Bitcoin fell for a fifth consecutive month in February 2026, with its price hovering near $67,000 after failing to break above the $70,000 resistance level. Three key weekly resistance levels now block a bullish breakout: the 200-week EMA (~$68,330), the 2021 high at $69,000, and the $70,000 psychological barrier. The 14% monthly decline increases the risk of a five-month losing streak—the longest since late 2018. Analysts note that a weekly close above the 200-week EMA could shift support and resistance dynamics in favor of bulls. A move above $74,500, a critical cost zone, may signal the end of the bear market. Historical patterns suggest a potential reversal could occur in April if the 2018–2019 trend repeats.

BlockBeats report: On February 27, Bitcoin's price encountered resistance at the $70,000 psychological level and is currently trading around $67,000. Technically, BTC is facing triple weekly-level resistance: the 200-week EMA (approximately $68,330), the 2021 historical high of $69,000, and the $70,000 psychological barrier, limiting near-term upside potential.


Since February, BTC has declined approximately 14%, potentially marking its fifth consecutive monthly close lower—the first such streak since the late 2018 bear market. Analysts suggest that if the weekly chart can sustainably rise above the 200-week EMA, bulls may regain momentum and test the $80,000 level.


Another perspective suggests that a breakout above $74,500—the 18–24 month holding cost range—could be seen as a significant signal of the end of the bear market. Historical data shows that after five consecutive months of declines from 2018 to 2019, BTC subsequently experienced five consecutive monthly gains, posting a gain of over 300%. If this cycle repeats, the potential reversal window may point to April.
