Cryptocurrency Market (Friday, February 6 close)

Bitcoin (BTC): ≈ $53,200, continuing a steady grind higher as ETF inflows remained consistent and volatility stayed compressed.
Ethereum (ETH): ≈ $2,820, extending gains on strong Layer-2 activity and sustained staking participation.
Solana (SOL): ≈ $145, outperforming majors as developer activity and consumer-app momentum accelerated.
XRP (XRP): ≈ $0.78, firmer as regulatory uncertainty continued to ease and sentiment improved.
BNB (BNB): ≈ $385, trending higher with consistent on-chain usage and exchange volumes.
Cardano (ADA): ≈ $0.72, improving alongside broader altcoin participation.
Dogecoin (DOGE): ≈ $0.14, modestly higher as speculative appetite expanded in a risk-on environment.

Key Market Drivers

• ETF Flows Remain Supportive: Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows continued to provide a structural bid under BTC, anchoring the broader market.

• Risk-On Cross-Asset Correlation: Strength in equities—particularly mega-cap tech and AI—continued to spill over into digital assets.

• Fed Expectations Stable: Markets remained comfortable with a gradual, later-year easing path, reducing macro uncertainty for crypto.

• Ethereum Network Strength: Layer-2 throughput and steady staking participation supported ETH’s relative outperformance.

• Altcoin Breadth Improves: Capital began rotating beyond BTC and ETH into high-quality altcoins, led by SOL and select large-caps.

Emerging Crypto Projects & Ecosystem News

• AI + Crypto Theme Expands: Projects focused on decentralized compute, AI inference, and data marketplaces gained further traction as a defining 2026 narrative.

• Real-World Asset Tokenization: Tokenized treasuries, private credit, and fund structures continued to attract institutional interest and development activity.

• Ethereum Scaling Momentum: Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base sustained strong user growth and transaction counts, reinforcing Ethereum’s role as settlement infrastructure.

• Solana Consumer Apps: New payments, gaming, and social applications launched across the Solana ecosystem, supporting continued relative strength.

• Regulatory Backdrop Remains Calm: A quieter enforcement environment reduced headline risk and helped maintain constructive sentiment across major tokens.

Market Sentiment & Outlook

• Short-Term Sentiment: Constructive but disciplined; momentum remains positive, though markets are increasingly sensitive to macro surprises.

• Support / Resistance Levels:

  • BTC: Support $51,500–$52,000, resistance $55,000–$57,000.

  • ETH: Support $2,700–$2,750, resistance $3,000.

  • SOL: Support $138–$140, resistance $155.

• Volatility: Implied volatility remains relatively low, leaving room for sharper directional moves if flows accelerate.

• Medium-Term View: Structural tailwinds—ETFs, scaling solutions, AI integration, and institutional infrastructure—remain intact; near-term consolidation after recent gains would be healthy.

• Strategy Note: Favor liquid leaders and infrastructure plays, respect extended conditions, and use pullbacks opportunistically rather than chasing momentum.

GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) volatility model

The following charts present 6-month historical price trends for the top eight cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, SOL, LINK, XRP, BNB, ADA, and DOGE), using the GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) volatility model, which is commonly used in financial markets to capture the clustering nature of volatility—periods of high volatility tend to follow high volatility, and calm periods tend to persist. Using recent return data, the model projects expected volatility levels and translates them into forecast price bands with midpoint targets and potential highs under strong momentum scenarios. This is trial for the next 4 weeks and will be enhanced.
