PANews reported on February 4th, citing Cointelegraph, that despite Bitcoin's price rebounding above $76,000, multiple indicators suggest its downtrend may not be over. Technical analysis shows the BTC/USD weekly chart has confirmed a head and shoulders pattern. After breaking below the $82,000 neckline support, its theoretical downside target is around $52,650. Furthermore, a bearish flag pattern has been confirmed on the daily chart, with analysts pointing to the next key liquidity target around $65,500. Analyst BitcoinHabebe believes that given the macroeconomic headwinds, a drop to $60,000 for Bitcoin is "obvious."

On-chain metrics also point to weakness. The Puell Multiple indicator, which tracks miner revenue, has entered the "discount zone" and may remain there, which analysts point out typically signifies a continuation of the bearish trend. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's network hashrate has fallen 12% from its November 2025 high, the largest drop since 2021, suggesting a possible miner capitulation. Furthermore, on-chain data shows a large influx of BTC into the Binance exchange, with a cumulative inflow of 56,000 to 59,000 BTC on February 4th and 5th. This could create actual selling pressure in the spot market, indicating that the market may be entering a panic selling phase.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
