Bitcoin Price Down 12% This Week As Fear Index Plummets to 2022 Levels

The crypto Fear & Greed Index hit its lowest point in nearly three years, as “Extreme Fear” gripped the digital asset market. According to the indicator, the multi-year sentiment low revisited levels last seen in mid-2022, when corporate failures shook crypto.

Bitcoin dropped more than 12% this week, kneecapped by trade wars and rising inflation concerns. Ethereum also witnessed record outflows. Downswings in the Nasdaq piled on an already volatile crypto market, despite Nvidia’s fourth-quarter earnings surpassing expectations.

Nevertheless, analysts at Bernstein said this downturn could present a major buying opportunity for investors. Financial powerhouses like Standard Chartered also reiterated high price targets, up to $200,000 by the end of the year, for Bitcoin despite recent market conditions.

Additionally, anticipated regulatory developments in Washington promise a clearer framework for stablecoins and crypto market operators. On Feb. 26, the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets, chaired by Wyoming Republican Cynthia Lummis, held its first hearing to advance work on a bipartisan market structure and stablecoin framework.

EARNINGS UPDATE: Why NVDA Just Won’t Budge

The most important earnings report of 2025 dropped last night. I’m talking about the AI semiconductor giant Nvidia (NVDA). 

The company grew revenues 78% year-over-year, grew EPS 80% year-over-year, and posted outstanding margins. They also raised their guidance for the upcoming quarter and beat results and guidance on almost every single metric. So why didn't the stock respond better to a great earnings report?

The answer is that the incredible growth has continued, but the massive outperformance versus expectations has come down a lot. The lower beats are no longer attracting new investors in the same way. Regardless, the stock is not declining because new investors look at the growth and value and find the shares attractive.

My concern, however, is that the investments by big tech companies will also decelerate at some point. Add in the eventuality of competitors with products that are attractive on both price and capability, and I think the results at NVDA will continue to slow. But I think NVDA’s results are good enough for now. So in the meantime, we're in the calm before the storm.

Top Trades of February (Sell-Off Edition!)

We're back with a Top Trades Sell-Off Edition! In this week's episode, expert trader Greg Guenthner and our chief strategist Enrique Abeyta discuss this week's draw down.

The two start off by discussing the current state of momentum stocks, including Palantir whose stock fell 30% last week. Enrique also goes into detail about what makes a good momentum stock trader before sharing one of his favorites.

They also touch on what Enrique calls "Trump trade anxieties" regarding tariffs and their potential effects. Enrique says to wait and see: If tariffs arrive without much impact on consumers, and Trump manages to negotiate peace in Ukraine, we could actually be looking at a coiled spring for the stock market.

Greg and Enrique also touch on the Federal layoffs, bitcoin is still going to $250,000, and a whole lot more. Click the link below to learn how to play this market!
