Bitcoin Breaks Below 69K on Feb 16: A Final “Shakeout” or the Beginning of a New Crypto Winter?
Bitcoin price breaks the psychological $69,000 level as bearish sentiment spreads across the market.The market woke up this morning under a blanket of red. Bitcoin has officially lost the psychological support level of $69,000, currently trading around $68,287. With the Fear & Greed Index plunging to 12 (Extreme Fear), the biggest question right now is: Are we facing a genuine market breakdown, or is this merely a “cheap accumulation” trick by whales?

After that sharp sell-off from the 70.8k region, $BTC printed a clean double bottom around 68.1k–68.2k.
We’re not trending. We’re rotating.
Price is now hovering near 68.3k–68.4k, right inside an intraday range.
Here’s what matters:
🔹 68.1k–68.2k → Strong intraday demand (defended twice)
🔹 68.9k–69k → Clear supply ceiling
This is a scalper’s environment, not a swing setup.
🎯 Liquidity Map
• Sweep below 68.1k → opens quick move toward 67.8k
• Break and hold above 69k → opens push toward 69.5k–69.8k
Right now #BTC is compressing after forming equal lows.
That usually means one thing:
A liquid

2026 GOGOGO 👊
📊 #BTC via Glassnode: If we treat the early-October all-time high as the peak of this recent bull run, this cycle stands out for having very shallow corrections — closely resembling the steady grind higher we saw during the 2015–2017 market phase. So far, it’s been a surprisingly smooth ride compared to most past cycles.

#BuyTheDipOrWaitNow?
Stop asking if this is “the dip.”
Ask a better question:
Who is trapped right now?
As of mid-February 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering around the psychological battlefield between $69K–$70K. After heavy liquidation events earlier this month, weak hands are gone — but positioning tells a deeper story.
Here’s what most traders are missing:
1️⃣ Liquidity > Emotion
The recent bounce wasn’t “confidence.”
It was short covering + passive spot absorption.
If this were true strength, we’d see:
Expanding spot CVD
Sustained ETF inflows
Rising OI with controlled funding
Instead? We’re

SHOCKING:
The average cost to mine a single Bitcoin is now over $80,000.
Bitcoin itself trades below $70,000.
It is very unprofitable to mine Bitcoin at this moment.

A whale has opened a $41M $BTC LONG with 40x leverage.
This is an extremely aggressive bet: • High leverage = high liquidation risk
• Small BTC move can mean massive profit or loss
• Not for beginners
Whale activity like this often brings volatility, not certainty.
Smart traders don’t blindly follow whales — they manage risk and wait for confirmation.
What do you think? 📈 Confidence play or ⚠️ reckless gamble?
