This Tuesday, February 24, 2026, Bitcoin plummets to $64,578, crashing 4.5% on the day. Ethereum collapses to $1,854, losing 5.1%. On the week, BTC plunges 6.3%, marking one of the worst recent performances. Volumes explode, a sign of widespread selling panic across crypto markets.
This brutal crash is fueled by a tense macroeconomic context, where fears of a global recession are intensifying. Traditional markets, like the Nasdaq, are also suffering severe losses, amplifying the flight to safe-haven assets like the dollar or gold. Bitcoin, often considered a risk asset, is caught in this turmoil. Ethereum, more volatile, suffers an even stronger correction.
For investors, today is a shock, but it also reminds us of the cyclical nature of cryptocurrencies. The 6.3% weekly loss erases gains from previous days, bringing Bitcoin back to levels seen in early February. Short-term prospects are grim, with a possible test of the $64,000 support level. However, some traders see this as a buying opportunity at reduced prices, hoping for a technical rebound in the coming days. Caution remains warranted.
