Why Is Bitcoin Dropping? BTC’s Price Slides Towards $70K After A Week Of Lower Highs On 'Campaign Selling'

Analysts say the drop in Bitcoin’s price is because of capital reallocation rather than retail panic selling.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Analysts flagged a data-heavy macro week, with rate decisions and U.S. labor reports expected to drive volatility across crypto and risk assets.</li><li>Market commentators warned that Bitcoin’s loss of key technical levels in past cycles has often preceded deeper drawdowns, keeping downside risks in focus.</li><li>Despite a short-term price bounce, Bitcoin saw heavy liquidations dominated by shorts, while retail sentiment remained bearish with elevated chatter levels.</li></ul>Bitcoin (BTC) climbed above $79,000 on Tuesday, rebounding from price levels last seen in late 2024 and putting the spotlight back on the $80,000 psychological mark for traders watching near-term momentum. Analysts warn that U.S. economic data and rate expectations could drive sharp moves in crypto and other risk assets.&nbsp;Bitcoin (BTC) had briefly touched $79,000 before dipping back to $78,469.67, up by 0.7% in the previous day. According to&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin/historical_data?start=2024-10-31&amp;end=2026-02-02">historical records</a>, Bitcoin’s rebound followed a decline back to price levels last seen in November 2024, a zone that previously saw sustained trading activity.&nbsp;&nbsp;Forbes reported that Yuya Hasegawa, crypto market analyst at Bitbank,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2026/01/31/worst-case-scenario-crypto-suddenly-braced-for-massive-1-trillion-bitcoin-price-crash/">said</a>, “A break below the key $80,000 psychological level could accelerate selling pressure once again.” He added that, “Should Bitcoin decline another leg lower, oversold conditions and perceived value levels may increasingly attract dip-buying interest.”<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin (BTC),</a> trading at around $78,175.11, up 0.9% in the last 24 hours, saw about $81.62 million in total liquidations.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Analysts broadly see the data as supportive for crypto but disagree on how the impact may play out.&nbsp;</li><li>Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal said PMI strength is a necessary condition for sustained crypto gains.</li><li>Other analysts remain cautious, citing the low likelihood of a new bull market.</li></ul>A surprise jump in the ISM Manufacturing PMI to 52.6 on Monday, marking its first expansion in 12 months, split crypto analysts over what the data could mean for Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader cryptocurrency market.The reading marked the highest level the ISM Manufacturing PMI has been at since August 2022. It was also a notable improvement from December’s 47.9 reading and beat forecasts of 48.5.&nbsp;While most market watchers agree that the numbers are positive for the overall cryptocurrency market, they remain divided on the extent of the impact on prices and how it will play out.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> rose 2.9% in the last 24 hours to around $78,800 – extending its recovery from the weekend flash crash that pulled the crypto market’s value below $3 trillion.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the apex cryptocurrency improved marginally to ‘bearish’ from ‘extremely bearish’ territory over the past day, with chatter remaining at ‘extremely high’ levels.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_02_03_024812_png_59927847ab.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-02-03 024812.png" width="1252" height="136"><figcaption>BTC retail sentiment and message volume on February 3 as of 1:45 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts Split On What PMI Expansion Means For Crypto</h2>“ISM is not everything, and it doesn’t mean up only yet necessarily, but it is a necessary condition for strong crypto prices over time (as in liquidity),” Raoul Pal, Real Vision CEO, said in a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/RaoulGMI/status/2018502366996070449?s=20">post&nbsp;</a>on X.

