Bitcoin's performance in February was bleak, declining by 14.94%, marking the third-worst February performance in history, on par with the 17.39% drop on February 17, 2025, highlighting cyclical liquidity patterns. The price sharply fell below the short-term holder cost basis (around $89,900), causing an increasing amount of supply to realize losses and triggering $4 billion to $6 billion in realized losses, indicating that recent buyers are under pressure and beginning to sell. After a late-day sell-off, Bitcoin closed February at $66,980. The market stability now depends on new demand and institutional absorption to offset the growing supply of losses.
