Bitcoin tested and briefly touched $60,000 support on February 6, 2026, as a selloff in tech stocks deepened, driving investors to seek safety in Treasuries and cryptocurrencies. The digital currency traded as high as $64,153.24, reaching its weakest level since October 2024.

Since October 2024, the global crypto market has lost about $2 trillion, with over $1 trillion erased in the past month. Bitcoin was on track for a 16% weekly decline and a 27% annual loss, while ether gained 2.4% to $1,891.27 after hitting a 10-month low of $1,751.94, heading for a 17% weekly drop and 36% annual loss.

Outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs exceeded $3 billion in January, continuing a trend of drying investor enthusiasm.

Bitcoin ETF holders demonstrate resilience as the cryptocurrency fell 40% in a single session, according to Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas in a CoinDesk Markets Outlook interview on February 5, 2026.

Balchunas attributes this stability to structural differences between ETF investors and crypto-native traders, noting parallels with the performance of gold ETFs during historical volatility.

The drawdown underscores persistently high volatility, but Balchunas suggests that ETF participation may help institutionalize bitcoin within traditional finance, providing a counterweight to retail-driven price swings.

Bitcoin fell below the critical 70,000 level and the 50-day moving average on February 5, 2026, spurring a synchronized sell-off in major Bitcoin ETFs. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT-US) plunged over 13% on the day, its largest one-day drop since late August 2024; the fund is down more than 27% this year as holders face widening account losses.

Crypto is highly momentum-driven and correlated with broader risk assets. As tech and AI equities weaken, Bitcoin often follows. ETFs such as Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC-US) and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC-US) also fell over 13% amid net outflows this year, signaling reduced exposure and heightened volatility.

The broader sell-off may be linked to pressure on precious metals, with gold and silver strategies seeing unwind and margin calls that could further amplify crypto market swings.

Canada and Alberta are advancing a new oil pipeline to ship about 1 million barrels per day from Alberta to the West Coast, aiming to diversify crude exports away from the U.S. toward Asia's growing demand.

Alberta's 2025 production hit 4.1 million bpd, 84% from oil sands, up 4.2% from 2024. With Trans Mountain's nameplate capacity tripled to 890,000 bpd and flows up 10% via drag-reducing agents, exports to Asia rose to over $804 million (C$1.1 billion) by October 2025.

ATB Economics projects oil and gas exports to grow 2% in 2026 and 2027, but without a new pipeline, output could be capped as early as 2028 due to capacity constraints.

The federal government and Alberta signed a strategic energy and trade agreement in November 2025, supporting a project provisionally named West Coast Oil Pipeline. Alberta plans to submit the project to Canada's Major Projects Office by July 2026 for designation as a project of national interest, with northwest BC and Prince Rupert likely to be key terminals.
