Bitcoin (BTC) Spot ETFs: IBIT Hits $10B Record Volume Amid Selloff, Dip Buying Signals Sticky Holders
According to @Andre_Dragosch, despite a record trading volume day in spot Bitcoin ETFs, the session still posted net outflows that imply substantial dip buying and relatively sticky investor behavior during historic drawdowns (source: @Andre_Dragosch). He noted that larger single-day outflows occurred in February, June, August, and November of last year, as well as January 2026, indicating the latest outflows were not among the most extreme (source: @Andre_Dragosch). Citing @EricBalchunas, IBIT set a new daily volume record of about $10 billion while its price fell roughly 13%, the second-worst daily drop since launch (source: @EricBalchunas). Trading takeaway: sticky ETF holder behavior alongside heavy volume reinforces the value of monitoring spot Bitcoin ETF volumes and net flows as intraday signals for BTC direction (source: @Andre_Dragosch; @EricBalchunas).

Bitcoin Sentiment Analysis: Crowd Behavior During BTC (Bitcoin) Price Fluctuations
According to Santiment, Bitcoin's recent price movement from $60K to $65.5K has sparked speculation about whether this is a 'dead cat bounce' or the beginning of a recovery. Crowd sentiment plays a crucial role in such scenarios. Historically, spikes in bearish sentiment, characterized by frequent mentions of 'lower' or 'below', often precede price rebounds, as observed currently. Conversely, spikes in bullish sentiment, marked by mentions of 'higher' or 'above', can signal an impending price drop. Traders should closely monitor these sentiment indicators for potential market moves. (Source) More from Santiment 02-06-2026 05:38 |

Crypto Bear Market Update: 122-Day Duration, 49.6% Drawdown, New Cycle Bottom Probability Model Signals 'Close But Not There'
According to @Andre_Dragosch, the current crypto bear market has lasted 122 days (98th percentile) with a 49.6% drawdown, based on his latest dataset (source: @Andre_Dragosch on X). He notes many indicators are comparable to prior bear market bottoms and that there is significant 'duration pain,' but aggregate profit and loss metrics have not fully capitulated, so he believes the final cycle bottom has not yet occurred (source: @Andre_Dragosch on X). He introduced a new cycle bottom probability model to reduce guesswork in timing the low; it has only ticked up slightly and will be updated regularly, indicating the market may be very close but not fully there yet (source: @Andre_Dragosch on X).
