Bitcoin Price at $67K: Is the Next Leg Down About to Start? – BTC TA February 18, 2026
Bitcoin is very close to falling down again. The price is right at the edge of a triangle and could be about to fall back to $60,000. Will Bitcoin make the drop? How far could it fall?
$BTC about to drop out of triangle?

The 4-hour chart for $BTC reveals a fairly precarious situation. The price is falling underneath the bottom trendline of a triangle, and although there is still time for the bulls to push the price back up, it isn’t currently looking good.
If the drop happens, the next support level is at $65,500, although the measured move out of the triangle could take the price below $60,000. There just does not seem to be any stamina where the bulls are concerned when it comes to pushing the price back up.
Extremely negative setup

The daily chart reveals that not all is lost yet. However, if the chart were turned upside down, we would be looking at a very bullish bull pennant. There wouldn’t be many who would be calling for that particular setup to breakdown. Therefore, as a bear pennant, a breakdown does look extremely likely.
Factor in that the $BTC price has recently lost major horizontal support, and the Stochastic RSI in the daily time frame is turning down, you have what looks like a recipe for more downside.
Huge tail to the downside provides some hope

In the higher time frame of the weekly, the tail down to $60,000 can still give the bulls some hope. This was quite some bottoming tail and in normal conditions a bounce back to the upside could probably be expected more often than not. Nevertheless, in the current environment back-filling the long tail down looks like a reasonably valid option.
Given that $53,000 is the full measured move out of the bear flag (in purple), this could be a possible target. That said, who knows when this will turn. A candle close back above $69,000 at the end of this week could turn the whole bearish mood around, but is this likely to happen?
