Crypto Market Today (Feb 13, 2026): Bitcoin and Ethereum Key Levels Ahead of CPI

Markets are walking a tightrope into CPI, with crypto pinned to fragile support zones.
By OnChain Revolution • 10 minutes ago
A snapshot of today’s market action, key levels to watch for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and what to expect from upcoming economic data.

Crypto snapshot
Bitcoin: ~$66,970, down about 1.30% in the last 24 hours, range $65,148 to $68,318. (CoinMarketCap; Yahoo Finance)
Ethereum: ~$1,961, down about 1.05% in the last 24 hours, range $1,901 to $1,994. (CoinMarketCap; Yahoo Finance)
Solana: ~$80.00, down about 1.52% in the last 24 hours, range $76.64 to $81.84. (CoinMarketCap; Yahoo Finance)

What actually drove today’s tape
Markets are positioned for the January CPI print, with investors focused on what it implies for the next move in rates. (Reuters)
U.S. stock index futures were muted in early trading, reinforcing a wait-for-the-data mood rather than fresh risk-taking. (Reuters)
That cautious setup kept crypto reactive to headlines and yields, with buyers reluctant to press bids until CPI hits. (Reuters)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Premarket volatility signals jumped, and that volatility bid mattered for crypto-linked equities because it tends to tighten risk appetite across the complex. (Barron’s)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)
Stock index futures were slightly lower ahead of CPI, with S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow futures all modestly in the red early today. (Reuters)

The U.S. 10Y yield was around 4.108% in early trade, which kept the CPI reaction function as the main macro lever for risk assets today. (Barron’s)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $70,000 is the headline psychological level, today’s $65,148 low is the line bulls cannot keep losing, reclaiming $68,318 is the first improvement signal, and $69,000 to $70,000 is the upside magnet if reclaimed.
ETH: Support is near $1,901, reclaiming $1,994 to $2,000 is the stability test, and failure to reclaim keeps ETH fragile into the CPI reaction.

What to watch next (next 24 to 36 hours)
Friday, February 13, 2026, 8:30 AM ET: Consumer Price Index for January 2026 (BLS)
Friday, February 13, 2026, 3:30 PM ET: Commitments of Traders report release (CFTC)
Friday, February 13, 2026, 4:15 PM ET: H.15 Selected Interest Rates (Federal Reserve)

Today’s bottom line
Today is a CPI-volatility setup, and crypto is trading like it knows the next clean trend attempt will likely start with the yield reaction. (Reuters; Barron’s)

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana Slide as Traders Watch Jobs, CPI, and the 10-Year Yield (Feb 11, 2026)

Today feels like a fragile reset, with BTC and ETH testing key levels into major U.S. releases.By OnChain Revolution • 10 minutes ago

A snapshot of today’s market action, key levels to watch for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and what to expect from upcoming economic data.

Crypto snapshot
Bitcoin: ~$67,190, down about 2.05% on the day, range $66,392 to $69,903. (Yahoo Finance)
Ethereum: ~$1,957, down about 2.48%, range $1,933 to $2,044. (Yahoo Finance)
Solana: ~$81.24, down about 3.47%, range $80.44 to $85.06. (Yahoo Finance)

What actually drove today’s tape
Crypto stayed heavy as traders waited for the delayed January U.S. jobs report and Friday’s CPI, keeping risk appetite tight into the morning. (Reuters)
Softer retail-sales data and falling yields pushed markets back into “data-watching mode,” and crypto followed the broader de-risking. (Reuters)
Bitcoin’s drop back toward the mid-$60Ks was framed as a macro-led pullback ahead of the jobs and inflation prints. (MarketWatch)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Crypto-linked stocks traded lower alongside the tape, with names like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy pressured as crypto prices slid. (Barron’s)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)
U.S. index futures were near flat to slightly higher early today, reinforcing the idea that markets are waiting on the labor data rather than chasing risk. (Reuters)
S&P 500 futures were modestly higher and Nasdaq futures were slightly higher in the overnight session. (MarketWatch)

Treasuries stayed bid with the U.S. 10Y yield around ~4.13% early today, which kept the focus on “rates expectations” heading into the next data window. (Investing.com)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $70,000 is the big psychological line, today’s ~$66,392 low is the near-term “defend,” a reclaim of ~$69,903 to $70,000 would improve momentum, and $72,000 is the next obvious upside marker if that happens.
ETH: Support sits near today’s ~$1,933 low, reclaiming ~$2,044 to $2,050 would signal stronger follow-through, and failure to reclaim keeps it in a grindy, sell-the-rips posture.

