Bitcoin bulls spot bottoming signs as longtime bears take victory laps

Crypto prices today, on Tuesday, February 11, 2026, took a sharp turn for the worse. Major coins traded in the red zone as a high-stakes meeting at the White House failed to produce a deal on crypto laws. This lack of progress in Washington is creating a wave of worry for investors.

Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen to the $67,000 price level, dragging the rest of the market down with it. Most top altcoins of the world have slipped more than 3%. The global crypto market cap is down by 2.86% to $2.31 trillion at press time. Crypto news today is dominated by a sense of deep-seated fragility, as activity in long-dormant Satoshi-linked wallets and Indian crypto regulatory discussions further fuel volatility.
Bitcoin Price Falls 3.17%
Bitcoin price today dropped 3.17% to $67,539.48, failing to hold the $70,000 level that many traders hoped would act as support. For those keeping score, we are now roughly 50% off the October 2025 highs of $126,000. The buy-the-dip crowd is finding it harder to find a footing as global regulatory uncertainties continue.

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC pulled back toward the $68,500 region before dip buyers quickly stepped in to stabilize prices after a brief move lower. The recovery that followed has been measured, with BTC continuing to trade below the $70,000 level. For now, BTC appears to be digesting recent moves, likely trading between $68,500 support and $70,000 resistance until a clearer breakout sets the next direction.”
