BlockBeats News, February 26th, Cryptocurrency market analyst Axel published a report on social media stating that CryptoQuant data shows that Bitcoin's "MVRV Z-Score" is currently -2.28, dropping below the bear market bottoms of 2018 (-1.6) and 2022 (-1.4), entering a "strong bear" zone. The MVRV Z-Score is a standardized deviation value of market value relative to realized value; a negative value indicates that the market price is below on-chain "fair value." Axel explained that this anomaly can be attributed to the scale of realized value in the ETF era, where a large amount of institutional capital inflow has raised the cost basis, making the Z-Score more sensitive to price adjustments. If the Z-Score rebounds above -1.5 and the price holds above $65,000, it will be the first technical confirmation signal to exit the pressure zone. However, the NUPL indicator, which measures market sentiment, is currently at 0.197, still in the "hope" zone, far from reaching the surrender zone historically seen at cycle bottoms. During a true surrender phase (December 2018, March 2020, November 2022), NUPL would drop into the negative territory, with the majority of holders experiencing net losses. The current 0.197 is in the middle of the historical range, still far from the true pain zone. The data indicates a weakening market sentiment, but not yet panic. Most participants are still in unrealized profits (NUPL> 0), but confidence has significantly wavered.

The company plans to complete the full business integration of Alani Nu by the end of the first quarter of 2026, while the integration of the Rockstar Energy brand is expected to be finalized by the end of the second quarter of 2026. The clear timeline for this integration process provides the market with a transparent strategic outlook. The two acquired brands will be gradually incorporated into Celsius's existing operational system, a move that is expected to further strengthen the company's market position in the functional beverage sector. By systematically integrating resources, Celsius will optimize supply chain synergies and expand the coverage of its distribution network. Notably, the differentiated pace of integration for each brand reflects the company's precise control over the complexity of business consolidation. Alani Nu, as a health energy brand targeting female consumers, offers a product line that complements Celsius's existing portfolio; while Rockstar Energy, as a traditional energy drink giant, brings channel resources that will serve as a significant driving force for Celsius's global expansion. According to the current plan, by mid-2026, Celsius will have completed the full integration of both major brands, at which point the company's product matrix and market competitiveness are expected to achieve a qualitative leap.

At the same time, the company also informed the market of a series of significant business developments it has recently achieved.