What to watch next (next 24 to 36 hours)
Wednesday, February 11, 2026, 1:00 PM ET: U.S. Treasury 10-Year Note Auction (U.S. Treasury)
Thursday, February 12, 2026, 8:30 AM ET: Producer Price Index for January 2026 (BLS)
Thursday, February 12, 2026, 10:15 AM ET: Scheduled remarks/discussion by a Fed Governor (Federal Reserve)

Today’s bottom line
The market is treating today as a macro “hold your fire” session: weaker crypto with traders focused on jobs, inflation, and yields. (Reuters)
A clean reclaim of key highs (BTC near $70,000 and ETH near ~$2,050) would change the tone, while failure to reclaim keeps downside tests in play. (MarketWatch)

Crypto Market Update (Feb 9, 2026): Bitcoin Slides as Rates Keep the Pressure On

Markets look like a rates-led selloff with buyers trying to stabilize after last week’s break.
By OnChain Revolution • 10 minutes ago
A snapshot of today’s market action, key levels to watch for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and what to expect from upcoming economic data.

Crypto snapshot
Bitcoin: ~$68,422, down about 4.09% on the day, range $68,422 to $72,024. (Market data)
Ethereum: ~$2,014, down about 5.05%, range $2,010 to $2,140. (Market data)
Solana: ~$83.71, down about 5.38%, range $82.87 to $88.53. (Market data)

What actually drove today’s tape
Crypto stayed pinned to the rates narrative, with higher long-end yields keeping risk appetite constrained after last week’s slide. (Reuters)
Traders kept focus on inflation and rates repricing, with dip-bids showing up but failing to flip momentum decisively. (Reuters)
The near-term catalyst path is still macro-first, with traders watching the next data prints for any relief in yields. (CoinDesk)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Crypto-linked equities were mostly trading as a high beta rates proxy, with any intraday bounce in tokens fading when yields stayed elevated. (Reuters)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)
U.S. equities were sharply higher today, which helped keep downside in crypto from accelerating, but the bounce did not break the rates link. (Market data)
S&P 500 proxy SPY was up about 1.95% today, Nasdaq proxy QQQ was up about 2.19%, and Dow proxy DIA was up about 2.48%. (Market data)

The tape is still treating the U.S. 10Y as the key throttle, with yields near recent highs keeping rallies fragile. (Reuters)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $70,000 is the big psychological pivot, today’s low near $68,422 is the level bulls need to defend, reclaim $72,000 to ease pressure, and a clean reclaim opens room back toward $75,000.
ETH: Support is near today’s low around $2,010, reclaim the $2,140 area to improve the short-term read, and failure to reclaim keeps the tape in “sell-rallies” mode.

What to watch next (next 24 to 36 hours)
Tuesday, February 10, 2026, 1:00 PM ET: U.S. 3-Year Note Auction (U.S. Treasury)
Wednesday, February 11, 2026, 1:00 PM ET: U.S. 10-Year Note Auction (U.S. Treasury)
Wednesday, February 11, 2026, 8:30 AM ET: Consumer Price Index (CPI) (BLS)

Today’s bottom line
Today was another reminder that rates are still setting the ceiling for risk, even when equities bounce. (Reuters)
The bias shifts if yields cool and Bitcoin can reclaim the upper end of today’s range with follow-through. (Reuters)

Crypto Prices Today (Feb 6, 2026): Bitcoin Holds $66K as Yields Stay Hot Ahead of Jobs Data

Markets look like a “rates still in charge” pause ahead of key U.S. labor data.
By OnChain Revolution • 10 minutes ago
A snapshot of today’s market action, key levels to watch for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and what to expect from upcoming economic data.

