**Dead Cat Bounce… or the Real Bottom? Bitcoin Bulls Confront a Brutal Crossroads**
Bitcoin stepped into February 11, 2026 like a high-wire act — balancing between optimism and overhead pressure.
Trading at $67,131 with a towering $1.34 trillion market cap, BTC danced within a volatile intraday range of $66,351 to $69,876. On the surface, the $46.24 billion in 24-hour volume looks explosive — the kind of number that usually signals conviction.
But here’s the twist.
The volume is loud.
The momentum? Not so much.
Price is hovering in that uncomfortable zone where hope and hesitation collide. Bulls are searching for confirmation that this is the beginning of a sustainable rebound. Bears are quietly asking whether this is just another classic “dead cat bounce” before gravity takes over again.
The tape is active. The liquidity is flowing.
Yet the follow-through remains cautious.
For now, Bitcoin isn’t celebrating — it’s negotiating.
And the market is waiting to see which side blinks first.
