The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index turned positive after nearly two months in the red, with BTC priced at least $10 higher on Coinbase than on Binance. On February 25, 2026, Bitcoin traded at $67,151.18, up 5.98% in 24 hours. Analysts cautioned this is not a full trend reversal, but it points to rising U.S. interest.

Bitcoin rose from about $64,000 to above $66,000 on Tuesday evening, marking an intraday gain of roughly 3.5% as traders watched President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech and broader market moves. Analysts said the main focus was Nvidia's upcoming earnings and improving risk sentiment, with Bitcoin now testing resistance near $66,400 while still trading well below its October peak around $126,000.

Over the past three weeks, Bitcoin has retreated from $70,524 to around $64,074, while the last 24 hours saw price oscillate between roughly $62,800 and $66,200 and then reclaim the $65,000 area. At the same time, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $257.7 million net inflow on Tuesday, sharply above their long‑run daily average, even as Deribit’s 7‑day put‑call skew slid from -6% to -17% as traders aggressively bid for downside protection. If bulls can hold $65,000 and keep ETF flows positive, the market may be attempting to build a local bottom, though elevated hedging and tariff‑driven macro uncertainty still threaten a slide toward lower support levels near $61,000 and $56,048.

A solo Bitcoin miner independently solved a full block on February 25, receiving a payout of 3.128 BTC valued at roughly $197,000. On-chain data shows that the reward combined the standard block subsidy with a smaller portion of transaction fees, underscoring how rare it is for an individual miner to compete with large pools. The event follows a similar solo mining windfall earlier in the month, highlighting Bitcoin’s probabilistic and permissionless mining design.

After a brief pop above $66,000 following U.S. President Donald Trump's State of the Union address, Coinbase Institutional says Bitcoin's setup still skews lower, with a negative gamma band between $60,000 and $70,000 and dense support near $60,000. The firm identifies $82,000 as the first key resistance, with positive gamma pockets near $85,000–$90,000.

Bitcoin climbed back toward $66,000 after Tuesday's advance in United States equities, with tech and AI stocks leading the move. The recovery coincided with a positive flip in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index and $258 million in ETF net inflows, signaling renewed demand from U.S. traders. Onchain data also shows Bitcoin's correlation with both the S&P 500 and gold at multi‑year lows, which some analysts say could precede substantial upside if the relationship normalizes.

Bitcoin climbed back above $66,000, touching $66,300 before consolidating, according to TradingView. The move on Feb. 25, 2026 sparked debate over claims of a Jane Street 10am ET sell program, which the firm dismissed, while traders flagged thin order books and $333 million in 24-hour liquidations with $213 million from shorts.

On Tuesday, CryptoQuant analyst "Darkfost" said Bitcoin is nearing the long-term holder cost basis around $38,900, with LTH profits averaging about 74% and narrowing. Glassnode also noted the 90-day Realized Profit/Loss Ratio dropped below 1, while early Wednesday in Asia BTC briefly rebounded $2,000 to $66,000 amid broader bearish signals.
