February 12 News, in 2026, Hedera (HBAR) is facing a new round of downward pressure. Affected by weakening on-chain indicators and the overall sluggishness of the crypto market, its price has been continuously declining since early January. Data shows that HBAR has recently fallen about 5.66%, with a year-to-date decline of over 30%. As one of the top market cap digital assets, its retracement since the peak in July last year has approached 70%, and the long-term trend remains under pressure.
On-chain fundamentals also signal caution. According to DeFiLlama data, the total value locked (TVL) on the Hedera network has dropped from $146 million in July last year to approximately $57.2 million, a significant decline. Meanwhile, the weekly revenue of dApps within the network has decreased by nearly 70% from the mid-October high. The simultaneous cooling of developer activity and user engagement has weakened the ecosystem’s attractiveness to capital and dampened market confidence.
Institutional support is also lacking. Funds flowing into US-based Hedera-related spot funds have noticeably slowed, with almost no new inflows in the past three weeks, aside from a small inflow on February 6. Compared to products related to SOL and XRP, which still maintain high attention, institutional demand for HBAR appears relatively weak.
From a technical perspective, HBAR has broken below the key psychological level of $0.10 and remains constrained by the downward trend line formed since October last year. The super trend indicator has turned red, and the MACD is below the zero line, indicating bearish momentum. If selling pressure continues, the next significant support level is around $0.073, leaving approximately 20% downside potential from the current price.
Under the dual pressures of macro uncertainty and on-chain data, Hedera’s short-term trend remains defensive, with the market awaiting new fundamentals or capital catalysts.

Deribit executive warns of continued Bitcoin bear market: BTC price outlook bleak if it doesn't return to $85,000
On February 13, Deribit, a derivatives exchange, Chief Business Officer Jean-David Péquignot stated at the Hong Kong Consensus Conference that the long-term upward trend of Bitcoin has been "broken," and unless the price returns above $85,000, the market remains biased downward. Over the past week, Bitcoin has fluctuated between $60,000 and $70,000, down about 45% from its all-time high in October last year, recently approaching $66,600, indicating it is still in a bear market phase and may face further correction pressure.
Péquignot pointed out that breaking above $85,000 would confirm buyers' control of the market and absorb all long-term downward pressure. However, before that, technical charts show the downward path remains relatively smooth, with $60,000 seen as an important psychological support level. If Bitcoin fails to hold this level, the 200-week simple moving average (SMA) at around $58,000 will become a potential final support, as many historical bear market lows have approached this moving average, making it a key bottoming area for long-term investors.

Whale sells 12,000 BTC in a single day! Bitcoin volatility soars, can the $60,000 support hold?
On February 13, Bitcoin's price volatility significantly accelerated after months of sideways trading, entering a high-risk zone. On-chain data shows that between February 5 and 6, Bitcoin first plummeted 14.3%, then quickly rebounded 12.2%, forming intense fluctuations in a short period, with both longs and shorts experiencing large-scale liquidations.
Statistics from Alphractal indicate that 30-day and 180-day volatility have risen simultaneously. Such scenarios often occur after a prolonged period of low volatility, suggesting that the market may be shifting from "consolidation" to "rapid directional movement." For high leverage traders, this back-and-forth price movement greatly increases liquidation risks.

Russia's return to USD settlement triggers market turbulence. Can Bitcoin brew a reversal above $60,000?
February 13 News, geopolitical tensions continue to impact global risk assets. Since the beginning of this week, financial market capitalization has evaporated by approximately $120 billion, with major stock indices retreating to pre-election levels. Amid rising risk aversion, gold initially rebounded but experienced a 3.19% decline on February 12, indicating that market sentiment is still rapidly shifting.
On the same trading day, Bitcoin fell by 1.2%, and the U.S. stock market's S&P 500 index dropped by 1.57%, showing a synchronized weakening trend. Bloomberg reported that Russia is re-expanding the use of the US dollar in cross-border settlements, a move seen as an important signal for the global currency landscape. From a technical perspective, the US dollar index, after more than a year of correction, has returned to the 2022 range, and the potential for a rebound could enhance the attractiveness of dollar assets.

Bitcoin price approaches a key support level. Can BTC rebound 23.6% to challenge the 50-day moving average?
February 13 News, Bitcoin prices continue to fluctuate near a critical support zone. The short-term downtrend has not yet reversed, but technical indicators show the market is under high tension, and a rebound window is brewing. As of press time, Bitcoin is trading around $66,381, down approximately 1.7% in the past 24 hours, with intraday volatility significantly increasing, reaching a high of $68,300 before quickly falling back to the $65,200 range. It is currently hovering around $66,000.
From a multi-timeframe perspective, short-term momentum remains weak, with declines in the 1-hour, 24-hour, and 7-day charts. The 14-day and 30-day periods have each fallen more than 20% and 30%, respectively, indicating that medium-term selling pressure still dominates. The daily chart structure remains in a bearish trend, with prices well below major moving averages. The 50-day moving average is at $82,024, and the 100-day moving average is above $88,526. To retest the 50-day moving average, Bitcoin needs to rise approximately 23.6% from the current price, which is also considered the most important dynamic resistance zone at present.
