🔊Weekly Market Highlights #136: February 3 - February 9

✨This week, the cryptocurrency market experienced volatility, primarily influenced by geopolitical tensions from new U.S. tariffs.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization decreased by ~$70B (from ~$3221B to ~$3151B).

✨BTC Back to $97K
✅The past weekend was tough for BTC as President Trump’s tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico triggered a market-wide sell-off. BTC plunged from $106K on Friday to $97K by Sunday.

✅The correction deepened on Monday as BTC fell below $92K, but the bulls stepped in, preventing a drop under $90K. BTC then surged back to $102K, losing momentum and retreating below $100K.

✅A second attempt to reclaim six figures on Friday failed, pushing BTC to $96K before recovering to $97K.

✨Featured News
✅The crypto market may have just experienced its largest liquidation event in history, according to Bybit CEO Ben Zhou. Over $2.3 billion in crypto assets were liquidated within 24 hours following President Trump’s tariff announcement, triggering a massive sell-off. Zhou estimates the real liquidation figure could be $8-10 billion, as API limitations may have underreported data. This event surpasses past collapses like FTX and LUNA.
