Crypto exchange-traded products saw $187 million of weekly outflows, while trading activity climbed to a record $63.1 billion. Selling pressure moderated after recent declines, even as Bitcoin briefly touched $60,000 on Coinbase. Bitcoin products led withdrawals; XRP drew $63 million of inflows, with smaller gains for Ether ($5.3 million) and Solana ($8.2 million).

Bitcoin recovered nearly 2% after briefly falling below $70,000, but analysts argue the move sits within a broader bearish setup. One trader expects BTC to oscillate between roughly $57,000 and $87,000 before eventually breaking lower toward the $44,000–$50,000 area, while others highlight its position below the 50-week EMA near $95,300 as a sign of continued vulnerability.

Bitcoin began the second week of February trading above $70,000, while multiple analysts warned that a convincing macro bottom may still lie closer to $60,000 or even $50,000. Upcoming U.S. CPI data, shifting expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, movements in the U.S. dollar index and Japan's post-election policy stance are all seen as key factors for BTC price volatility, alongside elevated miner BTC transfers to exchanges.

From Feb. 9 to 13, U.S. data releases—including December Retail Sales on Monday, the January Jobs Report Wednesday, and January CPI Friday—may shape crypto sentiment after last week's $700 billion slide.

Ripple's XRP has suffered a 31% monthly decline and, on the daily chart, has fallen below the key $1.2 swing low, signaling a structural breakdown in price. The token is now interacting with a broader demand zone near $1.00, where remaining buy orders appear limited and sellers still dominate. On the 4-hour timeframe, price action shows a corrective bounce toward an internal supply region around $1.5, which traders may view as resistance within an ongoing bearish trend.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) is dominating the decentralized derivatives market, reaching a record $6.84M in daily revenue and a top 15 market cap ranking.

Japan's Nikkei 225 jumped 3.4% to a record 57,000 after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's landslide win and a proposed $135 billion stimulus, according to the report. Gold pushed past $5,000 per ounce, while Bitcoin briefly hit $72,000 before holding above $70,000. A Trump post dated February 8, 2026 added to upbeat sentiment.

ASTER surged 53.85% in three days from a $0.403 low after Bitcoin's recent sell-off, yet its daily market structure remains bearish. Key resistance sits around $0.656-$0.725, while a $44.49 million token unlock of 78.11 million ASTER on 17 February could intensify selling pressure.

Bitcoin rebounded from the $60,500 low and is consolidating above $70,000, with resistance lining up at $71,200 and the $72,000 area. According to the hourly BTC/USD chart using Kraken data, price sits above the 100-hour SMA after a break of a $69,800 trendline, but a rejection at $72,000 could send it back toward $68,500–$67,200.