Crypto snapshot
Bitcoin: ~$66,526, down about 0.3% on the day, range $64,008 to $66,970. (Binance)
Ethereum: ~$2,378, down about 0.9%, range $2,330 to $2,514. (Binance)
Solana: ~$72.15, up about 0.7%, range $65.33 to $73.50. (Binance)

What actually drove today’s tape
Crypto stayed tightly tethered to rates today, with traders reluctant to add risk while yields remained elevated. (FRED)
The U.S. 10Y yield is still sitting around the mid-4% area, which keeps rallies choppy and makes breakouts harder to sustain. (FRED)
The next macro catalyst is the U.S. jobs data, and positioning looks cautious into that event. (BLS)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Crypto-linked equities usually follow the same impulse as BTC when rates are the dominant factor, so the tape still reads as “macro first.” (Stooq)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)
U.S. stocks were weaker today, with the S&P 500 and Dow down on the session, which tends to cap upside follow-through in crypto. (Stooq)
Nasdaq was also lower, reinforcing the cautious risk tone. (Stooq)

Rates are still the gravity, with the U.S. 10Y yield elevated versus recent months. (FRED)
As long as yields stay high, crypto tends to trade more like a rate-sensitive risk asset than a clean narrative market. (FRED)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $65,000 is the psychological line; today’s $64,008 low is the first defend; reclaim $66,970 then $70,000 opens room toward $72,000.
ETH: Support sits near $2,330; reclaim $2,514 then $2,600 would signal strength is sticking rather than fading.

What to watch next (next 24 to 36 hours)
Friday, February 6, 2026, 8:30 AM ET: Employment Situation report (BLS)
Friday, February 6, 2026, 10:00 AM ET: Consumer credit (Federal Reserve)

Today’s bottom line
Today’s tape is still “rates in control,” with crypto struggling to trend cleanly while yields stay elevated. (FRED)
A meaningful drop in the 10Y would be the simplest green light for risk to extend, while sticky yields keep price action choppy. (FRED)

Crypto Market Update (Feb 5, 2026): Bitcoin Slips as Elevated Yields Keep Pressure On

Markets look like a sharp “rates still in charge” risk-off reset, with crypto selling off hard and traders watching yields for the next stabilization signal.
By OnChain Revolution • 10 minutes ago
A snapshot of today’s market action, key levels to watch for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and what to expect from upcoming economic data.

Crypto snapshot
Bitcoin: ~$69,466, down about 5.3% on the day, range $69,185 to $76,085. (CoinGecko)
Ethereum: ~$1,616.54, down about 10.4%, range $1,607.31 to $1,828.07. (CoinGecko)
Solana: ~$119.96, down about 11.7%, range $118.01 to $138.46. (CoinGecko)

What actually drove today’s tape
Crypto sold off alongside a broader risk-off move, with Bitcoin leading a sharp dip as traders de-risked and liquidity thinned. (AP News)
The U.S. 10Y yield stayed elevated near 4.29%, keeping financial conditions tight and making rebounds harder to sustain. (YCharts)
Stocks were lower in the latest session, adding pressure to higher-beta crypto as correlation stayed high. (Stooq) (AP News) (Reuters) (Reuters)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Crypto-linked equities traded like pure beta today, with moves largely mirroring spot price action rather than any single-company catalyst. (Reuters)
Until rates ease convincingly, equity proxies are likely to stay headline and yield sensitive. (Reuters)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)
The S&P 500 fell about 0.51%, the Nasdaq 100 dropped about 1.77%, and the Dow was up about 0.53% in the latest session, which kept risk appetite uneven. (Stooq)
That split tape matters because it often pushes traders to fade rallies in higher-volatility assets first. (Reuters)

Rates remained the macro gravity, with the U.S. 10Y near 4.29% today. (YCharts)
With yields elevated, crypto continues to trade like a duration asset where rallies need a cleaner drop in rates to extend. (Reuters)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $70,000 is the psychological level; today’s $69,185 low is the first defend; reclaim $72,000 then $76,085 opens room toward $80,000.
ETH: Support sits near $1,607; reclaim $1,700 and then $1,828 would signal the bounce is sticking rather than fading.

