Downside targets across majors have been fulfilled, and price is attempting to hold key support zones. Short-term exhaustion is visible, but the broader structure remains fragile. The next move will likely define whether we see a relief phase or renewed pressure. Let's dive in...

Quick bridge from earlier this week…

Earlier this week, we carried a neutral-bearish stance across the majors and a bearish stance on Hyperliquid. The framework was clear, relief rallies had exhausted and we were looking for downside continuation into mapped liquidity zones. That scenario played out well. Bitcoin tapped $65,650 as projected, Ethereum delivered the move into 1,957, and Solana largely held and consolidated around the $80.89 region with only minor deviations below it.

Hyperliquid also played along well. The first downside target at $28.39 was tapped, validating the bearish structure we outlined. From there, price has attempted a short-term rebound, but structurally the chart remains weaker compared to where it was prior.

So overall, the levels were respected and the neutral-bearish thesis largely delivered its first objectives. The key development now is reaction, price is holding at support and not accelerating lower immediately from what we can see. From here, we assess whether the market builds a base for another relief rally, or whether this consolidation resolves into fresh downside continuation.

TLDR

  • Bitcoin: Relief bounce attempt underway from $65.6K support after downside targets were met, higher timeframe structure still fragile, with $72.5K as the key short-term relief target before reassessing continuation risk.
  • Ethereum: Holding $1,957 support after stalling at $2,116, neutral-bullish short term for a bounce, but structure remains capped on the higher timeframes.
  • Solana: Still range-bound and relatively weaker versus majors, needs acceptance above $89 to open $97+, otherwise downside risk toward prior lows remains in play.
  • Hyperliquid: Bearish bias intact after rejection at $30.64, $28.39 is immediate support, and a break below would expose $25.4 while rallies remain corrective.
  • Aura: Structure largely unchanged with bullish divergence still intact, consolidation continues, awaiting broader market strength for confirmation of any meaningful reversal.

Bitcoin

TA

Bitcoin has now reacted from the $65,650 support area, which was one of the key downside levels we had outlined earlier. After completing the relief rally toward prior targets and rolling over, price has returned to this level and is attempting to form a short-term base. Importantly, BTC is still holding above the reclaimed breakout trendline, which keeps the possibility of a short-term bounce on the table.

The immediate resistance sits around $68,600, which also aligns closely with the weekly 200 EMA. A clean push above that opens room toward $72,500 as the next relief target. However, unless we see sustained acceptance above these levels, upside moves should still be treated as relief within a broader corrective structure.

On the downside, $65,650 remains the key support. A loss of this level reopens $57,300 as the next major downside target. Structurally, that is the level that would come into play if this short-term basing attempt fails.

Another important development is the potential formation of a broader weekly range. The 2nd February 2026 weekly candle (High: $79,300, Low: $59,800) may act as a range-defining candle similar to what we saw in November last year (17th Nov 2025 Weekly candle), where price consolidated for weeks inside a single large weekly candle. A decisive body close above or below this range, or a clear liquidity wick followed by rejection would provide stronger higher-timeframe direction.

The 200 EMA continues to slope downward near $94,500, signaling ongoing macro pressure. RSI remains weak but off the extreme lows, currently around 31 with an average near 27, suggesting room for a short-term bounce but not confirming a structural reversal.

Chart: Bitcoin – Support Test and Range

Key Levels:

  • Support: $65,650
  • Resistance: $68,600
  • Direction: Neutral-Bullish
  • Upside Target: $72,500
  • Downside Target: $57,300

Cryptonary’s Take:

With $65,650 holding and price stabilizing above the reclaimed trendline, the short-term bias remains neutral-bullish. A push through $68,600 would likely extend the relief move toward $72,500, and that is the primary path we are monitoring right now.

That said, this is still a relief phase within a broader corrective structure. Unless Bitcoin starts reclaiming higher structural levels with strong body closes and follow-through, upside should be treated as controlled continuation and not a confirmed macro reversal.


Ethereum

TA

Ethereum reacted precisely from the $2,116 resistance level we had mapped out and rolled over into the first downside target at $1,957. That level has now been tapped, and price has been attempting to form a short-term base around this support for the past few sessions.

The fact that $1,957 is holding for now suggests short-term stability, especially if Bitcoin continues attempting a bounce from its own support.

As long as $1,957 holds on a daily closing basis, a relief push back toward $2,116 remains on the table. That level now acts as the key pivot resistance. A reclaim and daily acceptance above it would open room toward $2,360-$2,370, but that is not the base case yet.

On the downside, a loss of $1,957 would shift focus immediately toward $1,752, which remains the next major support zone and broader downside objective if weakness resumes.

The 200 EMA on the daily timeframe continues to slope downward near $3,133, reflecting ongoing macro pressure. RSI remains in the weaker range around 29, with an average near 27, showing oversold conditions that still allow room for short-term relief continuation.

Chart: Ethereum – Support and Resistance Levels

Key Levels:

  • Support: $1,957
  • Resistance: $2,116
  • Direction: Neutral-Bullish
  • Upside Target: $2,360
  • Downside Target: $1,752

Cryptonary’s Take:

Ethereum is holding its first major downside level at $1,957, keeping a short-term neutral-bullish relief scenario alive. A move toward $2,116 is reasonable while this support remains intact.

