Bitcoin hovered around $70,780 on Tuesday after briefly reaching $71,000 and liquidating $186 million in shorts, with liquidity relatively thin between $70,000 and $72,000 and heavier bands below. Analysts see scope for a push toward $72,000 and even $74,000–$75,000 before a possible return to the $64,000–$68,000 zone, while rising RSI, spot volume and nearly $934 million in weekly spot ETF inflows point to improving demand. Net buying across major exchanges and sustained inflows into Bitcoin investment products continue to support upside momentum, but a deeper pullback remains possible from a liquidity standpoint.

According to Allium data, stablecoin transaction volume climbed to a record $1.8 trillion in February, with USDC accounting for around 70% of all transfers. USDC's monthly volume reached $1.26 trillion versus USDt's $514 billion, while Bitcoin's rise to $74,000 coincided with stablecoin balances on exchanges increasing to $66.5 billion and a recovering Stablecoin Supply Ratio.

Bitcoin rose about 8% on Wednesday to trade above $73,000, after spending roughly three weeks capped in the $64,000–$70,000 range. Analysts say profit-taking near $70,000 must ease and support around the 200-week EMA at $68,000 and the $70,000 zone must hold for BTC to target the next resistance near $75,000.

Ether’s price rally paused just above $2,000 after facing strong resistance, leaving the $1,800 support area as a critical level. Onchain and technical metrics suggest that a decisive break below this zone could trigger a deeper decline toward targets below $1,500 in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin fell to about $65,950 after failing to hold the $70,000 area, while several analysts project the current bear phase could extend into late 2026. Based on on-chain metrics, past cycle durations and exchange reserve trends, they outline possible bottom zones between roughly $30,000 and $45,000, with some models clustering lows around the fourth quarter of 2026.

Ethereum rebounded above $2,000 after dropping below $1,800 on Feb. 6, leaving price up 18% since that dip. A sharp rise in 30-day realized volatility on Binance to 0.97 and an MVRV Z-Score in the historical accumulation zone indicate a potential local bottom while the $1,800–$1,900 trend support holds.

Bitcoin climbed back toward $66,000 after Tuesday's advance in United States equities, with tech and AI stocks leading the move. The recovery coincided with a positive flip in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index and $258 million in ETF net inflows, signaling renewed demand from U.S. traders. Onchain data also shows Bitcoin's correlation with both the S&P 500 and gold at multi‑year lows, which some analysts say could precede substantial upside if the relationship normalizes.

XRP is tracing a bear pennant on its two-day chart after a sharp fall toward $1.12, leaving a potential path to $0.80 if the pattern breaks down. CryptoQuant data show more than 31 million XRP, worth nearly $45 million, were moved to Binance on Feb. 21 by large holders, creating notable sell-side pressure. An analyst has highlighted support around $1.22, warning that a decisive break below $1.20 could open further declines toward $1.11, $1 and possibly $0.80 in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin is on track for a fifth straight red monthly candle, with this month down 15%, according to CoinGlass. Analysts note that 2018/19 saw six red months followed by over 316% gains in five months, while 2022 delivered four red quarters and a 64% annual drawdown. Others on X argue the current setup is structurally different.
