$BTC $XRP $SOL Trading cryptocurrencies is not a casino and not quick money. It is a high-risk profession where 90–95 % of newcomers lose their deposit in the first year. But if you approach the matter with a cool head and a clear system — you can earn steadily.

#CryptoMarketMoves 🚀 Daily Market Update: Cosmos is the star of the day, Raydium is soaring!
While Bitcoin is taking a break, altcoins are trying to seize the initiative. Here are the main crypto market highlights from the past 24 hours:
📊 Figures of the day: • Total capitalization: $2.36 trillion (+0.36%) • Trading volume: $216.88 billion (+0.36%) • BTC dominance: 57.91% (-0.70%)
🏆 Top performers: 🌟 Coin of the Day: Cosmos ($ATOM ) Thanks to a solid growth of +7.77%, ATOM became the main hero of the day. The price is now $2.28. Technical indicators indicate neutral sentiment, but activity around the ecosystem is growing.
🔥 Raydium (RAY): A real rocket of the day! Growth of +9.60%. Solana-DeFi continues to show strength. 📈 Trust Wallet Token ($TWT ): Added +7.23%, establishing itself in the top gainers.
📉 What about the leaders? • Bitcoin (#BTC ): Trades at $68,225. A slight decrease of -0.25% per day. Bears are trying to put pressure, but the market is holding steady. • Ethereum (#ETH ): Looks better than its "big brother" - growth of +0.85%, price - $1,974.62.
⚠️ Bearish mood? Despite individual leaders, the overall picture of the day is in favor of the bears: 75% of coins lost in price. The most "lost": • Official Trump: -3.70% • Basic Attention Token ($BAT ): -2.93% • Stargate Finance (STG): in the top five outsiders.
🚀 Interesting fact: Hyperliquid Protocol broke into the Top 10 by market capitalization, pushing competitors!
#TokenUnlock 🔓TokenUnlock – February 18, 2026 🔓 $ACE $BARD 📌 What does this mean for the market? ✅ Supply growth – new tokens are released into free circulation. ⚖️ This can put pressure on the price due to possible oversupply.
📈 Investors are closely watching the event, as unlocking sometimes opens up both new opportunities for accumulation and risks for short-term traders.

#Morpho 📉 Morpho ($MORPHO ): Short-term growth or preparation for a fall?
The crypto market is currently dominated by "Extreme Fear" (Index: 12), but Morpho shows character. Let's figure out what is happening with the price and what to expect until February 21.
📊 Current indicators (as of 02/16/2026): • Price: $1.34 (+3.54% per day) • Relative to BTC: +3.92% (outperforms the market) • Trend for the month: +1.26% (positive dynamics against the background of general stagnation)
🔍 Technical analysis: Signal struggle Despite today's growth, forecasts remain cautious: • 5-day forecast: A decrease to $1.04 (-23.32%) is expected. • Market sentiment: Bullish. 19 indicators give a signal to buy, 6 — to sell. • Support levels: $1.27, $1.20, $1.11 • Resistance levels: $1.42, $1.50, $1.57
💡 What does this mean for investors? Morpho is currently trading above its 200-day moving average (SMA 200), which is a good sign in the long term. However, short-term oscillators (such as Stoch RSI) are already signaling overbought ("SELL") conditions, confirming the possibility of a correction in the near future.
#bitcoin 📉$BTC on the verge of a historic anti-record: 6 weeks left
The crypto market is entering a turbulent zone. If February closes in the "red zone", we will have a fifth consecutive month of decline - the longest series of failures since 2018. March will be the moment of truth: either a reversal, or an official repetition of the worst period in BTC history.
What is happening to the "digital gold"? Bitcoin is currently trading around $68,800, which is almost 45% below the October peak of $126,000. The market has changed: after the appearance of spot ETFs, Bitcoin began to correlate with the macroeconomics and Fed rates. Over the past 3 weeks, net outflows from ETFs have been around $2 billion.
🗺 Three scenarios for the next 4–12 weeks:
1. ⚖️ Stabilization (Sidewalk): • Condition: Slowing outflows from ETFs, protection of the support zone by buyers. • Levels: Maintaining the corridor $66,900 – $70,600.
2. 🐻 Deep dive (Deleveraging): • Condition: Surrender at current levels, continuation of the Fed’s “high rates” policy. • Levels: Test $60,000, with a potential drop to the “realized price” of $55,800. Some analysts (Barron’s) see the bottom of the cycle around $49,000.
