$BTC Bitcoin BTC Price This Week: Negative Indicators and Possible Continuation of Stagnation
It seems that the Bitcoin BTC price may continue to move in a narrow range during this week’s trading, as the latest on-chain data reveals that the Bitcoin Premium indicator on the Coinbase platform has once again fallen below zero.
The decline in this indicator indicates weak US institutional demand, which could lead to a price stagnation or even a downward correction. This comes at a time when Bitcoin ETFs are recording outflows of hundreds of millions of dollars, reflecting the sluggish sentiment of large investors.
Will this weak trend continue or is the market able to regain momentum soon?
Coinbase Premium Below Zero
In a tweet, cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that the Bitcoin Premium indicator on Coinbase has once again fallen to a critical level in the past few days.
Coinbase Premium is a financial indicator that measures the difference in the price of BTC between Coinbase Pro and Binance, reflecting the behavior of investors, especially US financial institutions.

$XRP Ripple XRP Price Nears 3-Month Low… Before a Bearish Explosion!
Since early February, a relative balance between buying and selling pressure has kept XRP within a tight price range. It has faced significant resistance at $2.76 and found bullish support at $2.30
However, technical indicators now suggest that this balance could soon tilt in favor of the bears, paving the way for a potential price collapse.
XRP Struggles to Hold as Selling Pressure Mounts
BeInCrypto’s 1-day XRP/USD chart review reveals that the token’s price has been oscillating between $2.76 and $2.30 since February 3. When an asset trades within a range like this, its price moves between a defined support and resistance level without breaking out in either direction, indicating a balance between buying and selling pressure.
However, the increasing bias against XRP suggests a potential breakout of the support at $2.30 in the near term. The increasing sell-off, highlighted by the money flow of XRP (CMF), reflects this. At the time of publication, the indicator is below the zero line at -0.04.
Broccoli meme coin surges after CZ reveals large holdings of $BNB
After Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao revealed his personal wallet, the price of Broccoli, a meme coin built on BNB, surged by nearly 33%.
Despite the surge in the asset, its altcoin BNB actually fell. This is likely because CZ’s large holdings were public knowledge.

Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the former CEO and co-founder of Binance, has been influencing the market through his wallet holdings. Most recently, he caused a meme coin surge after claiming to have little experience with DEX trading and triggered an influx of Broccoli coins when he revealed the name of its core.

KAITO Fails to Reach $2 as Selling Pressure Overwhelms Upside Momentum KAITO’s recent airdrop surprised many, sparking initial excitement. However, the token is now struggling to maintain user interest – a common problem seen with other airdrops. The altcoin has dropped 7% in the past 24 hours, highlighting short-term selling pressure, but is still up 60% since launch.
Currently, KAITO BBTrend is negative at -10.7, indicating continued bearish momentum, while ADX at 13.49 shows no clear direction. With the price fluctuating between potential support at $1.35 and resistance above $2, KAITO faces a crucial moment to either consolidate gains or continue a downward correction.
KAITO BBTrend Stable, but Negative
Currently, KAITO BBTrend is at -10.7, reflecting a sharp reversal after hitting an all-time high of 10.8 just yesterday.
This dramatic drop represents a shift from strong bullish momentum to negative territory in less than 24 hours, indicating increased selling pressure.
The rapid change suggests that bearish sentiment is taking over, as a BBTrend turn negative often signals the start of a downtrend.
With KAITO BBTrend hovering around -10 and -11 in the past few hours, continued weakness and the potential for a downtrend to continue is highlighted.
$ETH Ethereum (ETH) Rebounds with Strong Demand as Whales Target $2,900
Ethereum (ETH) has shown signs of recovery after the sharp decline caused by the Bybit hack, which weighed on its price. Despite this rebound, ETH is still down by around 18% over the past 30 days, reflecting continued volatility.
It is worth noting that ETH’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has risen to 58.6 from a low of 39.2 during the selloff, indicating renewed buying pressure. This recovery in the RSI suggests that market sentiment is gradually improving, which could pave the way for further price gains if the momentum continues.

The RSI for ETH is currently at 58.6, a notable increase from the 39.2 level it reached after the Bybit breakout significantly impacted its price.
The recovery in the RSI reflects the buying momentum that ETH has gained since the sharp decline.
This upward move in the RSI suggests that buying pressure has returned, helping Ethereum’s price stabilize and potentially paving the way for further price gains if the momentum continues.
$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) Struggles After Bybit Breakout, But Indicators Point To A Rebound Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading below $100,000 since February 5, facing continued resistance despite attempts to recover. Recent indicators suggest that sellers have taken control, with Bitcoin’s Directional Movement Index (DMI) showing increased downside pressure.
However, the Ichimoku Cloud is pointing to a potential reversal if Bitcoin manages to break key resistance areas. If bullish momentum returns, BTC could test resistance at $97,756 and potentially reclaim the $100,000 level, with $102,668 as the next target.
BTC DMI shows sellers have taken control in the past 24 hours
Bitcoin’s Directional Movement Index (DMI) shows that the Average Directional Index (ADX) is currently at 21.2, having briefly touched 22.9, up from 15.5 two days ago.
The ADX measures the strength of a trend without indicating its direction, and ranges from 0 to 100. Typically, values above 25 indicate a strong trend, while values below 20 indicate a weak or ranging market.
With the ADX hovering around 21.2, Bitcoin’s trend is relatively weak, indicating a potential transition period.
This suggests that the previous bullish momentum is losing steam, which could lead to a reversal or the start of a downtrend.
#VIRTUALWhale Story (IP) Rises to Top 10 AI Coins, Overtakes VIRTUAL Story (IP) is experiencing a massive surge, surging nearly 40% in the past 24 hours. This pushes its market cap to around $680 million and places it among the top 10 AI coins. This strong surge has been fueled by increased buying pressure, with indicators like ADX and CMF confirming the strength of the uptrend.
Story’s technical setup suggests that momentum is accelerating, with the EMA structure consolidating the ongoing upward movement. If this trend continues, Story could soon test 3$ or higher, but if the momentum fades, it risks a sharp correction towards 2,16$ or lower.
ADX Story Shows Current Uptrend Is Very Strong
Story’s ADX is on the rise, currently at 55.1, up sharply from 34.2 just a day ago. This rapid rise indicates that the strength of Story’s trend is increasing at an unprecedented pace.
The ADX (Average Directional Index) does not determine whether a trend is bullish or bearish but rather measures the strength of the current move.
With Story (IP) already in an uptrend and at an all-time high, this rise in ADX suggests that momentum is accelerating rather than slowing down, boosting the potential for additional gains.
$ETH Ethereum (ETH) drops 5% after $1.5 billion Bybit hack: What’s next?

CryptoQuant CEO Announces Alt Season Amid Liquidity Struggle, But There’s a Catch The long-awaited alt season has arrived, according to CryptoQuant CEO Ki-Young Joo.
However, the analyst says this season follows a different set of rules, unlike previous cycles that were driven by clear capital rotations from Bitcoin to altcoins.
Analyst Predicts Alt Season — But Not as Expected Joo’s latest observations suggest that stablecoin holders, not Bitcoin traders, are fueling selective altcoin gains as market liquidity remains tight.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Joo announced that alt season has begun, noting a sharp increase in altcoin trading volumes. According to the analyst, altcoin trading volumes are now 2.7x that of Bitcoin. However, Joo also noted that this is not a broad-based rally.
“It’s a very selective alt season… Only a few coins are going up. “With no new liquidity, it feels like a PvP battle over a fixed pie,” he wrote.
