Espresso (ESP) surged more than 123% over the last 24 hours, hitting a record high of $0.219 as simultaneous listing announcements from South Korea’s top exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, triggered an explosive wave of accumulation.

While technical indicators point toward a potential retest of its all-time high, the token’s performance stands in stark contrast to a broader market Extreme Fear phase, with traders eyeing the $0.035 resistance level and a sustained breakout into the $0.040 range.

The administrator handling Terraform Labs’ wind-down has filed a lawsuit against Jane Street alleging use of non-public information ahead of TerraUSD’s May 2022 collapse, putting Terra Classic (LUNC) under renewed scrutiny. LUNC trades near $0.00003509 after a $0.0000343–$0.00003516 24-hour range, with analysts watching a potential push toward $0.00003925 and 2026 projections between $0.0000242 and $0.000510.

Jane Street significantly raised its IBIT and MSTR shareholdings in Q4 and February 2026, including a 53.78% jump to 20.3M IBIT shares valued at $1B.

Bitcoin slid to intraday lows of $62,700 on Tuesday as its price retreated to around $62,800, extending the monthly loss to nearly 29%.

Ethereum (ETH) crashed to a 20-day low of $1,832, breaking below a critical symmetrical triangle as co-founder Vitalik Buterin offloads over 10,700 ETH in February 2026. With the Ethereum Foundation entering a mild austerity phase and exchange inflows hitting multi-month highs, discover if the $1,800 floor will hold or if a slide to $1,500 is inevitable.

Chainlink's price is trading below key short- and medium-term moving averages, with sellers currently holding the advantage as the market compresses toward the $7.92 support level. If this area breaks, the price could slide toward lower liquidity near $7, $5 and $4.9, while a reclaim of $9.09 might reopen upside targets around $11.98 and $12.39.
