Crypto sentiment at lowest point since 2022 crash as Bitcoin tanks to $60K

Crypto market sentiment sunk to its lowest level since the 2022 Terra collapse, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index falling to a reading classified extreme fear, as Bitcoin slid to around $60,000. BTC is down roughly 38% over the past three weeks, briefly dipping below the 200-week exponential moving average and triggering widespread forced selling. About 588,000 traders were liquidated for a combined $2.7 billion, mostly from leveraged long positions. Analysts linked the move to broader risk-off conditions, including a selloff in tech stocks, softer US jobs signals and growing doubts over Bitcoin's role as a safe haven compared with gold.

Metaplanet vows to keep buying Bitcoin as sentiment craters

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said that the company will continue its Bitcoin accumulation strategy despite a steep market downturn that has battered both crypto prices and Metaplanet's shares. Bitcoin has fallen roughly 50% from its 2025 peak and large liquidations have hit leveraged traders. Even so, Metaplanet — now one of the top public Bitcoin treasury companies — has not indicated plans to sell, echoing other major corporate holders like Strategy despite mounting paper losses across crypto treasuries.

Gemini announces exit from UK, EU, Australia, slashes workforce

Gemini said it will exit the UK, EU, and Australia and cut its workforce by 25% as it shifts resources toward the US, citing weaker demand in those regions, a tougher business environment and AI-driven automation boosting productivity. The exchange plans to prioritize building its US business and expanding its prediction market platform launched in December 2025, which has surpassed 10,000 users and $24 million in trading volume. The move comes amid a broader crypto market downturn and growing competition in prediction markets led by Polymarket and Kalshi.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Will Bitcoin rebound to $90K by March? Here's what BTC options say

Bitcoin dropped below $63,000, its lowest level since November 2024, after weak US job data, a slipping stock market and worries about an AI investment bubble increased risk aversion. The move extends a roughly 30% pullback from its failed late-January push above $90,500, leaving traders doubtful about a quick return to strong bullish momentum.

Bitcoin options pricing on Deribit implies only about a 6% chance BTC reaches $90,000 by late March, while a $50,000 downside scenario is priced at roughly a 20% probability. Sentiment is also pressured by concerns ranging from quantum-computing security risks to potential forced selling by debt-funded corporate Bitcoin holders.
