. COO and CIO Parker White noted that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) recorded its highest-ever daily trading volume of $10.7 billion, alongside a record $900 million in options premium.White argued the pattern more closely resembles a large, options-driven liquidation than a typical crypto leverage unwind. He also pointed to stress in Hong Kong–linked funds, suggesting a leveraged IBIT options strategy—potentially funded with yen borrowing—may have unraveled as volatility spiked and funding costs rose.“I have no hard evidence here, just some hunches and bread crumbs,” White said, adding that the scenario appeared plausible given the scale and speed of the move.Security concerns re-emerge amid falling pricesBeyond leverage and liquidity, the sell-off has revived longer-term concerns around Bitcoin’s security model.Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, said falling prices may finally force meaningful attention on Bitcoin’s quantum security risks, an issue he has warned about previously.Edwards argued that lower prices could act as a catalyst for coordinated investment in quantum-resistant upgrades, adding that liquidity thinning and collapsing sentiment may create conditions for more serious discussion across the ecosystem.Market impact and outlookBitcoin’s recent decline has been characterized by sudden air pockets and sharp intraday swings, replacing the orderly dip-buying seen earlier in the year. The move has pushed BTC back toward levels last seen in late 2024, while liquidity across major venues has appeared thin.Altcoins have come under heavier pressure, and market sentiment has fallen to levels comparable to the post-FTX period. Until ETF flows, derivatives positioning, and funding markets stabilize, traders say rebounds are likely to be treated with caution rather than conviction.

On Feb 06, 2026, 07:04 AM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum has dropped below 1,900 USDT and is now trading at 1,899.589966 USDT, with a narrowed 10.10% decrease in 24 hours.

Bitcoin experienced a significant downturn this morning, according to ChainCatcher. The cryptocurrency's decline reached -5.65 standard deviations over a 200-day look-back period. In manufacturing, the Six Sigma standard allows for only 3.4 defects per million, defining such an event as nearly impossible. Yesterday's Bitcoin volatility was just 0.35 standard deviations away from this industrial-level improbability. The theoretical probability of a -5.65σ event in a normal distribution is about one in a billion. Despite the presence of fat-tail effects in financial markets, such volatility has only occurred four times since Bitcoin trading records began in July 2010, representing approximately 0.07% of all trading days. Even during the deep bear markets of 2018 and 2022, such rapid declines within a 200-day rolling period were not observed, posing a significant challenge to quantitative strategies. Most current quantitative models are based on data from 2015 onwards. Historical samples exceeding 5.65σ, aside from the 2020 '312' flash crash anomaly, occurred before 2015, leaving little precedent for reference. CoinKarma's quantitative strategy faced a paper loss during this market event. However, due to maintaining low leverage (around 1.4 times), the overall impact remains manageable, with a maximum drawdown of about 30%. While extreme market conditions are costly learning experiences, contract and on-chain data will be crucial for future risk control models.

목요일, 비트코인 가격이 63,000달러 아래로 떨어지며 2024년 11월 이후 최저 수준을 기록했다. 1월 28일 90,500달러 돌파 시도가 실패한 이후 비트코인 가격은 30% 하락했으며, 이로 인해 트레이더들은 최근 상승 모멘텀에 대해 회의적인 시각을 보이고 있다. 미약한 미국 고용 시장 데이터와 인공지능 분야에 대한 막대한 자본 지출 우려가 현재의 비관적 분위기를 가중시켰다. 비트코인 급락이 거시경제적 변화에 기인했는지 여부와 관계없이, 옵션 트레이더들은 현재 시장이 비트코인이 3월에 9만 달러 수준으로 회복될 확률을 고작 6%로 보고 있다고 평가한다.
