đš Is the "Institutional Dip" Over? BlackRock Moves $257M! đ
The crypto market is feeling the heat this Monday, February 16, 2026, as Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH) face a wave of volatility. The big story shaking the feeds today? BlackRock just transferred a staggering $257 Million in BTC and ETH to Coinbase.
đ Whatâs Happening?
While the market cap has seen a slide from the $120k+ highs of last year, todayâs liquidations totaling over $342 Million have traders on high alert. Many are asking: is this a massive sell-off, or just institutional "spring cleaning" (ETF rebalancing)?
âą BTC Price Action: Currently stabilizing around $70,000, a key psychological level.
âą The ETH Factor: Ethereum is feeling the pressure more than BTC today, with higher long liquidations.
âą The "Silver Lining": While the majors are red, we're seeing a rotation into Real-World Assets (RWAs) and Layer-2 infrastructure.
đĄ Strategy Check
History shows that when the "Big Boys" move funds, retail panicsâbut smart money watches the levels. With Bitcoin dominance still sitting at 58%, the "Digital Gold" narrative is being tested by macro uncertainty and the negative "Coinbase Premium."
Are you buying the fear or waiting for a deeper bottom? đ
