Week 5 Year 2026 Highlights – Catch Up on Everything You Missed!


When fear peaks, flows usually flip.

While most of the market reacts to price, institutions position around risk, liquidity, and sentiment extremes. This past week offered a textbook example of that dynamic in action.

Here is everything you may have missed across the House of Crypto ecosystem.



Key Highlights:

  • YouTube Channel | Fear Peaks Flow Flips: Why Crypto Will Gain as Metals Top

  • The Moon House | Bitcoin Reclaims Fair Value: Cost Basis Tightens the Range

  • The Inner Circle | Hang out with sharp minds

  • Bitunix | Trade to Unlock Up to 40,000 USDT Prize Pool

House of Crypto YouTube Channel:


In this video, Peter explains why extreme bearish sentiment pushed him to take the opposite side of consensus. Media driven hype around gold and silver reached euphoric levels just as macro indicators quietly turned. ISM moved back above 50, liquidity conditions improved, and institutional behavior suggested accumulation rather than risk avoidance.


While retail capitulated, Peter positioned short precious metals and long Bitcoin and Ethereum. Historically, this combination of fear, forced selling, and improving macro conditions tends to mark inflection points rather than breakdowns.


In his January 29th breakdown, Peter added important context to the gold and silver rally. The surge does not imply imminent collapse. Instead, it reflects expectations of monetary debasement and liquidity expansion. Equities and credit markets continue to flash risk on signals, suggesting institutions are positioning ahead of easing financial conditions.


Historically, precious metals often move first, with liquidity rotating into Bitcoin and altcoins afterward. This frames metals as an early warning system, not an end destination.

Here’s what our experts have been sharing over the past week:


Bitcoin Reclaims Fair Value

From The Moon House, our expert highlighted why Bitcoin reclaiming its cost basis matters. ETF cost basis sits near 82.6k, while short term holder cost basis is around 81k. Prolonged trading below 80k becomes structurally difficult because most ETF investors remain underwater. History shows price rarely stays below cost basis without a forced resolution. Incentives strongly favor a fast move back above key thresholds, while failure risks ETF outflows and renewed pressure.



Market Fear Spikes as Bitcoin Tests Support

This week also saw a sharp reset across crypto markets. Bitcoin swept the November 80k low, triggering roughly five billion dollars in long liquidations, surpassing prior crisis periods. Bulls now need consecutive daily closes above 80k to avoid further downside into the low 70k region. Despite widespread fear, selective strength continues to appear in Hyperliquid driven tokens with real utility and fee generation. Attention now turns to regulation headlines, major tech earnings, and upcoming US economic data as macro pressure remains elevated.

Here’s what our community’s hive mind has been discussing over the past week:


Inside the Community Debate

Inside the Inner Circle, a strong debate unfolded around whether current price action represents a bear market or a correction. Fortune argues this is a sharp pullback within a broader uptrend, noting the absence of classic cycle top excess. Good2go counters that key macro trends and supports are broken, large cap alts remain deeply underwater, and historical cycles suggest a prolonged accumulation phase unless major assets reclaim all time highs quickly. This kind of debate is exactly where clarity forms before consensus returns.
