#MarketRebound The crypto market on this Monday, February 16, 2026, is currently navigating a period of "Extreme Fear" (index at 14) and indecision. After a rocky start to the month, Bitcoin is hovering around the $61,000 – $65,000 range, with analysts watching for a definitive break above $79,500 to signal a trend reversal.
Despite the current volatility, institutional sentiment (including recent reports from JPMorgan) remains bullish for 2026, targeting "altseason" as regulatory clarity improves. Here are the hot coins and narratives currently trending:
1. The "Big Three" (Stability Seekers)
While they have faced recent corrections, these remain the primary focus for recovery:
Bitcoin (BTC): Consolidating below major moving averages. Support is solidifying around $58,950, while resistance stands at $72,390.
Ethereum (ETH): Trading near $2,100 – $2,700. Whales have been accumulating throughout January, and the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade (mid-2026) is expected to push performance to 10,000 TPS.
Solana (SOL): Currently one of the "weakest" in terms of recent price action but high in interest. The Alpenglow mainnet launch (Q1 2026) aims for 150ms finality, keeping it a top candidate for a rebound.$BTC