Today’s bottom line
Today stayed rates-led: crypto sold off hard, and price action still looks tethered to yields and risk appetite. (AP News) (YCharts)
A sustained move lower in the 10Y is the cleanest “breather” signal, while yields near 4.3% keeps rebounds choppy and fragile. (YCharts) (Reuters)

Crypto stabilized after a sharp selloff, with Bitcoin rebounding from the low-$70,000s as dip buyers stepped in and volatility cooled. (CoinDesk)
The U.S. 10Y yield stayed elevated near 4.27%, keeping risk appetite constrained and making bounces feel more like stabilization than trend reversal. (Stooq)
Bitcoin ETF outflows remained a headwind in the background, reinforcing the “rates and flows” tape. (CoinDesk)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Bitcoin-linked proxies and crypto-facing names mostly traded like high-beta exposure to spot, with performance tied to whether BTC could hold its intraday base. (CoinDesk)
Flows stayed a key narrative driver, with ETF activity still influencing the tone around risk. (CoinDesk)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)
U.S. equities were weaker in the latest session, with the S&P 500 down about 0.84%, the Nasdaq down about 1.43%, and the Dow down about 0.34%, which kept the macro backdrop cautious for crypto. (Barchart)
Rates remained the macro gravity point, with the 10Y around 4.27% and sensitivity to yields still high across risk assets. (Stooq)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $80,000 is the psychological level; today’s $73,112 low is the first defend; reclaim $78,337 then $80,000 opens room toward $82,000.

Crypto Market Update: Bitcoin Holds Firm as Yields Keep Traders Cautious (Feb 3, 2026)

Markets look like a classic “rates still in charge” setup.
By OnChain Revolution • 10 minutes ago
A snapshot of today’s market action, key levels to watch for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and what to expect from upcoming economic data.

Crypto snapshot
Bitcoin: ~$94,132, up about 3.2% on the day, range $91,033 to $94,261. (CoinGecko)
Ethereum: ~$2,572, up about 2.8%, range $2,486 to $2,582. (CoinGecko)
Solana: ~$197.81, up about 2.1%, range $191.85 to $197.89. (CoinGecko)

What actually drove today’s tape
Crypto firmed with risk sentiment holding up while traders stayed focused on the rate backdrop, which kept the tape “macro-led” instead of narrative-led. (Bloomberg)
The U.S. 10Y yield was still elevated near 4.29%, which continued to cap follow-through and kept rallies feeling more like positioning than a clean breakout. (Stooq)
U.S. equity futures were modestly higher, which helped BTC hold the bid while higher-beta names tried to stabilize into the next data prints. (Stooq) (Stooq)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Crypto-linked proxies generally tracked spot as traders treated them as high-beta expressions of the same “rates-first” tape rather than a separate catalyst story. (Bloomberg)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)
U.S. stock futures were slightly green, with S&P 500 futures up about 0.13%, Nasdaq futures up about 0.40%, and Dow futures up about 0.02%, which is supportive for crypto at the margin when positioning is fragile. (Stooq)
Rates stayed the key macro input, with the U.S. 10Y around 4.29% today and the market still pricing crypto like a duration-sensitive risk asset. (Stooq)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $95,000 is the psychological level; today’s $91,033 low is the first defend; reclaim $94,261 then $95,000 opens room toward $98,000.
ETH: Support sits near $2,486; reclaim $2,582 and then $2,650 would signal the bounce is sticking rather than fading.

Wednesday, February 4, 2026, 6:30 PM ET: Federal Reserve speech event (Fed calendar)

Today’s bottom line
Today is still a rates-led tape, and the crypto bounce is real but does not look “free” while the 10Y is hovering near 4.3%. (Stooq)
A clean drop in yields would be the clearest signal for risk to extend, while sticky yields keep upside choppy and headline-sensitive. (Bloomberg)

What actually drove today’s tape
Crypto stayed glued to rates and broader risk tone today, with dip buyers stepping in but follow-through staying selective. (Reuters)
The U.S. 10Y yield held near 4.24%, which kept traders focused on “macro first” and made breakouts harder to sustain. (Investing.com)
Markets also leaned into today’s ISM manufacturing release window, which tends to inject volatility into yields and high-beta assets. (ISM)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Crypto-linked proxies continued to trade as clean beta to spot, with flows tracking BTC direction more than any single-company story. (Reuters)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)

