Bitcoin has plunged as low as $60,057, marking a 50% drawdown from its October peak of $126,000. While we are seeing a slight relief bounce toward $66,000 today, February 6, the damage to the charts is catastrophic.

Nick Valdez looks at the CRASH of Bitcoin. Where are we heading? Is this the bottom? How long will this downtrend last? Michael Burry of "The Big Short" fame has a VERY dire warning. Make sure to watch the levels I think we hit next at the end!

The altcoin market is in a total bloodbath. While Bitcoin struggles to hold the $69k–$70k range, the broader market is witnessing a "Great Deleveraging." Over $180 billion has been wiped out in the last 24 hours alone, and sentiment has officially plummeted into "Extreme Fear."

Bitcoin is in freefall. After a devastating 45% drop from the $126,000 all-time high, BTC has officially broken below the psychological $70,000 level today, February 5, 2026. As we retest the $69,000 mark—erasing over a year of bull market gains—the "Death Spiral" warnings are getting louder.

Nick Valdez checks some very encouraging sign on when the Bitcoin bear market may be coming to an end! After looking at the reverse-indicators, you might start feeling like the end is near. It is starting to appear that Bitcoin will reward those with patience!

Bitcoin is bleeding. After a brutal January, the sell-off has intensified, sending BTC tumbling toward the $72,000 mark—a level we haven't seen in months. With the market down over 40% from the October highs of $126,000, everyone is asking the same question: Is $69,000 the next stop?

Is the Ethereum dream dead?

Is Bitcoin about to make its next big move? In this episode, we break down why THIS moment could be the best opportunity to buy Bitcoin before the next major breakout.

Nick Valdez looks at the latest market crash with the next level Bitcoin MUST hold for support!

Bitcoin just took a massive hit, sliding toward the $81,000 mark as markets digest the news: Kevin Warsh has been officially nominated by President Trump to succeed Jerome Powell as the next Federal Reserve Chair. While Warsh has a history of being "crypto-friendly"—even calling Bitcoin a "policeman" for bad monetary policy—the market is reacting to his reputation as a monetary hawk. In this episode, we break down why the "Warsh Shock" triggered $1.8 billion in liquidations and what his leadership means for the future of liquidity, interest rates, and your portfolio.

Is XRP finally becoming the global reserve asset the world has been waiting for? In 2026, the conversation has shifted from "Will it survive?" to "How high can it go?" As the digital bridge for the world's central banks, XRP is no longer just a token—it's the backbone of the new financial system.

BlackRock is doubling down on Bitcoin, and the timing couldn't be more critical. As we navigate the early months of 2026, the shift from "speculative asset" to "institutional staple" is happening in real-time.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into Morpho, the decentralized lending protocol that is quietly becoming the backbone of the entire crypto credit market. While most people are looking at Aave or Compound, Morpho has built a "universal backend" that's already powering giants like Coinbase, Bitwise, and Société Générale.

We're LIVE for the FOMC meeting — and Jerome Powell's speech could trigger a MASSIVE crypto move! All eyes are on the Fed as traders brace for potential rate cuts and liquidity signals that could send Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana soaring.

Is this the end of the road for altcoins, or the ultimate "buy the dip" opportunity of 2026? With the recent market crash wiping out billions and Bitcoin dominance reaching multi-year highs, the "Altcoin Doomsday" narrative is everywhere.

Is a Silver CRASH imminent after its massive 2026 rally?

With only 4 hours remaining until the daily close and the FOMC interest rate decision, the $BTC price is at a massive breaking point. Will the Fed's decision to pause or pivot send crypto to new all-time highs, or are we looking at a local top?

In this episode, we'll break down exactly what happens to Bitcoin if Trump follows through, how it could spark volatility across Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, and why traders are bracing for impact.

For episode 670 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Phil Fogel, CEO and Co-founder of Cork.DeFi has a $100B+ problem: you can't trade the risk. Insurance exists, but it's expensive, illiquid, and doesn't cover the economic chaos that actually wipes people out: depeg events, protocol runs, cascading liquidations etc. Phil Fogel, CEO and co-founder of Cork, backed by a16z crypto, Road Capital and more, explains that the system fails when risk is opaque and largely untradeable. Without tools to manage downside dynamically, stress compounds and volatility turns into contagion. Cork is his response. It is not insurance, but market-based risk infrastructure. By making risk programmable and tradable through swap tokens, participants can address stress before it cascades. Phil's broader perspective is about market structure. DeFi will not scale safely or attract institutions until risk management functions like a market rather than a promise. 

In this episode of the RattlerGator Report, host JB White delivers a wide-ranging analysis focused on American power, sovereignty, and the structural realities shaping current events. The episode examines digital assets and stablecoins through the lens of dollar supremacy, arguing that innovation, not restriction, is central to maintaining U.S. economic dominance. JB explores global dynamics involving China, Europe, and the City of London, emphasizing why rival systems struggle to compete with American innovation and forward-thinking culture. The discussion also dives deeply into the Minnesota unrest, using it as a case study to explain the relationship between individual sovereignty, state authority, and federal power. JB breaks down why federal action is constrained by constitutional structure, judicial process, and jurisdiction, and why patience is required as accountability unfolds. Throughout the episode, the focus remains on discernment, constitutional order, and understanding how power actually operates rather than how it is portrayed.
