Any Bitcoin fans care to explain the current downtrend? I would think with war on the horizon it would be stronger.

This might play a part.
AI-driven layoffs have accelerated in recent years, particularly in the tech sector. In 2026 alone, over 150,000 tech jobs have been cut across more than 500 companies, including major firms like Oracle, Meta, Snap, Amazon, and Block, with AI explicitly cited as a primary driver in many cases

The U.S. labor market in 2026 is experiencing significant job losses, with hundreds of thousands of positions cut across multiple sectors, driven largely by automation, AI adoption, and corporate restructuring.
Overview of Job Losses
The start of 2026 has seen a continuation of a labor market trend described as the "efficiency era," where companies are reducing headcount to invest in automation and AI infrastructure. In January alone, nearly 600,000 jobs were cut across tech, logistics, finance, and manufacturing, marking a 15% rise in layoff velocity compared to previous periods (Economic Times)This follows over 1.1 million job losses in 2025, indicating a structural shift rather than a cyclical downturn
To borrow a phrase, what does that have to do with the price of bitcoin in china lol. Do only people in tech, logistics finance and manufacturing buy bitcoin? The national unemployment rate is certainly up from its low of 3.5% back in 2022 but at 4.3% we're not exactly in a depression. Bitcoin is down 35% from its high in january. With an ever increasing federal debt and concerns about inflation that seems rather remarkable.

IMO, the crypto bear market is a lot of manipulation to get people into position before the Clarity act is passed. Also the banks are lobbying like heck to control the legislation in order to limit yield on stablecoins deposits. 0.1% interest is good right? In that case crypto is no better than fiat. Banks are hurriedly developing their own blockchain specific to their product. So who needs a different chain.
A lot of angst amongst the online crypto posters, mostly finger pointers who didn’t get rich quick enough.
My plans are more generational and am bagging for my great grand kids. It would be ok if a million $$ fell out but not holding my breath. I hold almost no $BTC or $ETH enough for gas fees. My major investments are in $ADA & $AMP and am buying the down trend.

600k people still have mortgages and rent to pay. and they may not have found jobs yet . Gold and silver have also come down quite a bit since Jan I guess you never fell on hard times before. because when You do, you tend to sell off asset's in order to keep your head above water. Im not saying thats the only reason, or its a depression, Like I stated before it might be playing a part . Im talking from experience
