Back to Bear Market Territory?
Bitcoin Adjusted SOPR (aSOPR) just slid back into the 0.92–0.94 zone — a range that historically aligns with peak bear market stress.
When aSOPR stays below 1.0, it signals that coins are being spent at a loss. That’s not strength — that’s pressure.
This is the phase where weak hands capitulate and strong hands quietly accumulate.
Stress is high. Sentiment is fragile.
But historically, this zone has marked late-stage pain — not early-stage euphoria.
Watch the reaction carefully.

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

#BuyTheDipOrWaitNow? Bitcoin at $69,500–$70K | Mid-February 2026 Market Outlook 📊🚀
As of mid-February 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading in the crucial $69,500–$70,000 range, bouncing back from an early-month drop below $65K triggered by over $8 billion in liquidations. The swift rebound of nearly 6% within 72 hours highlights improving macro sentiment, renewed institutional dip-buying, and the clearing of excessive leverage. Yet, with BTC still far below the October 2025 peak near $126K, the market remains in a post-bull correction and strategic reaccumulation phase.

Bitcoin is hovering around $68,700–$68,900 USD, bouncing from yesterday’s mild red close. After the brutal early-Feb dip (~$60,062 on Feb 6), BTC has recovered roughly 15%,
Global crypto market has seen $2+ trillion wiped from total cap since late 2025, massive ETF outflows, $16B+ liquidations, and two major on-chain capitulation waves. Fear & Greed Index hit extreme lows (~5), retail participation faded, and leveraged positions unwound hard.
So the question: Buy the dip now? DCA in phases? Or wait for further pain? Let’s break it down in full.

Headline: 🚨 $70K RECLAIMED: Opportunity or Trap? 📉📈
The "King" is back above $70,000 today, Feb 16th! After a brutal February slide, the bulls are finally fighting back. But the golden question remains: Are you jumping in now or waiting for one last drop?
Why I’m leaning toward [Buy/Wait]:
✅ Pros: Core CPI at 2.4% means the Fed "Pivot" is closer than ever.
⚠️ Cons: We are still trading below the 200-day EMA ($68,830). We need a daily close above $72k for full confirmation.
The Strategy: Many "Smart Money" players are DCA-ing (Buying in batches) here

The question on every crypto investor’s mind right now is: “Should I buy the dip or wait?” It’s not an easy decision. Prices move quickly, news cycles are constant, and emotions can run high. Making the right choice isn’t just about reading charts it’s about understanding the market, your goals, and your tolerance for risk.
Buying the dip can be a powerful opportunity. Historically, some of the most profitable moves in crypto came from investors who bought during market downturns rather than waiting for the “perfect bottom.” Coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and several prom

After a sharp market correction, every trader and investor faces the same critical dilemma. Is this the perfect opportunity to buy at discounted prices, or is it wiser to wait for further downside before entering? In the volatile world of crypto, timing decisions can significantly impact both short term performance and long term portfolio growth.
When prices fall rapidly, emotions dominate decision making. Fear pushes many participants to sell near the bottom, while opportunistic buyers step in hoping to capture the next rebound. Understanding whether

This is the question echoing after every market correction… let’s skip the hype and break it down logically 👇
📉 Scenario 1: Dip is hitting strong support
If the price is holding at a major support zone, daily demand area, or a strong trendline, with stable volume and reduced panic selling —
👉 Gradual buying (DCA) could be a smart move.
⚠️ But beware: blind dip buying can easily turn into a trap.
⚠️ Scenario 2: Market structure is still weak
If:
Lower highs & lower lows are forming
Selling volume is strong
Macro news is negative
Then it’s better to:
👉 Wait for confirma