Host of ‘Colin Talks Crypto’ and creator of the Crypto Bitcoin Bull Run Index (CBBI) stated that while the uptick in ISM is a “nice start”, it’s more than likely that Bitcoin is still in a bear market. “I give this outcome of ISM causing (or signalling) a 2026 extended bull run about a 20% chance of materializing,” he wrote in a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/ColinTCrypto/status/2018529493275628013">post</a> on X. “It's possible. I won't rule it out. But I don't think it has big odds.”Meanwhile, entrepreneur and investor Mark Chadwick said the PMI reading signals that altcoin season may finally be upon the crypto market. “This PMI chart can’t get any clearer; when PMI is high, we go parabolic,” he&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/markchadwickx/status/2018411553360666898">wrote</a> on X.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/markchadwickx/status/2018411553360666898" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_02_03_024838_png_6645f608ed.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-02-03 024838.png" width="833" height="1026"></a><figcaption>Source: @markchadwickx/X</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">Why ISM Manufacturing PMI Matters for Crypto Markets</h2>Crypto commentator Jesse Eckel argued that the PMI’s move above 50 carries historical significance for the crypto market. He noted that major crypto bull runs in 2013, 2017, and 2021 coincided with ISM readings above the expansion threshold.“This entire cycle, since 2021, we’ve been below 50 with only tiny blips above the surface,” he wrote in a post on X. “This is by far the largest move up we’ve had this cycle. Run it hot.”According to Eckel, the PMI itself is less important as a survey and more valuable as an indicator of economic acceleration and liquidity momentum. He explained that when liquidity expands and economic activity accelerates, investors tend to move further out along the risk curve. This usually spells good news for Bitcoin, NFTs, and altcoins across the crypto market. “People don't invest in the riskiest assets when they are scared; they do it when they are greedy,” he said.So far, he noted that the currency cycle has been driven purely by narrative, institutional adoption, and “boomer” ETF money. He forecast the current setup could result in a bigger crypto cycle than the one the market saw in 2021.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/cathie-wood-says-i-would-shift-from-gold-to-bitcoin-as-ark-invest-buys-the-dip/cZbikVHR4lf">Cathie Wood Says ‘I Would Shift From Gold To Bitcoin’ As ARK Invest Buys The Dip In Crypto Stocks</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>In the last 17 years, Bitcoin has gone from Satoshi’s Genesis Block to a $126,000 digital asset.</li><li>Bitcoin’s journey reflects a philosophical tension between decentralization and institutional adoption, with market capitalization surpassing $2.2 trillion.</li><li>Once designed to bypass intermediaries, Bitcoin now serves as a treasury asset, ETF investment, and hedge in the debasement trade.</li></ul>Seventeen years after the publication of Bitcoin’s (BTC) white paper, the cryptocurrency has grown far beyond its original ethos.&nbsp;Satoshi Nakamoto pitched “a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash” that would eliminate intermediaries and bypass traditional financial gatekeepers. The timestamped headline on the Genesis Block, mined on January 3, 2009, read, "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." It was a direct critique of a system that had erased wealth while protecting institutional actors during 2008 financial crisis.Today, that radical vision has been partially co-opted by the very institutions Bitcoin was designed to circumvent.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Centralization Forces Enter the Fray</h2>Strategy’s pivot in 2020 set the stage for this shift. Today, over 100 publicly listed companies across 29 countries hold more than 1.6 million Bitcoin, valued at $183 billion, according to&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/treasuries/bitcoin">data</a> from CoinGecko. Bitwise data&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/BitwiseInvest/status/1978221667605176785/photo/1">shows</a> there are almost 40% more public companies holding Bitcoin today than there were three months ago.Regulatory frameworks, including the GENIUS, CLARITY, and Anti-CBDC Acts, have further normalized institutional participation.&nbsp;Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and digital asset treasuries (DATs) provide regulated channels for traditional investors, introducing centralized control and benchmarks to a system originally designed to bypass them.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Decentralization Resists And Evolves</h2>Despite centralization pressures, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) continue to grow. According&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://defillama.com/">to</a> DefiLlama, DEXs recorded a historic monthly trading volume of over $585 billion in October 2025, surpassing the previous peak set in January 2025 during the emergence of meme tokens TRUMP and MELANIA.&nbsp;Meanwhile, macro uncertainty has elevated Bitcoin’s role in the “<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/bitcoin-was-the-only-answer-to-the-debt-crisis-strive-ceo/cLGFCkMR3xl">debasement trade</a>,” with investors using it as a hedge against dollar weakness. The surge above $126,000 in early October shows Bitcoin’s dual identity, explained in NYDIG's latest&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nydig.com/research/the-factors-driving-gold-and-bitcoin">research</a> report.

On Friday,&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/BTC.X">Bitcoin’s price</a> gained 2.1% in the last 24 hours, trading at around $110,4000. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the token improved to ‘bullish’ from ‘neutral’ territory over the past day, as chatter rose to ‘normal’ from ‘low’ levels.&nbsp;Bitcoin’s 17-year journey is a tug-of-war.
