Gate Research: Stocks and Gold Silver Pull Back Weighing on Crypto | Moltbook Sparks an Agent Wave Spilling Into Clanker

• Market Review: On Feb 2, a pullback in stocks and gold/silver weighed on risk assets, sending crypto broadly lower. The Fear & Greed Index fell to 14, the lowest level this year. BTC traced a “sharp drop → capitulation wick → weak rebound → low-range consolidation” pattern. While no new systemic negative catalyst emerged, the “1011” controversy has resurfaced repeatedly, slowing confidence recovery. Key levels to watch are $75K support and $80K resistance. ETH underperformed materially, with $2,200 as the critical line—if it breaks, downside targets shift to $2,150/$2,000.
• Hot Tokens: Even in a weak tape, pockets of strength emerged. POKT rallied on deflationary tokenomics upgrades and partnership catalysts; LMTS rose on buybacks/burns and a volume milestone; AVA (Holoworld AI ecosystem) gained on the AI-agent narrative and ecosystem expectations.
• Alpha Take: Prediction markets posted a record $12B+ in January volume, keeping sector momentum strong. Moltbookignited an agents-driven social wave, with attention spilling into Clanker via rising token launches and trading activity. Meanwhile, the meme sector weakened further, and Murad Mahmudov’s reported ~$58M six-month loss reignited risk discussions.
