MACRO WATCH | Feb 18, 2026 👇✨
Stocks ✅, Crypto ❌
S&P +1% | Nasdaq +1.4% | Dow +0.6% — capital is favoring “safe” growth over crypto.
Highlights:
Nvidia +2% (Meta AI deal)
Amazon +2.3% (Pershing stake up 65%)
Micron +6% (institutional buying)
Palo Alto -8% (weak guidance, software sector pressured)
Oil +3% (U.S.-Iran tensions)
Friday’s PCE data will be key:
Hot → crypto selling pressure
Soft → relief rally
Takeaway: Institutional money prefers equities. BTC & ETH bounces remain selling opportunities.
