February 13 News, Cardano (ADA) is currently in a critical price range, with support and resistance levels nearly overlapping with the current price, making short-term trends uncertain. Despite founder Charles Hoskinson recently announcing multiple ecosystem developments, market sentiment remains cautious, and price reactions are relatively muted.
Hoskinson revealed that Cardano is about to complete integration with LayerZero and plans to launch USDCx this month, as well as initiate the Midnight privacy sidechain mainnet before the end of March. These updates are theoretically beneficial for increasing network activity and attracting developers, but in the context of overall weak momentum in the crypto market, ADA has failed to sustain a rebound.
In terms of price, ADA dropped to $0.2205 on February 6, hitting a nearly three-year low. A technical rebound followed, and it is currently fluctuating around $0.261, but still constrained by a key zone at $0.275. Over the past few days, the price has remained in a narrow range, indicating ongoing battles between bulls and bears.
From a technical perspective, resistance is concentrated around $0.268, $0.276, and $0.284; if buying momentum weakens, the price may retest $0.243, or even fall back toward the $0.220 area. This zone is seen as the current core defense line; once broken, the market may reassess lower valuations.
On the macro front, there is also pressure. Bitcoin has yet to reach major support levels. Analyst Peter Brandt suggests it could drop to $42,000, while Geoff Kendrick mentions a higher probability of further decline around $50,000. If Bitcoin continues to weaken, it typically amplifies altcoin declines, and ADA will likely not be immune.
In this environment, short-term rebounds are more about liquidity recovery than trend reversals. Investors should pay close attention to the performance between $0.220 and $0.216, as this zone may determine Cardano’s next direction.

Bitcoin drops below $63,000, triggering extreme panic; key support levels face testing
February 24 News, Bitcoin continues to be under pressure amid market "extreme panic" sentiment, with the price once dropping to around $62,700. It then rebounded slightly above $63,000, with a 24-hour decline of over 3%. The overall crypto market also weakened, with the total market capitalization of digital assets falling back to approximately $2.25 trillion. Meanwhile, mainstream assets such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana have all experienced varying degrees of correction, indicating a significant cooling of risk appetite.
Presto Research analyst Min Jung pointed out that this recent drop below $63,000 for Bitcoin reflects more of a deterioration in market sentiment rather than a single fundamental change. Macroeconomic uncertainties regarding tariffs and rising geopolitical risks have led funds to shift toward safe-haven assets, weakening short-term demand elasticity for crypto assets. The Fear and Greed Index has fallen to 5, in the extreme pessimistic range in history, indicating that market sentiment is approaching a temporary bottom.

Is the Bitcoin price discovery power shifting to CME? Institutional funds reshaping BTC pricing logic and global macro linkage
February 24 News, the Bitcoin price discovery mechanism is undergoing structural changes, with trading focus gradually shifting towards regulated derivative markets such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME Group). As institutional participation continues to rise, Bitcoin prices are no longer solely driven by on-chain transactions and retail sentiment, but are increasingly influenced by open interest in futures contracts, institutional hedging needs, and macro risk appetite. Currently, Bitcoin is fluctuating around $63,000, indicating that the market remains in an institutional-led range-bound phase.
Industry expert Karl Naim pointed out that traditional hedge funds and asset management firms prefer to allocate Bitcoin exposure through familiar compliant derivative instruments rather than relying on offshore markets with higher counterparty risk. The advancement of 24/7 derivative trading mechanisms is weakening the historical advantage of the crypto-native market’s “7×24 hours liquidity,” enabling institutions to continuously hedge risks and adjust positions, thereby compressing arbitrage opportunities between futures and perpetual contracts.
