On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, Bitcoin fell to $68,780, down 1.9% on the day, while Ethereum dropped to $2,019. The week remains in the red with a 9.1% loss for BTC. The two leading cryptocurrencies are under continuous selling pressure with no bullish catalyst on the horizon. The macroeconomic backdrop remains the primary driver of this decline. Concerns over US monetary policy, particularly rumors of quantitative tightening, are dampening risk appetite. Ethereum, often more volatile than Bitcoin, is amplifying these moves. The drop below $2,050 is symbolic: it brings ETH back to levels seen in late 2025, erasing some of the recent gains. Institutional investors, who supported the market in January, now appear to be stepping back. Today confirms an established downtrend. Bitcoin, despite its historical resilience, is not immune to macroeconomic headwinds. The 9.1% weekly loss indicates a significant correction, but not yet widespread panic. Analysts are watching the next support levels, particularly around $65,000 for BTC. For now, the market is waiting for a clear signalâwhether economic or regulatoryâto reverse the momentum.