3. 🚀 Reclaim: • Condition: Return of institutional capital and softening of the rhetoric of macro regulators. • Target: Consolidation above $80,200.
⚠️ Extreme Forecasts Ned Davis Research analysts warn that if the current cycle repeats the classic "cryptozyme" scenario (84% drop), the price could slide to $31,000. Zacks strategists also do not rule out a path to $40,000 in the event of worsening liquidity.
#Ripple 💎 $XRP : Institutional Accumulation Against the Background of Minimum Exchange Reserves
While the price of XRP consolidates around $1.49, fundamental indicators signal serious preparation for the next surge. The market has cleared of rumors, and large players continue to “vacuum” the supply.
📉 Binance reserves at the minimum of 2024 On-chain data is impressive: XRP reserves on Binance fell to 2.5 billion coins. • For comparison: in November 2024 there were over 3.2 billion. • What does this mean? The withdrawal of 700 million tokens to cold wallets indicates long-term accumulation and reduced pressure from sellers.
🏛 Goldman Sachs and SBI: Institutional Foundation The era of “crypto-skepticism” is finally over: • Goldman Sachs officially disclosed a $152 million position in the XRP ETF (as of Q4 2025). This is about 14% of all net inflows into XRP funds for the year. • SBI Holdings has dotted the "i": the company owns 9% of Ripple Labs shares (worth ~$4.5 billion), and not the tokens themselves. This is a strategic bet on the ecosystem and infrastructure, which is even more important for the stability of the network.
🔮 Forecast and key levels (according to CoinCodex): • Short-term: Stabilization in the range of $1.52 - $1.53 is expected in February-March. • Medium-term: A break above $1.55 will open the way to $1.80. • Summer 2026: Forecast for August - $2.11 (+42%), with a possible peak in July to $2.19.
⚠️ Critical zone: It is important to hold support at $1.45. A close below this mark may temporarily break the bullish structure.
#Monad 📉 Monad ($MON ): Short-term growth or preparation for correction?
While the market is in a state of "extreme fear" (Index: 12), Monad demonstrates local resilience, but technical indicators hint at a difficult week.
📊 Current figures (February 16, 2026): • Current price: $0.023425 (+3.64% per day). • Dynamics: MON outperformed the market, growing by 4.42% against BTC and by 2.82% against ETH. • Monthly trend: +3.26%, but in annual terms the coin is still in the red by 14.29%.
🔮 Forecast until February 21: Analytical models expect the price to fall to $0.017961 within the next 5 days. This is a possible decrease of 23.33% from current levels. Why is this so? 1. Technical Signals: Most oscillators (Stoch RSI, Williams %R) are signaling overbought (SELL). 2. MA Pressure: The price is currently trading below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, confirming the global bearish trend. 3. Levels to Watch: • 🛡 Support: $0.0227, $0.0214, $0.0206. • 🚀 Resistance: $0.0247, $0.0256, $0.0268.
🏗 What keeps the project afloat? Despite the price volatility, the Monad ecosystem continues to grow: • 🚀 Nitro accelerator launched with a fund of $7.5 million for developers. • 🛠 Implementation of the RaptorCast protocol to improve the speed of block transmission. • 🔒 50.6% of tokens are locked up until 2029, which reduces the risk of a massive "drain" from the team and investors.
⚠️ Conclusion: The market sentiment is neutral, but with a strong bias towards caution due to general fear. If MON fails to hold the $0.0227 level, a scenario with a pullback to $0.018 becomes very likely.
#solana 🚀 Solana ($SOL ) at a Crossroads: The Battle for $80 and the Road to $114
The Solana market is currently in a tense silence. After prolonged bearish pressure, the price has settled at $83.96, turning the $80 zone into a real battlefield between buyers and sellers.
📉 Technical picture: Bearish signal or base for a rebound? The daily timeframe clearly shows the development of the Head and Shoulders pattern. The breakthrough of the neckline near $100 led to a change in the market structure to a bearish one. • Support: If buyers fail to hold the $76–$80 level, the next stop may be the $50–$60 macro zone. • Resistance: To resume the bullish trend, SOL needs to consolidate above $89.5, and then storm the psychological level of $100.
📊 Derivatives: “Shorts” flooded the market An interesting signal comes from the futures market - the funding rate has remained negative for 16 consecutive days.
