Bitcoin failed to penetrate critical technical resistance earlier this week and is now staring at a support level of $35,500.
- Prices dropped 4.6% on Wednesday after buyers failed to push through the trendline connecting highs reached in November and January.
- The top cryptocurrency was changing hands near $36,400 at press time, representing a 1.3% drop on the day.
- The reversal lower from the bearish trendline in the wake of below-50 or bearish readings on the daily and the four-hour chart relative strength index indicate an end of the corrective bounce and resumption of the broader downtrend.
- Support is seen at $35,500 – the horizontal line on the four-hour chart – followed by next support level of $32,933, the low reached on Jan. 24.
- A convincing UTC close above the two and a half-month downtrend line is needed to invalidate the immediate bearish bias.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

U.S. listed bitcoin, ether ETFs bleed nearly $1 billion in a day
U.S.-listed spot bitcoin and ether ETFs saw one of their worst combined outflow days of 2026 as falling prices, rising volatility and macro uncertainty pushed investors to cut exposure.
What to know:
- U.S.-listed spot bitcoin and ether ETFs saw nearly $1 billion in outflows in a single session, as crypto prices tumbled and risk appetite faded.
- Bitcoin dropped below $85,000 and briefly neared $81,000, while ether fell more than 7%, prompting heavy redemptions from major ETFs run by BlackRock, Fidelity and Grayscale.
- Analysts say the synchronized ETF selling reflects institutions cutting overall crypto exposure amid rising volatility, hawkish Federal Reserve expectations and forced unwinding of leveraged positions, though some see the move as a leverage shakeout rather than the start of a bear market.