Dow futures were little changed, suggesting a cautious tape rather than full de-risking. (Investing.com)

Rates stayed the macro gravity, with the U.S. 10Y around 4.24% today. (Investing.com)
With yields elevated, crypto can still bounce, but the market tends to demand cleaner catalysts to extend. (Reuters)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)

Today stayed rates-led: crypto bounced, but the market still treated yields as the main filter for risk-on follow-through. (Investing.com) (Reuters)
A durable move lower in the 10Y would be the cleanest “green light,” while yields near 4.24% keeps upside choppy and headline-sensitive. (Investing.com) (Reuters)

Crypto Market Update: BTC and ETH Slip as Rates Remain the Macro Driver (Feb 1, 2026)

Markets look like a “rates still in charge” grind, with crypto slipping as yields stay firm.

A snapshot of today’s market action, key levels to watch for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and what to expect from upcoming economic data.

Crypto snapshot
Bitcoin: ~$78,573, down about 5.0% on the day, range $77,082 to $82,734. (CoinGecko)
Ethereum: ~$2,541, down about 5.7%, range $2,490 to $2,697. (CoinGecko)
Solana: ~$105.68, up about 7.8%, range $100.65 to $114.68. (CoinGecko)

What actually drove today’s tape
Bitcoin stayed under pressure as traders weighed higher-for-longer rate risk and kept positioning light into the next policy and data catalysts. (Reuters)
Rates remained the macro gravity, with the U.S. 10-year yield holding around 4.25%, keeping risk appetite constrained. (TradingEconomics)
A firmer dollar and sticky yields have been a recurring headwind for risk assets, and crypto traded like part of that same bundle today. (Reuters)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
In the latest cash session, U.S. stocks ended lower, keeping the broader risk backdrop cautious for crypto-linked proxies into the weekend tape. (AP News)

Broader markets context (risk appetite)
U.S. stocks were closed today, but in the latest session the S&P 500 fell about 0.5%, the Dow fell about 0.8%, and the Nasdaq fell about 0.3%, which matters because weak equity tone often bleeds into crypto beta. (AP News)
The U.S. 10Y yield stayed elevated around 4.25%, and that keeps financial conditions tight enough that rallies tend to fade faster than they build. (TradingEconomics)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $80,000 is the psychological level; today’s $77,082 low is the first defend; reclaim $82,734 then $85,000 opens room toward $88,000.
ETH: Support sits near $2,490; reclaim $2,697 and then $2,800 would signal the bounce is sticking rather than fading.

What to watch next (next 24 to 36 hours)
Monday, February 2, 2026, 2:00 PM ET: Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices (SLOOS) (Federal Reserve)
Tuesday, February 3, 2026, 10:00 AM ET: Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) (BLS)
Tuesday, February 3, 2026, 1:00 PM ET: Treasury auctions and announcements window (Tentative Auction Schedule) (U.S. Treasury)

Today’s bottom line
Today was a rates-led risk-off day for crypto, with Bitcoin and Ethereum sliding while yields stayed firm. (Reuters) (TradingEconomics)
A clean drop in the 10Y would be the clearest “risk can breathe” signal, while yields near 4.25% keep upside choppy. (TradingEconomics)

What actually drove today’s tape
Crypto traded like a rates-sensitive risk asset today, with price action leaning defensive as yields stayed elevated and risk appetite wobbled. (Reuters)
The U.S. 10Y yield was around 4.26%, which kept upside attempts tight and made dips feel more persistent than opportunistic. (Stooq)
A stronger U.S. dollar and risk-off positioning into upcoming data kept high-beta coins lagging even when spot tried to stabilize. (Reuters)

“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Crypto-linked equities mostly traded as simple beta to spot today, with direction driven more by macro tone than any fresh sector catalyst. (Reuters)

U.S. stocks were mixed, with SPY, QQQ, and DIA giving a clean read that broader risk was not providing a strong tailwind for crypto today. (Market data)
Rates stayed the macro gravity, with the U.S. 10Y near 4.26% and the tape treating that level as a ceiling on risk rallies. (Stooq)

Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $85,000 is the psychological line; today’s $82,350 low is the first defend; reclaim $89,403 then $90,000 opens room toward $92,000 if follow-through shows up.
