Today (February 19, 2026), the crypto market is a bit grim—Bitcoin and Ethereum are both dropping.


Bitcoin is now hovering around $66,000, down about 2.5% in the past 24 hours, sliding straight down from over $68,000 yesterday. The entire week has been fluctuating between 65K and 68K, with support levels teetering.
Ethereum is even worse, dropping to the mid-$1,940s, a decline of over 2.9%, barely holding the $2,000 mark—but it looks like it could break at any moment.
Market reasons? ETF fund outflows exceeding $3.8 billion, macro pressures (US stock volatility, Iran tensions), plus negative funding rate warnings. The latest tweets on X are all about “BTC stuck below 70K” and “whale sell signals.”
Check out these two charts, the decline is quite obvious:
BTC-1.9%
ETH-2.54%
