The Bitcoin price action over the last few months has been unpredictable. But 
one thing has been clear, and that is the fact that bears have remained firmly 
in control of the price action. From here, there are a number of ways that the 
Bitcoin price could play out, with most speculations pointing toward a 
possible recovery. However, there are levels that the Bitcoin price must 
maintain in order to actualize this recovery or risk losing ground to bears. 
Bitcoin Price Needs To Hold Above $60,000 Crypto Analyst Swallow Academy, in a 
recent analysis, showed that the $60,000 level has become one of the most 
important support points for the Bitcoin price. This is because this was the 
lowest point of the early February crash, suggesting that bears may want to 
retest it again. Related Reading: Dogecoin Vs. Shiba Inu: What Meme Coin

that bulls hold this in order to activate another recovery trend. In this 
case, if bulls are able to successfully defend the price and hold above 
$60,000, triggering a reclaim of buy-side volume, then a recovery will follow. 
The analyst predicts that such a recovery would see the Bitcoin price bounce 
back to the $70,000-$75,000 area. As a result, the major city of liquidity 
would be wiped out. After this, a downtrend would eventually begin, which 
would be the natural path for such a trend. However, in the case of bulls 
failing to hold $60,000 and buy-side pressure fails, then sell-side pressure 
is expected to rise. This scenario would see the Bitcoin price begin to dip 
faster than expected and trigger another crash trend, to push it toward new 
yearly lows. Related Reading: What To Expect For Ripple’s XRP If A Retail Run 
Were To Happen Swallow Academy’s analysis posits that a break of the local 
lows would result in another very deep move to lower lows. While this is not 
entirely bearish, as the price is expected to recover from lows, the chart 
shows that the Bitcoin price could dip below $44,000 before a local bottom is 
then established. Currently, Bitcoin bulls have mounted a notable defense 
above $62,000, suggesting that this is the next level to beat for bears. 
Alternatively, the previous cycle low lies at $61,354, and a break below this 
point would be the first time that Bitcoin has done this in history. Featured

Shares of Circle Internet Group (CRLC) climbed nearly 30% during Wednesday’s 
trading session after the company delivered fourth-quarter (Q4) 2025 results 
that comfortably exceeded Wall Street expectations. The strong earnings 
report, driven largely by growth in its USDC stablecoin and higher reserve 
income, pushed the stock to around $79.13 at the time of writing, marking a 
29.2% gain over the past 24 hours. Circle Earnings Soar On USDC Expansion For 
the fourth quarter, Circle reported earnings of $0.43 per share, sharply ahead 
of the $0.16 per share analysts had projected. Total revenue and reserve 
income reached $770 million, representing a 77% increase compared with the 
same period a year earlier and surpassing consensus estimates of $747.4 
million. Growth in USDC circulation and transaction activity played a central 
role in the company’s performance. By the end of 2025, USDC in circulation had 
risen to $75.3 billion, a 72% year-over-year (YoY) increase. Related Reading:

transaction volume involving USDC reached $11.9 trillion in the fourth quarter 
alone, up 247% from the prior year’s quarter. Net income from continuing 
operations totaled $133 million in Q4, an improvement of $129 million compared 
with the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter came in at $167 
million, up 412% YoY. Looking at the full fiscal year, Circle generated $2.7 
billion in total revenue and reserve income in 2025, a 64% increase compared 
with 2024. Despite that top-line growth, the company posted a net loss from 
continuing operations of $70 million for the year. That figure was 
significantly affected by $424 million in stock-based compensation expenses 
tied to vesting conditions triggered by its 2025 initial public offering 
(IPO). By comparison, Circle had recorded net income of $157 million from 
continuing operations in 2024. On an adjusted basis, EBITDA for the full year 
rose 104% to $582 million. CEO&#8217;s Long-Term Vision Jeremy Allaire, Circle’s co- 
founder, CEO, and chairman, described the quarter as another milestone in the 
company’s long-term strategy. He said the results reflect continued progress 
in building infrastructure for what he called an open and programmable 
internet-based financial system. According to Allaire, USDC adoption has 
expanded across enterprises, developers, and public institutions, with digital 
dollars increasingly used for payments, treasury management, and on-chain 
financial operations. Related Reading: Expert Forecasts $5 Trillions Pouring

advancements toward launching the Arc mainnet, rising transaction volume 
across Circle’s CPN network, and growing traction for the company’s euro- 
backed stablecoin EURC and tokenized treasury product USYC. Circle, which went 
public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in June last year, has 
experienced significant volatility since its debut. Although the latest rally 
lifted shares close to $79, the stock remains roughly 73% below its all-time 
high of $299, reached just weeks after its market debut. Featured image from
