This Thursday, February 19, Bitcoin falls to $66,456, down 1.5% on the day. Ethereum drops to $1,955, losing 1.9%. The week deepens with a cumulative decline of 0.7% for BTC, but the slide accelerates in recent sessions. Volumes remain high, a sign that selling pressure is not easing. Altcoins are in the doldrums, and the market seems to be searching for a bottom.
This bearish move occurs in a climate of widespread distrust. Macroeconomic uncertainties, particularly over monetary policies, weigh heavily. Bitcoin, after flirting with $70,000 earlier in the week, loses ground daily. Ethereum follows the same trajectory, without a catalyst to reverse the trend. Investors wonder whether this correction is temporary or the start of a longer trend.
For traders, today is a test of patience. Bitcoin is approaching $66,000, an important psychological level. If support holds, a technical rebound is possible. Otherwise, $65,000 could be reached quickly. Hodlers remain stoic, betting on the long term. But the week ends on a negative note, and the weekend could bring its share of surprises. In the meantime, volatility remains king.