💎 Fundamentals and ETFs Despite price volatility, the ecosystem continues to develop: • Staking payouts: 21Shares announced a payout of $0.316871 per share for its Solana ETF (TSOL). This highlights institutional interest and the viability of the network’s profitability model. • Forecast: Analysts (including CoinCodex) expect a gradual recovery. If the $80 support holds, the $114.35 target remains relevant until March-April.
🏁 Summary Solana is currently at a tipping point. Holding current levels could be the start of a powerful rally to $125+ by mid-2026. However, a loss of $76 would open the way for a deeper correction.
#etf 📉 Bitcoin in a vice: should we wait for a volatility "explosion"?
The cryptocurrency market is currently dominated by fatigue, not panic, but the calm may be before the storm. Here are the main theses from the latest analyst report:
1. Institutions are cashing in 💸 The past week has been painful for ETFs: • $BTC -ETF: $360 million outflow • $ETH -ETF: $161 million outflow • Interesting move: Harvard University reduced its stake in Bitcoin by 21%, but instead opened a position in Ethereum for $87 million.
2. Price levels and pressure 📊 Bitcoin is trading around $68,600, failing to consolidate above the psychological level of $70,000. • Bearish scenario: CryptoQuant and Standard Chartered analysts suggest a possible drop to $50,000 before the market finds a real bottom. • Reality: The price is now significantly lower than the average purchase price of "short-term holders" ($94,000), which creates constant psychological pressure on beginners.
3. The trap for "shorters" 🪤 The derivatives market looks asymmetric. There are too many "shorts" (bets on the drop) in the market right now.
4. Hope on the horizon? ✨ Despite the price drop, on-chain metrics resemble the beginning of 2022: coins are gradually moving from "weak hands" to long-term holders. The market is accumulating strength.
⚠️ Conclusion: The current first quarter may be the worst for BTC since 2015. However, high volatility has not disappeared anywhere - the next impulse will be "strong and aggressive" in both directions.
#Binance 🛡️ Binance denies allegations: Another scandal surrounding sanctions and dismissals
Crypto giant Binance is at the center of a new investigation by Fortune. You are talking about alleged violations of the sanctions regime against Iran and the dismissal of employees who tried to point this out.
🔍 What is the essence of Fortune's allegations? • $1 billion in transactions: It is alleged that from March 2024 to August 2025, funds related to Iranian entities (mainly the USDT stablecoin on the Tron network) passed through the platform. • Inspectors fired: According to a source, at least 5 of the following Binance employees (former law enforcement officers) were fired after documenting these transactions. • Personnel outflow: Several top managers from the compliance department have reportedly left in recent months.
🚫 Binance’s response: “This is absolutely false” Binance CEO Richard Teng and exchange officials have made a stark simplification: 1. No violations: An internal audit involving external lawyers found no violations of sanctions laws. 2. Employee protection: The company assures that no one was fired for reporting compliance risks. 3. Fulfillment of obligations: Binance emphasizes that it continues to work closely with regulators as part of the 2023 agreements (when the exchange paid a $4.3 billion fine).
📉 Why is this important? After a deal with US authorities in 2023 and a prison sentence for founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance is coming under the “microscope” of regulators. Any new convictions for circumventing sanctions could jeopardize the exchange’s legitimacy and lead to new billion-dollar fines.
Current price ≈ 0.1155 USDT +59.15% rise, sharp rally from ~0.069–0.084 lows, accelerating upside with green candles.
Price action & Bollinger Bands: Price near upper BB (UP ~0.13000, MB ~0.10650, DN ~0.08300). Bands expanded on up move, price hugging upper band — overbought extension, potential short-term pullback/consolidation.
Volumes: Current ~10.97M, MA(5) ~409M, MA(10) ~328M — volume spike on recent green candles (strong buying pressure), now elevated on upside. Watch for dry-up on dips or surge on green.
Key indicators: • MACD: Strongly positive (DIF 0.009917, DEA 0.008883, MACD 0.00034), histogram bullish — momentum up. • RSI(6/12/24): 57.39 / 61.27 / 63.79 — approaching overbought (RSI6 near 60, longer >60), exhaustion/pullback signal possible. Uptrend with overbought conditions + upper BB hug suggest short-term pullback likely before next leg up. 🟢 Long (moderate-high risk) Entry: 0.112–0.116 (current or dip to MB) TP1: 0.125–0.130 TP2: 0.135–0.140 SL: 0.108–0.110 R/R: ~1:3+ Comment: Good if RSI pullback + volume on green. Momentum favors continuation/scalp on dip.
