Crypto news for today (February 9, 2026) ⚠️📉
Bitcoin bounced back to ~$70,700–71,000 (+2–2.5% in 24 hours) after a sharp correction and a drop below $69k (and according to some reports even closer to $60k at the lows). This looks like a countertrend rally — a bounce after strong capitulation, short-covering, and the washing out of weak hands in derivatives.
BTC is now ~$70,700–71,200 (day opening ~$70,300, high ~$71,300, low ~$70,000+)
Volumes remain high, but fresh capital is not yet entering en masse — the bounce may quickly run out of steam.
ETH, SOL, XRP also bounced back (some +10–25% from local lows), but altcoins are still in the risk zone.
Analysts (Matrixport and others) warn: technically there is room for another rise, but without the influx of new money, this is just a temporary bounce. Many expect a breakdown — possibly testing $60–65k or even deeper, if the patterns of past cycles repeat (Relative Unrealized Loss at the peak, many holders in the red).
The market is in a phase of high uncertainty — the crypto winter hasn’t gone anywhere, and the 'bullish' narrative is in question. Is this a bounce or a trap before a new dump? 💥
