Just noticed BTC took another hit and dropped below 66k earlier this week. Seems like the Fed minutes spooked everyone again with talk of potential rate hikes coming back on the table. U.S. stocks have been losing momentum too, which usually drags crypto down with it.



Looking at the bitcoin price action from February 18, 2026, you could see the pressure building. When the Fed starts hinting at more tightening, risk assets tend to get hit pretty hard. The correlation between stock market weakness and bitcoin selling is still pretty tight.

Wondering if we'll see a bounce from here or if there's more downside. Either way, these Fed signals are definitely something to watch closely right now.
