Bitcoin holds below $80,000 as January prediction contracts miss liquidation-driven slide: Asia Morning Briefing

In the Asia Morning Briefing, it was reported that Bitcoin is currently trading below the $80,000 mark. This comes in light of January predictions that anticipated a different market trajectory; specifically, these predictions failed to account for a significant decline driven by liquidation in the crypto markets. As a result, Bitcoin's price has not only remained under the critical level of $80,000 but has also raised concerns among investors about the accuracy of forecasting in such a volatile environment. source: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/02/02/bitcoin-holds-below-usd80-000-as-january-prediction-contracts-miss-liquidation-driven-slide-asia-morning-briefing
