The cryptocurrency market is experiencing extreme fear, with Bitcoin (BTC) dropping to $75,700 and Ethereum (ETH) to $2,220, causing $435 million in liquidations. A survey of 1,189 investors revealed that 45.6% believe BTC’s 2026 bottom will be between $75,000–$85,000, while 30.2% see it at $60,000–$75,000. Nearly half of respondents (47.2%) plan to DCA and hold long-term. Key on-chain metrics from Glassnode indicate potential support levels: the short-term holder cost basis is $95,400, the active investor average is $87,300, the realized price is $80,500, and the network-wide average cost basis is $55,900. The ahr999 indicator, which recently fell below 0.45 for the first time since October 2023, suggests a buying opportunity below $76,000. Analyst Willy Woo’s CVDD model points to a hard bottom near $45,000, while the cost basis of large holder “Strategy” ($76,040) is seen as a critical support level. Overall, data suggests a potential bottom formation between $45,000–$76,000.

Original Title: 5 Major Data Indicators Revealed: Is There a BTC Buying Signal Below $75,000?


Wintermute stated last week that $85,000 is a key level for BTC and that a direction would be chosen soon. Unfortunately, the direction was not upward but sharply downward.

On February 2, BTC fell to $75,700, and ETH dropped to $2,220. Numerous altcoins continued to decline. Regarding liquidation data, Coinglass data shows that $435 million was liquidated in the past 12 hours, with long positions accounting for $324 million.

The market fear index is 15, indicating that market sentiment has once again fallen into extreme panic.

After the market turned bearish, where is BTC's bottom range? Five major data indicators reveal the answer.

Data Survey: 30% of Users Believe BTC's Bottom Range Is Between $60,000 and $75,000

On January 30, Foresight News conducted an investor market confidence survey. At the time of the survey, BTC was priced at $84,000. It has since fallen significantly over the following days, so the survey results are for reference only.

The poll (with 1,189 participants) showed that most respondents (45.6%) believe BTC's bottom price in 2026 will be between $75,000 and $85,000. Another 30.2% of respondents believe the bottom price will be between $60,000 and $75,000.

44% of respondents believe 2026 will be a bear market, while 35.3% disagree and do not think it will be a bear market. Another 20.6% of respondents are uncertain.

Nearly half of the respondents (47.2%) choose to dollar-cost average and hold Bitcoin long-term. Another 25% of respondents choose to liquidate their positions and switch to stablecoin investments or wait and see. 17.5% of respondents are looking for altcoins for value investing.

Currently, among the voting respondents, 31% say they have mostly cleared their positions but are still looking for opportunities to buy the dip. 29% say they haven't sold their holdings from the last cycle but are not adding positions for now and are looking for opportunities to reduce them. 21% say they haven't sold their holdings from the last cycle and have already started adding positions.

Glassnode Shows BTC's On-Chain Cost Basis Is $55,900

As Bitcoin falls below $78,000, Glassnode has updated the key on-chain price distribution as follows: The STH (Short-Term Holder) cost basis, reflecting the average holding price of new buyers/traders who entered the market in recent months, is $95,400.

The average investment of active investors, representing the average holding cost of traders currently "on the field," is $87,300; the Realized Price, focusing on the cost basis of actual traders in the secondary market, is $80,500. The Coin Price, representing the average cost basis of all coins across the entire network, is $55,900.

This means that when the BTC price is below $80,500, your purchase price is lower than the cost price of other recent traders. If BTC falls below $55,900, it means your purchase price is already below the average cost of the entire network.

In the 2022 cycle, the BTC price once fell below the entire network's average cost basis. In this cycle, influenced by macro liquidity, spot ETFs, and other factors, whether BTC will fall below $55,900 remains unknown.

Ahr999 Indicator Shows Accumulation Signal

The ahr999 indicator was invented years ago by Weibo user ahr999 to evaluate BTC's short-term returns and price deviations. The calculation formula is (Current Price / 200-day Dollar-Cost Average) × (Current Price / Exponential Growth Valuation), where the exponential growth valuation is based on a fitting curve of historical prices and block height, representing the long-term "fair value." Historical experience shows: ahr999 < 0.45 is the low-price buying zone; 0.45-1.2 is suitable for dollar-cost averaging; >1.2 is the high-price zone.

On February 1, 2026, ahr999 fell below 0.45 for the first time, the first occurrence in 839 days since October 16, 2023, marking a potential market bottom. The current break below the threshold suggests the BTC price is significantly below long-term growth expectations, similar to the end of the 2023 bear market. This signal strongly suggests buying the dip, but it needs to be confirmed with trading volume to avoid false breakouts. Buying strategy: If ahr999 stabilizes below 0.45, consider buying in batches below $76,000, and reduce positions when it rebounds above 1.2.

Willy Woo Indicator Shows BTC's Hard Bottom Is $45,000

The indicator developed by renowned analyst Willy Woo is the CVDD model. "When Bitcoin transfers from an old investor who bought at $1 to a new investor who buys at $100,000, the new investor will value these Bitcoins with a higher floor price, which helps raise the perceived floor price of the entire Bitcoin supply globally. Active custodian rotation (i.e., frequent transfers of Bitcoin between different investors or custodians) may also indicate that investors value these Bitcoins highly."

