Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds have recently seen their 14-day netflow trend swing back into positive territory, following a stretch of persistent outflows. According to Glassnode, this shift in ETF netflows has coincided with Bitcoin's rally above $70,000, while Binance's Net Taker Volume has also spiked close to $100 million in favor of buyers. Bitcoin is currently trading around $71,000, gaining more than 5% over the past week.

Analyst Ali Martinez noted that over the past decade Bitcoin has typically formed cycle lows when trading between the 1.0 and 0.8 MVRV pricing bands, which are now near $54,000 and $43,000. In the current cycle BTC has not dropped below the 1.0 band and has also stayed under the 2.4 and 3.2 bands, while trading around $73,000 with a weekly gain of more than 6%.

Analytics firm Santiment reports that social media discussions about "altseason" have recently fallen to extremely low levels, while Dogecoin is trading around $0.093. Over the past two years, high altseason social volume has often aligned with local tops for DOGE, whereas muted interest has tended to mark local bottoms. With the latest drop in this sentiment metric, Dogecoin could be positioned for a rebound, although Santiment cautions it should not be treated as a precise trading signal.

On-chain data indicates that Bitcoin long-term holders have recently seen their net position change turn less negative, suggesting that months of distribution from this cohort may be slowing. These investors, who acquired their coins more than 155 days ago, began net selling when BTC weakened in the last quarter of 2025 and intensified as the price fell toward $60,000. Selling pressure is still present but has diminished as Bitcoin trades near $68,500 after a failed push toward $70,000 that triggered significant profit-taking.

Analyst Ali Martinez has identified potential Solana support areas at $50.22, $22.47 and $9.98 by examining a Parallel Channel pattern on the asset's weekly chart. The upper band of this channel reportedly rejected SOL multiple times in 2025, and the coin is now trading around $81 after a 5.5% 24-hour drop. These levels align with 50%, 75% and 100% retracements within the channel and could become relevant if downside momentum continues.

According to analyst Ali Martinez, Bitcoin's 3-day chart is close to forming a death cross between the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages, a pattern that previously appeared in 2014, 2018, and 2022 before major drawdowns of more than 45%. The analyst estimates that, if current trajectories hold, this crossover could occur on February 27 and potentially mark the final downward phase of the ongoing bear market cycle, while Bitcoin now trades near $63,300 amid a realized loss regime on-chain.

Data from derivatives tracker CoinGlass shows that crypto exchanges liquidated about $507 million in positions over the past 24 hours, with roughly $438 million, or 86%, coming from long contracts. During this volatility, Bitcoin fell from $67,700 to $64,300 before rebounding, while its open interest dropped to $19.5 billion and bearish sentiment on social platforms climbed to a two-week high.

Bitcoin sentiment remains deep in extreme fear, with the Fear & Greed Index at 7 and stuck in that zone for 22 straight days. BTC has struggled to recover, trading around $67,700 after a bounce from $60,000. Thresholds mark fear below 47, greed above 53, and extreme bands at 25 and 75.

According to Santiment, wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC have trimmed their share of the circulating supply by 0.8% since October, pushing it to the lowest level since May 2025. Meanwhile, 0 to 0.01 BTC addresses added 2.5%, reaching the highest since June 2024, as mid-tier balances split: 0.01–1 BTC up 1.05% and 1–10 BTC down 0.49%. Bitcoin trades near $67,400, up 0.7% on the week.
