Market Dynamics: Global Shifts & XLM’s 2026 Strategic Consolidation
February 23, 2026 — Global financial markets are navigating a volatile Monday marked by historic shifts. Following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling on trade tariffs, gold has surged to a record $5,100, reflecting a massive "flight to safety" as a 15% import levy looms. While a catastrophic blizzard has brought New York City to a functional standstill, the digital asset market remains resilient, with the Stellar network capturing significant institutional focus.
Stellar (XLM) Analysis & Predictions
Stellar (XLM) is currently trading within a critical stabilization zone between $0.16 and $0.17. Despite a month of persistent selling pressure, the market narrative is pivoting from speculative retail interest toward long-term institutional utility. A primary catalyst for this transition is the CME Group’s recent launch of regulated XLM futures, providing the sophisticated hedging tools required for large-scale capital allocators to enter the ecosystem.
Key Predictions for 2026:
 The Bull Case: Should XLM successfully flip the $0.20 resistance level in March, analysts project a definitive climb toward the $0.33–$0.35 range. Long-term targets sit at $0.57, bolstered by the rapid expansion of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization and successful CBDC pilot integrations.
 The Bear Case: Conversely, a failure to maintain the $0.14 support level could trigger a deeper retest of the $0.10 psychological floor, potentially stalling institutional momentum.

Crypto market sentiment reaching a year-low could be one of the few signs of a potential rebound, according to crypto analytics platform Santiment.

“This sentiment data is currently one of the few strong bullish signals available,” Santiment said in a report on Friday. “A silver lining is the extreme negativity on social media. The ratio of bearish to bullish comments is heavily skewed toward fear,” Santiment said.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, posted an “Extreme Fear” score of 20 on Saturday, indicating that investors are cautious about the crypto market. On Friday, the index recorded an “Extreme Fear” score of 16, the lowest in 2026 and the first time it had reached that level since Dec. 19.

Ethereum at a Crossroads: Trendline Tests Meet Corrective Bounce

Ethereum’s higher time frame charts now show two competing reads of the same move. One view tracks repeat rebounds from long term support, while another says the latest bounce still lacks structural confirmation.

Ethereum weekly chart maps past 200% rebounds from trendline as price retests long-term support

Donald Dean said Ethereum’s recent structure fits a broader “bottoming process,” noting that prior runs lifted more than 200% from a rising trendline. His post points to two past advance phases on the weekly ETHUSD chart, each measured from a long-term ascending support line to the cycle highs. In both cases, price respected that trendline before launching higher, which frames the current pullback as another test of the same structural level.

On the weekly chart, Ethereum has again revisited the rising trendline after rolling over from the latest cycle peak. The chart also marks a horizontal support band around the $2,000 area, where price previously paused and rebounded. Because that zone aligns with the trendline touch, it forms a confluence area that has mattered during prior resets within the broader uptrend.

The volume profile on the right highlights nearby shelves beneath current price, which show where trading previously concentrated. Those shelves often act as reaction zones when price trades into them. Therefore, the setup centers on whether Ethereum stabilizes around the trendline and nearby support band, similar to prior cycles, or whether price pushes through that area and shifts the longer-term structure.

