2026 Halving Cycle: Why "Gentle February" Might Be the Last Preparatory Stage Before a Bull Market?

After the intense volatility of 2025, the crypto market in February 2026 is at an interesting "crossroads."

1. Polarization of Core Assets
The current secondary market shows a clear polarization trend. Funds are flowing away from governance tokens lacking real value support and into practical assets with genuine revenue potential (Revenue Tokens).

BTC: Currently holding steady above $67,000, attempting to challenge the key resistance level of $72,000. ETH: With the Ethereum Foundation announcing 2026 protocol priorities (focusing on Layer 1 scaling and Blob integration), Ethereum has strongly recaptured the $2,000 mark, with a rebound momentum even stronger than the broader market.

2. Macro Data and Policy Battles
The PCE data released on the 20th of this month remains a market indicator. Additionally, the signing of the "Clarity Act" in 2026 has brought institutional-level compliance trust to platform tokens but also raised higher transparency requirements.

💡 Strategy Recommendations:
During this current "consolidation squeeze" period, it is recommended to focus on the narrative of AI + crypto finance integration. As agreed at the Consensus HK 2026 conference: Crypto must move toward an "imperceptible integration" phase of real-world applications. #深度创作营 $BTC $ETH ‌ ‌
