ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts' data shows that the market reshuffle on February 7 resulted in 24% of the top 200 tokens hitting a new 365-day low, the highest level since August 5, 2024 (28%).IntoTheBlock analyst Juan Pellicer stated that the recent market adjustment has led to a significant amount of liquidations (especially in Solana), with the total market capitalization of the crypto market dropping to $3.13 trillion. This indicates that excessive leveraged positions are being cleared, and the market may be experiencing a capitulation. Considering the impact of tariffs and AI valuations (influenced by DeepSeek), the bull market may still continue, and the current adjustment could be a correction for certain tokens rather than a broader downtrend.Brickken CEO Edwin Mata further pointed out that the meme coin craze is disrupting the allocation of market liquidity. Meme coins promoted by celebrities are causing a distortion in the flow of funds, pulling liquidity away from more mature projects. This trend increases market volatility, making traditional market recovery patterns harder to predict.

ChainCatcher news suggests that Bitcoin miners may be indicating a direction for a long-term rebound in BTC prices. Data shows that Bitcoin is exhibiting typical local bottom signals as miners are entering a new "surrender" phase. Analysis points out that the Bitcoin hash ribbon indicator is experiencing a triggering reversal.The hash ribbon is a well-known leading indicator often used to predict BTC price reversals at local lows. When the 30-day hash rate moving average (MA) falls below the 60-day MA, it indicates that miners are experiencing "surrender"—"when the cost of Bitcoin mining is relatively too high, miners are forced to shut down their machines." This situation is relatively rare and often occurs before a long-term rise in BTC prices.The last miner surrender period occurred in mid-October 2024, after which BTC prices broke through the historical high of $73,800 and soared to $108,000 in just two months.

ChainCatcher news, CoinDesk senior analyst James Van Straten stated that Bitcoin mining difficulty reached a historic high of 114.7 T after the weekend adjustment, an increase of 5.61% from the last difficulty adjustment.This change coincides with the timing of the Hash Ribbon indicator signaling miner capitulation. The Hash Ribbon is a market indicator that typically forms when miners capitulate—when mining costs exceed profits, suggesting that Bitcoin may be nearing a local bottom.According to data from Glassnode, miner capitulation began in early February. Bitcoin has dropped over 4% so far this month. Historically, when this indicator signals capitulation, it usually marks a local price bottom.If this pattern holds, the bottom for Bitcoin could be around $91,000. The last capitulation signal appeared in October 2024, after which Bitcoin surged by 50%.As mining difficulty increases, mining becomes more competitive, putting additional pressure on miners. January's production data reflects this, with Riot Platforms being the only major publicly listed miner reporting a month-over-month increase in output.
