: BTC Back Above $70K—Real Recovery or Dead-Cat Bounce?

February 15, 2026—after dipping near sixty-k early this month (that brutal $8.7B wipeout), Bitcoin's clawed back to seventy-k-plus. Spot price hovering around seventy-thousand-five-hundred right now, up about one-point-six percent in twenty-four hours.

What sparked it? Cooler CPI data (we talked about that), ETF inflows ticking up again—whales accumulating quietly while retail shakes out. Market cap's at two-point-four-one trillion, up half a percent daily. Altcoins like ETH and PEPE riding the wave too—meme rally vibes strong.

But dig deeper: This isn't euphoria. Volume's meh, RSI cooling from overbought. We're in a compression zone—seventy-two-k resistance looms, sixty-five-k support below. If it holds seventy, next leg could test seventy-five-k. Break down? Back to sixty-k fast.

Crypto twist: Institutional flow's the real driver—BlackRock, CME futures expanding. Long-term, this "rebound" feels like breathing room after January's hangover. Not a bull run—yet.

Stay sharp: Position for chop, not moon.
