On February 1, 2026, Jim Cramer posted on X that Bitcoin near $77,000 could attract buyers and climb back to $82,000. He later cautioned against treating a Monday bounce as a double bottom, suggested shorts might be pressuring Michael Saylor, and pointed to a short‑term floor no lower than $73,000 after BTC slipped under $80,000 and neared $70,000.

Total cryptocurrency market capitalization declined from roughly $2.95 trillion to about $2.56 trillion by February 2, 2026, a drop near $400 billion. The slide began in late January, with Bitcoin down 11.53% to $77,704, Ethereum lower by 20.92% to $2,288, and XRP falling 14.70% to $1.61 over the week.

On February 2, 2026, Robert Kiyosaki responded to a $700 billion decline in the crypto market and an estimated $10 trillion drop in gold and silver by describing the turmoil as a massive sale on investment assets. He contrasted how people rush to buy discounted goods at retailers with their tendency to flee financial markets during crashes, urging followers to decide whether to act more like "rich people" or "poor people." The author used past Bitcoin price history to illustrate that buying after major declines can offer better long-term returns, while also noting that even resilient assets may take years to recover.

Between the morning of January 29 and January 30, XRP recorded the steepest relative decline among major cryptocurrencies, falling 7% in 24 hours and 8.41% over the week as its price reached $1.75. Over the same period, its market capitalization slid from $114 billion to $107 billion, erasing about $7 billion in value amid a broader crypto downturn and cross‑market risk‑asset sell‑offs.

After doubling in just over two years and gaining 27% early in 2026, gold fell 7% on January 29, dropping from $5,500 to $5,119. With an estimated 216,265 tonnes above ground, its total value slid from about $38.37 trillion to $35.71 trillion by January 30; crypto and silver also declined.

Across the 24 hours between January 29 and January 30, total crypto market value declined from $2.96 trillion to $2.76 trillion, wiping out $200 billion. Bitcoin’s valuation slid from about $1.76 trillion to roughly $1.65 trillion, with price near $82,301 after slipping below the 100‑day moving average around $85,000.

By January 28, 2026, Robert Kiyosaki said selling part of his Bitcoin and gold holdings was his biggest investing mistake, while stressing he has kept all his silver. He argued there is no need to sell silver because investors can borrow against it to buy more gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum, and urged followers to move away from what he calls "fake dollars." Gold, silver, BTC, ETH and the U.S. Dollar Index have all seen notable price moves since the start of 2026.

On July 12, 2019, Donald Trump wrote that Bitcoin was "based on thin air." By January 27, 2026, the article calculates that a $1,000 purchase made then would be worth $7,730 with BTC at $87,888, a 673% rise and $6,730 profit. It also cites a $4,660 profit by 2021 and notes a recent decline reportedly removed around 25,000 Bitcoin millionaires.

Since early 2026, Bitcoin has traded with sharp swings and a downward tilt, dropping 3% to $86,226 in the last 24 hours before rebounding to $87,882 for a daily loss of 0.32%. According to an analysis based on OpenAI's ChatGPT, BTC is about 30% below its late-2025 high near $125,000 and could retreat further to $50,000 by May 12, 2026. The AI tool links this potential decline to Bitcoin's historical post-halving cycles and its increasing correlation with broader risk assets.
