10x Research: The altcoin market is weak and Bitcoin is oversold, but the position structure is quietly changing
Feb 21, 2026 08:22:00
10 Research stated on platform X that the current structure of the cryptocurrency market is changing. Altcoins overall remain relatively weak, while Bitcoin is in an oversold zone. However, at the same time, the market positions for crypto stocks and some selected altcoins are quietly shifting, with some assets starting to outperform. Among them, Optimism (OP) is under pressure, with OP-USDT currently breaking below the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, showing a bearish technical outlook, and a decline of 24.4% over the past week.
In addition, the Base blockchain is gradually separating from the OP Stack, which means that the previous revenue-sharing partnership between the two has ended. Optimism has officially launched its first monthly token buyback plan, committing to use 50% of the remaining Superchain revenue to buy back OP in the open market. The liquid staking protocol ether.fi has migrated all of its non-custodial operations to the OP mainnet to leverage its enterprise-grade scalability, providing some fundamental support for OP.