🔴 Short (moderate risk) Entry: 0.125–0.130 (fade at upper extension/resistance) TP1: 0.115–0.112 TP2: 0.105–0.100 SL: 0.133+ R/R: ~1:3+ Comment: Strong if rejection at resistance + MACD divergence. Counter-trend if overextension fades.
⚠️ Most likely scenario now Short-term pullback/consolidation from overbought levels (RSI>60 on longer, upper BB hug) towards MB (~0.106–0.110) or slightly lower. Then possible continuation higher if strong volume support. Longs have structural edge in explosive uptrend; shorts only on clear rejection signals. High vol — tight risk, watch RSI/volume closely.
#Kaia 📉 $KAIA under pressure: should we expect a drop to $0.043?
Today, February 16, 2026, the Kaia token (KAIA) is showing negative dynamics, having lost more than 5.5% of its value over the past 24 hours. Against the background of the general cooling of the market, Kaia looks weaker than the leaders - the drop against Bitcoin was -3.53%.
🔍 Key figures for today: • Current price: $0.057327 • 5-day forecast: a decrease to $0.043841 (-22.98%) is expected. • Market sentiment: Bearish. • Fear and Greed Index: 12 (Extreme Fear).
📊 Technical picture Most indicators (68%) point to a further decline. Although the price is still holding above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages (which is usually a bullish signal), the general market pessimism is weighing on the quotes.
Levels to watch: 🛡 Support: $0.05598, $0.05411, $0.05137 🚀 Resistance: $0.06059, $0.06333, $0.06520 💡 What does this mean for investors?
The “Extreme Fear” level is often considered a moment to look for entry points, but technical forecasts advise caution. Kaia has lost over 56% of its value in the year, and the asset is currently in a high volatility zone.
📈Cryptocurrency Scalping: A Complete Guide to Strategies, Indicators, and Risks📉
Scalping is one of the most dynamic trading styles in the cryptocurrency market. Its essence lies in extracting small profits from numerous trades throughout the day. While medium-term traders may wait for target prices for weeks, scalpers execute dozens or even hundreds of operations, holding positions for a few seconds to a few minutes.
#bitcoin 📉 Bitcoin: Bottom or path to the abyss? On-chain data analysis
$BTC is currently at a "critical point". CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn has analyzed whether the current decline is a final capitulation or just a zone of profitable purchases.
Here are the main points from his latest report: 1. ETF pressure 🏗️ The outflow of funds from spot ETFs reached $8.2 billion - a record in history. The average entry price of ETF owners is now 17% higher than the market. This creates "structural pressure", as some investors are forced to close positions in the red.
2. Large-scale market clearing (Deleveraging) 🧹 The speculative "bubble" is deflating: • Open interest (OI) fell from $45.5 billion to $21.7 billion. • OI decreased by 27% in the last week alone.
3. The maximum pain of short-term holders 🤕 The MVRV for short-term holders has fallen to 0.72. This means that "newbies" have an average loss of -28%. The last time such low levels (and such a level of stress) were observed during the bottom in July 2022.
4. When to expect a real reversal? 📅 Maartunn believes that the bottom is not a one-day event, but a process of "grinding". • Time window: Historical cycles indicate the period between June and December 2026 (with a peak probability in September-November). • Leading indicator: Apathy. When social media activity subsides and the news feed becomes "dead" - this will be the point of maximum opportunity.
Verdict: The data hints at a bottom forming, but the process could be long and tedious.
#CryptoMarketMoves 📉 Crypto Market Review: Bears are pressing, but Helium and Venice Token are bucking the trend
Today, February 16, 2026, the market is in the red zone. The total capitalization fell by -2.91% and is $2.35 trillion. Over 88% of coins have lost value in the last 24 hours.

Technical indicators indicate neutral sentiment, but the asset is showing strong resilience. 3. Bittensor (TAO): Closes the top three with confident growth.
🔻 Who is in the red today (Top Losers): The owners of the following assets suffered the most: • Compound ($COMP ): -15.65% • Pi Network (PI): -12.51% • LayerZero ($ZRO ): Also on the list of outsiders.

💡 Conclusion: Currently, the asset is showing high volatility (19.15%) and is trading well below its 200-day moving average. Despite the fact that some indicators (such as RSI) hint at an oversold zone, the overall selling pressure remains dominant.
