New "bottom signal" for Bitcoin: key crypto CEOs' verdicts and BTC local lows
An interesting "bottom indicator" for Bitcoin has been noted on X (Twitter): every major sentence against prominent crypto CEOs apparently coincides with a local BTC price low. For instance, in 2018, the arrest of Vinnik; in 2022–2023, the sentences of Do Kwon and SBF; and currently in 2024, CZ's ongoing sentence.

On 10 February 2026, SafeMoon CEO Brayden Caroni received a 100-month prison sentence. At that time, Bitcoin is trading below $70,000 after falling from $126,000. This coincidence has led market participants to search for patterns that might serve as signals for investors.
If this pattern holds true, future verdicts against major crypto figures could indicate forthcoming BTC price lows, offering valuable insights for investment and trading strategies.
