If you have the stomach for it, here are the best candidates for a long position today, February 20, 2026, ahead of the high-impact US macro data (PCE Inflation) release.
PAX Gold (PAXG)
While the rest of the market is bleeding, PAXG is up 2.1% today. As institutional investors de-risk from volatile assets, they are parking capital in tokenized gold.
Breaking out of a 4-hour bull flag. If the upcoming PCE inflation data comes in "hot," gold (and PAXG) typically rallies as a hedge.
Entry Zone: $4,970 – $4,985
Target: $5,150 (Psychological resistance)
Stop-Loss: $4,890 (Below the daily opening price)
Bitcoin (BTC)
BTC is currently trading at a historic discount from its trend line. Historically, when BTC is this far below its 200-day MA, a "relief rally" of 5–10% is imminent to catch its breath.
A "bullish divergence" is forming on the 1-hour RSI. Bitcoin is holding the $67,500 area despite heavy liquidation volume.
Entry Zone: $67,800 – $68,200
Target: $72,400 (Retest of the broken 50-day EMA)
Stop-Loss: $65,800 (Just below the February 18th "wick" low)
