On Feb. 16, Bitcoin and several major altcoins are struggling to extend their rebound as sellers defend important resistance levels. BTC faces pressure below $74,508 while Ether, BNB, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano and Bitcoin Cash are all reacting to nearby moving averages and support zones. Technical signals across these markets suggest a cautious environment, with bears still trying to maintain control at higher prices.

On Feb. 13, Bitcoin rebounded above $68,500, with buyers attempting to establish a higher low near $65,000 and an eye on $74,508. Glassnode said BTC remains range‑bound between about $79,200 and $55,000 until a catalyst emerges, while Standard Chartered cut its 2026 target to $100,000 from $150,000 and projected a pullback toward $50,000 before a later recovery.

On 2/11, Bitcoin slipped below $66,000 during early U.S. hours as major altcoins consolidated after last week's sharp decline. Analysts flagged a potential BTC retest of $60,000, while Ether eyed the $1,750 support. Key ranges remain in play as buyers and sellers compete to set the next trend.

On Feb. 9, charts show Bitcoin pressing into resistance near $74,508 while Ether stalls around $2,111, with several majors encountering supply at higher bands. According to Trader BitBull and Santiment, views diverge on whether the drop toward $60,000 marked a floor; CryptoQuant’s Darkfost notes a Sharpe ratio near -10 that may coincide with late-bear conditions.

On Feb. 6, Bitcoin and a range of major altcoins staged strong double-digit rebounds after sliding to critical support levels during the week's sharp sell-off. BTC bounced from $60,000 back above $69,000, while Ether, BNB, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Bitcoin Cash, Hyperliquid and Monero all attempted relief rallies. Technical indicators such as the relative strength index and moving averages suggest these moves may face stiff resistance, keeping open the question of whether a durable recovery is forming or if the bounce will fade.

Bitcoin slid to a 15‑month low at $72,169, and one analyst warned the price could revisit BTC's realized level near $56,000 in the coming weeks. Other analysts expect a market bottom to form sooner, while multiple major altcoins hover near key supports that could either trigger fresh declines or spark short relief rallies. Traders are watching whether BTC can hold $74,508 and if leading altcoins such as ETH, BNB and SOL can defend their critical levels.

On Jan. 30, Bitcoin stayed under pressure after slipping below $84,000, with sellers testing the $80,600 area and eyed support near $74,508. Several large-cap altcoins also breached key levels, raising downside risks across the market. Some analysts foresee further weakness, while others note potential bottoming patterns if buyers defend supports.

On Jan. 28, Bitcoin traded above $90,000 and met resistance near $90,500 as traders positioned around the FOMC. Several leading altcoins are attempting rebounds but may encounter selling near moving averages and overhead levels. February has historically favored BTC, with only three negative months since 2013 and a median 12.21% rise.

On Jan. 21, Bitcoin hovered around $88,000 support while several large-cap altcoins struggled against overhead moving averages. Peter Brandt said on X that BTC might revisit $58,000–$62,000, and Fundstrat's Tom Lee warned of a potentially painful 2026 even as he expects a strong year-end with a possible new all-time high. Buyers must defend critical floors or the nascent rebound could fade.