真正的目標在於ECDSA。遷移噩夢：科技億萬富翁和加密貨幣愛好者目前正質疑在量子混亂中比特幣網路的長期安全性。然而，據前Mt. Gox執行長馬克·卡佩萊斯(Mark Karpelès)稱，比特幣面臨的真正威脅是讓所有用戶升級的後勤噩夢。在最近一次X（前身為Twitter）的交流中，卡佩萊斯警告說，成功地將所有比特幣供應遷移到抗量子標準需要數年時間。熱門新聞：XRP創下2022年以來最大的鏈上已實現虧損飆升；Ripple與德意志銀行合作；巨鯨購入價值20億美元的比特幣；施瓦茨批評洛根·保羅；柴犬價格進入盤整——每週加密貨幣新聞精選。最終，100%的完全升級幾乎是不可能的。根據U.Todya報導，特斯拉和SpaceX執行長馬斯克最近讓他的人工智慧聊天機器人Grok估算比特幣SHA-256哈希演算法在2035年之前被量子電腦破解的機率。 Grok估計風險低於10%，並得出結論：比特幣「目前」是安全的。然而，Karpelès很快指出，馬斯克和他的AI關注的重點在比特幣代碼的錯誤部分。 SHA-256（用於挖礦）具有很強的抗量子攻擊能力，但用於授權交易的數位簽章並非如此。廣告 您可能也喜歡 2026年2月21日，星期六 - 12:23 Bitfinex：量子計算並非對比特幣的迫在眉睫的威脅 作者：Godfrey Benjamin “埃隆的說法並不明智，因為比特幣中易受量子計算攻擊的部分是ECDSA（sekp256k1），而不是SHA-256，”Karpelèsès。如果運行Shor演算法的容錯量子電腦達到足夠大的規模，理論上它可以從用戶暴露的公鑰推導出其私鑰。這將使攻擊者能夠偽造簽名並竊取資金。遷移噩夢 比特幣開發者理論上可以透過軟分叉將新的後量子簽名方案引入網絡，但部署程式碼只是成功的一半。 「比特幣不僅需要升級其加密技術，還需要讓所有用戶透過將他們的比特幣轉移到新的量子安全地址來使用當前的加密技術，」Karpelès解釋道。 「這本身可能需要數年時間，即便如此也永遠無法完成。」早期比特幣地址的脆弱性尤其突出，因為它們的公鑰是按設計直接暴露在區塊鏈上的。這些遺失或休眠的比特幣的持有者無法手動將其轉移到量子安全地址，因此它們將完全暴露在外。 「在某個時候，未動用的比特幣必須被鎖定。鎖定所有早期的P2PK比特幣可能很有用，因為它們更容易被盜。關鍵是，這不會是一個容易的遷移過程，」卡佩萊斯警告。在協議層面鎖定或「銷毀」這些比特幣可以有效地銷毀它們，以防止量子竊賊進行大規模的市場拋售。然而，這樣做從根本上違反了比特幣不可篡改性和絕對所有權的核心原則。然而，卡佩萊斯表示，網路最終將被迫做出選擇。 「一開始不會鎖定，但考慮到不可能轉移100%的代幣（尤其是中本聰代幣），唯一的選擇要么是允許攻擊者獲取所有權，要么是鎖定。這不是會不會發生的問題，而是何時發生的問題。”

The company has reduced its workforce by up to 25 percent, scaled back international operations by exiting the United Kingdom, European Union, and Australia, and seen its stock fall approximately 80 percent from its peak valuation. In response to shifting market conditions, Gemini is now pivoting toward prediction markets as part of a broader strategic realignment. The developments were first highlighted by the X account Coin Bureau and later cited by the Hokanews editorial team, drawing renewed attention to how major crypto firms are adapting to prolonged market volatility.

根据 CoinShares 的数据，机构投资者在一周内抛售了价值 17.3 亿美元的比特币和加密资产。这是自 2025 年 11 月中旬以来最大的资金流出。比特币以 10.9 亿美元的流出量领跑，其次是以太坊，损失了 6.3 亿美元，而以太坊则出现了资金流入。BNB（460 万美元）和 Chainlink（380 万美元）小幅上涨。比特币的空头头寸仅吸引了 50 万美元的资金流入。从地区来看，美国以近 18 亿美元的资金流出量领跑。瑞典和荷兰分别损失了 1110 万美元和 440 万美元。与整体趋势相反，瑞士增加了 3250 万美元，加拿大增加了 3350 万美元，德国增加了 1910 万美元。CoinShares 认为，这些资金流出是由市场低迷、降息预期减弱以及价格走势疲软所驱动的。图片：Shutterstock/Frame Stock Footage/CHIARI VFX
