📈 Crypto Market News – February 24, 2026
- Market Overview: Tuesday Trend Continuation
The crypto market is maintaining its strong upward trajectory this Tuesday. The global crypto market cap has expanded to $3.88 Trillion.
Sentiment: Volatility remains relatively low, which is a bullish indicator of a steady, spot-driven market. Institutional buyers are consistently stepping in during minor intraday pullbacks across US and European trading sessions.
- Bitcoin (BTC) Eyes $107k
Bitcoin continues its methodical climb, currently trading near $106,400.
Technical: After securing the $105,000 level as robust support over the weekend, BTC is now slowly grinding toward the next local resistance at $107,000. Options market data suggests traders are heavily positioned for a continued gradual ascent rather than explosive, short-term spikes.
- Ethereum (ETH) Defends $4,300
Ethereum is showing tremendous relative strength, trading comfortably around $4,320.
On-Chain: The staking ratio continues to climb, effectively reducing the liquid supply available on exchanges. Combined with a consistently high burn rate from network activity, ETH is exhibiting strong deflationary characteristics that are attracting long-term capital allocators.
- Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Resurgence
Major DeFi protocols are experiencing a significant resurgence in volume today.
Trend: "Blue-chip" DeFi tokens from previous cycles are seeing double-digit percentage gains. As Bitcoin and Ethereum become increasingly expensive, retail and institutional yield-farmers are rotating capital into established decentralized lending and borrowing platforms to maximize their returns.
- Macro Focus: Anticipating PCE Data
The broader financial markets are trading cautiously ahead of Thursday's US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation report.
Outlook: Crypto traders are closely monitoring the DXY (US Dollar Index) and Treasury yields. A favorable (lower-than-expected) PCE print could provide the macroeconomic tailwind needed to push Bitcoin toward the $110,000 psychological threshold by the end of the week.