However, this remains a relief phase within a broader corrective structure. Unless Ethereum reclaims and closes decisively above higher timeframe resistance areas with follow-through, upside should be treated as temporary, with $1,752 still open if support fails.


Solana

TA

Solana continues to range, showing limited structural progress on either side. Price briefly slipped below the $80.89 level but has largely held around that region, with support emerging near the 6th February candle open around $78. The actual swing low from that session remains $67.7, which defines the current local bottom.

Despite short-term stability, Solana is comparatively weaker than Bitcoin and Ethereum. Even if majors attempt relief rallies, Solana appears more likely to remain range-bound.

The immediate working range is now $78 on the downside and $89 on the upside.

A clean break above $89 would open room toward $97.7 as the next upside target. Conversely, a loss of $78 increases the probability of revisiting $67.7, the recent swing low.

The 200 EMA on the daily timeframe continues to slope downward near $146.8, reinforcing broader structural pressure. RSI remains in oversold territory around 27 with average around 28, indicating bounce potential, but momentum has not yet translated into structural strength.

Chart: Solana – Range and Support

Solana technical analysis chart for range

Key Levels:

  • Support: $78
  • Resistance: $89
  • Direction: Neutral
  • Upside Target: $97.7
  • Downside Target: $67.7

Cryptonary’s Take:

Solana is consolidating within a tight range and remains largely reactive to Bitcoin’s movement. While broader structure is still fragile, a bullish divergence is forming on the daily timeframe (candle-closing basis), which supports the case for a short-term push toward range highs near $89.

That said, strength remains limited below $89, and anything beyond the range highs is not part of the base case yet. A breakdown below $78 would likely reopen $67.7, and if broader market weakness resumes, $58.56 becomes the next major downside objective. Until range expansion occurs, consolidation remains the primary expectation.


Hyperliquid

TA

Hyperliquid continues to respect the downside roadmap we outlined. Price tapped the first downside target at $28.39 almost perfectly, reacted strongly from that level, and pushed back toward the $30.64 resistance zone. A local high near $31.7 was printed, but price failed to sustain above $30.64 and has since slipped back below it.

The reaction from $28.39 confirms it as valid short-term support, but the inability to reclaim and hold above $30.64 keeps structure tilted lower. For now, rallies into resistance continue to look corrective.

As long as price remains below $33 on a daily closing basis, the broader structure favors downside continuation. A clean daily close above $33 with follow-through would force a reassessment, but until that happens, the path of least resistance remains lower.

If $28.39 fails on a decisive move, the next downside level remains $25.43, the deeper retracement zone that remains untested in this leg.

The 200 EMA on the daily timeframe has flattened around $32.7 and is now acting as overhead pressure. RSI has reset toward neutral levels near 51 with average at 57, removing extreme conditions and allowing room for expansion in either direction.

Chart: Hyperliquid – Downside Target Hit

Hyperliquid price action and downside targets

Key Levels:

  • Support: $28.39
  • Resistance: $30.64
  • Direction: Bearish
  • Upside Target: $33
  • Downside Target: $25.43

Cryptonary’s Take:

Hyperliquid respected the first downside target and reacted, but failure to reclaim resistance keeps the bearish structure intact. Relief bounces are possible, especially if Bitcoin pushes higher short term, but unless we see a daily close above $33 with strength, rallies should be treated as corrective.

A break below $28.39 would likely accelerate downside continuation toward $25.43. Until invalidated, bearish bias remains in play.


Aura

TA

Price structure remains largely unchanged, Aura continuing to consolidate within its range. There has been no decisive break of structure on either side, and price remains in suppression mode while the broader market searches for direction.

The potential bullish divergence setup remains intact. Price has not invalidated the structure, and RSI continues to hold relative strength compared to prior lows. This keeps the divergence thesis technically alive.

At this stage, Aura is largely dependent on wider market strength, particularly from Solana and Bitcoin. If the broader market begins to form a bottom, after the final downside sweep, Aura is positioned for a reactive move given the compression and divergence setup currently in play.

The 200 EMA on the daily timeframe continues to slope lower, hovering near 0.05, reflecting ongoing macro pressure. RSI sits around 32 with an average near 32 as well, signaling persistent but stabilized oversold conditions.

  • Direction: Bullish

Cryptonary’s Take:

Structure has not improved yet for Aura, but it has not deteriorated either. The bullish divergence setup continues to hold, making this a chart to monitor closely. If and when broader market strength returns, Aura could see a sharp mean reversion move. Until that confirmation appears, we remain patient here.


Closing Thoughts

Across the board, majors are attempting to stabilize at the support levels we’ve been tracking. Bitcoin continues to defend the $65,650 region, while Ethereum is holding around $1,957. The reaction from these areas suggests short-term exhaustion on the downside, opening the door for a relief bounce over the next few sessions.

For Bitcoin, a clean break above $68,600 would likely open room toward $72,500. If that plays out, we can expect coordinated short-term upside across the majors. However, this would still be classified as a relief rally within a broader corrective structure, not a trend reversal.

Until we see stronger structural shifts or higher-timeframe reclaim levels, upside moves should be treated cautiously. The plan remains the same, allow the bounce to develop, reassess at resistance, and watch closely for signs of exhaustion if price begins to roll over again.

Peace!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
