Bitcoin’s correction intensified as leverage reset and Open Interest declined sharply. More than $5 billion was liquidated in four days, with price sliding to about $77,700 and weekly liquidations near $1.6 billion; a rebound toward $80,000 could trigger around $1 billion in short liquidations.

On February 2, 2026, Hyperliquid introduced HIP-4, outlining outcome trading on HyperCore with fully collateralized, fixed-range contracts designed for prediction markets without leverage or liquidations.

Bitcoin ended Sunday's weekly session at $76,931, closing below its 100‑week simple moving average near $87,500. Drawing on prior cycles, analysts note such breaks have historically lasted 182 to 532 days, while heavy spot volume between $85,000 and $95,000 and a jump in USDT dominance suggest resistance could delay a move toward $100,000 for six months or more.

Based on hourly BTC/USD data from Kraken, Bitcoin slid below $78,000 to a $74,543 low and is now attempting to rebuild above $77,000–$78,000. The price remains under $80,000 and the 100‑hour simple moving average, with immediate resistance at $79,200 and $80,000. Failure to clear $79,200 could refocus support at $78,000 and $77,000.

Ripple's XRP recently fell below the key $1.77 swing low, putting the April 2025 trough at $1.61 at risk. Technical signals on the H4 chart point to a potential bounce toward the $1.85-$1.94 band as a short-selling zone, with downside targets at $1.50 and $1.39. A sustained move above $1.94-$2.0 would be needed to hint at a bullish recovery.

In early 2026, Perplexity's AI model was prompted to generate long-term price paths for XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, linking its outlook to U.S. regulation, ETF flows, and post-halving supply dynamics. The system suggests XRP could climb toward $8 by late 2026, Bitcoin may have room to approach the $200,000–$250,000 range by 2027, and Ethereum might advance above $7,500 if key resistance levels are broken. These projections are framed within a continued bull market scenario and highlight technical signals such as XRP's Relative Strength Index and Ethereum's major resistance around $5,000.