When many whales transfer BTC to new Bitcoin wallet addresses, the market's bottom price is rising.

The BTC price has never fallen to the red line (CVDD model). Currently, the CVDD indicator shows a hard bottom of approximately $45,000. In past cycles, BTC once fell below the yellow line in the chart, which currently ranges from $53,000 to $56,000.

Strategy's Bitcoin Cost Price Is $76,040

As of February 2, the well-known Bitcoin accumulation大户 (large holder) Strategy holds a total value of approximately $54.2 billion, with 712,647 BTC. Their average holding cost is about $76,040.

Historically, the area below this average cost has been the bottom range. Placeholder partner Chris previously stated that the $74,000 to $76,000 range is a price line worth paying close attention to.

20 Billion Valuation, Alibaba and Tencent Competing to Invest, Whose Money Will Liang Wenfeng Take?

DeepSeek, an AI startup founded by Liang Wenfeng, is reportedly in talks with Alibaba and Tencent for an external funding round that could value the company at over $20 billion. This marks a significant shift, as DeepSeek had previously relied solely on funding from its parent company,幻方量化 (Huanfang Quantitative), and had resisted external investment. The potential valuation would place DeepSeek among the top-tier AI model companies in China, comparable to competitors like MoonDark (valued at ~$18 billion) and ahead of recently listed firms like MiniMax and Zhipu. The funding—which could range from $600 million (for a 3% stake) to $2 billion (for 10%)—is seen as a move to secure resources for model development, retain talent, and support infrastructure needs, particularly as competition in inference models and AI agents intensifies. Both Alibaba and Tencent are eager to invest, not only for financial returns but also to integrate DeepSeek into their broader AI ecosystems. However, DeepSeek’s leadership is cautious about maintaining independence and may prefer financial investors over strategic ones to avoid being locked into a specific tech ecosystem. Alternative options, such as state-backed funds, offer longer-term capital and policy support but may come with slower decision-making and potential constraints on global expansion. With competing AI firms accelerating their IPO plans, DeepSeek’s window for securing optimal terms may be narrowing. The final decision will reflect a trade-off between capital, resources, and strategic independence.

After Losing 97% of Its Market Value, iQiyi Attempts to Use AI to Forcefully Extend Its Lifespan

After losing 97% of its market value since its 2018 peak, iQiyi is aggressively pivoting to AI in a desperate attempt to survive. At its 2026 World Conference, CEO Gong Yu announced an "AI Artist Library" with over 100 virtual performers and a new AIGC platform, "NaDou Pro," promising faster production and lower costs. This shift comes as the company faces severe financial distress: its market cap sits near delisting thresholds at $1.36 billion, with significant losses, declining membership revenue, and depleted cash flow. The AI strategy has sparked controversy. Top actors have issued legal threats against unauthorized digital replicas, while in Hengdian, over 134,000 background actors are seeing their already scarce job opportunities vanish as AI replaces them for background roles. iQiyi's move represents a fundamental shift from being a high-cost content buyer to a landlord" to becoming a "platform capitalist" that transfers production risk to creators. This contrasts with competitors like Douyin (TikTok's Chinese counterpart), which is investing heavily in *real* actor-led short dramas, betting that authentic human connection retains users better than AI-generated content. The article draws a parallel to the 1920s transition to "talkies," which made cinema musicians obsolete but ultimately enriched the art form. In contrast, iQiyi's AI drive is framed not as an artistic evolution but as a cost-cutting measure that could degrade storytelling, replacing genuine human emotion with algorithmically calculated stimulation and potentially numbing audiences' capacity for empathy. The core question remains: can a company focused solely on financial survival preserve the art of storytelling?

Only a 50% Chance of Passing This Year, Can the CLARITY Bill Succeed Before the Midterm Elections?

The CLARITY Act, which passed the House in July 2025 with strong bipartisan support (294-134), faces a critical juncture in the Senate. The Senate Banking Committee is expected to hold a markup soon, but key issues remain unresolved, including stablecoin yield provisions, DeFi regulations, and securing full Republican committee support. Other contentious points involve the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), ethics amendments for government officials, and SEC-related matters. The legislative calendar is tight, with limited time before the midterm elections. If the committee markup is delayed beyond mid-May, the chances of passage in 2026 drop significantly. Senator Cynthia Lummis has warned that failure this year could delay comprehensive crypto market structure legislation until 2030 or later. Galaxy estimates the probability of the CLARITY Act becoming law in 2026 is only about 50%. The bill provides crucial regulatory clarity by defining jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, establishing a path for decentralization, and bringing digital commodity intermediaries under federal regulation. Its passage is seen as vital before potential power shifts in the next Congress, which could bring less favorable leadership to key committees. The timeline is compressed, and the bill must compete for floor time with other priorities like Iran authorization and DHS appropriations. Key hurdles include finalizing the stablecoin yield compromise text, addressing law enforcement concerns about BRCA, and navigating political dynamics around SEC nominations. The outcome of the Banking Committee markup and the level of bipartisan support will be critical indicators of its future success.
