Bitcoin flipped a small but notable technical switch this week when the Coinbase premium moved back above zero, ending a run of negative readings that began after heavy selling on February 6. Related Reading: XRP Fell Nearly 70% — Could History Repeat With An 835% Surge? Coinbase Premium Flips Above Zero According to market data published on February 23, 2026, Bitcoin was trading around $66,150 on Binance futures at one point, showing a brief hourly uptick of 0.40%. Yet other spot indexes told a different slice of the story: CoinMarketCap listed BTC near $65,070 and flagged a roughly 3% drop for the day. Those gaps are normal: futures, spot feeds, and aggregate trackers can diverge. What matters here is the premium’s direction — it had been negative for much of February and then crossed into positive territory. Coinbase Bitcoin Premium has flipped positive for the first time since the Feb 6th bottom. It looks like institutions are done with selling for now. pic.twitter.com/rUYgxO2Fo8 — Ted (@TedPillows) February 23, 2026 Why Traders Care About The Premium Coinbase is widely used by big US buyers, so a positive premium is read by many traders as a hint that domestic spot demand is outpacing offshore pressure. But a flip above zero is only a starting signal. The size of the spread, how long it holds, and whether exchange inflows back up the move are the things that turn a signal into a trend. Small, short-lived flips can be caused by temporary liquidity differences or quick arbitrage trades. Larger, sustained spreads are the ones that tend to matter to portfolio managers. Geopolitics And Market Mood Market watchers are also pointing to broader factors. Rising tensions between the US and Iran, along with talk about tariff adjustments linked to US President Donald Trump, have driven investors toward safer assets in recent sessions. That mood has at times pushed BTC below important technical cushions near $65,000, and some sessions saw brief dips under $64,000 before a few calm windows allowed minor rebounds. When fear spikes, crypto often feels it first. Derivatives, Volume, And Technical Levels Futures activity on Binance and other platforms stayed busy, even if volume didn’t show the sort of surge that precedes big breakouts. Reports put daily trading volume near $45.71 billion while market cap sat close to $1.30 trillion. Funding rates, open interest, and exchange inflows are being monitored closely; each can either confirm or undercut the message from the Coinbase premium. A rising open interest that aligns with a growing premium would be more persuasive than a lone spread tick. Related Reading: Bitcoin Buying Spree Nears Century Mark, Saylor Hints Encouraging Signs A Coinbase premium turning positive offers a hopeful signal after weeks below zero, but it doesn’t confirm a sustained rally. Investors will be tracking how large the spread is, whether Coinbase sees significant inflows, and if funding rates and open interest support the move. Traders are likely to wait through the next sessions for clear signs before considering the market stabilized. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView

Dogecoin is facing another bearish technical call after trader Cheds Trading (@BigCheds) posted a weekly DOGE/USD chart via X on Feb. 24 and said the memecoin “looks headed for 6 cents .06 range.” The setup matters because the chart he shared shows DOGE already trading below a stack of key weekly trend indicators, with the next widely visible support region lower. Is Dogecoin Heading To $0.06? Cheds’ comment was brief and direct: “DOGE looks headed for 6 cents .06 range”. The TradingView chart is a 1-week DOGE/USD Coinbase chart. The chart’s indicator panel shows DOGE trading below all the visible moving averages cited on the screenshot. The EMA 8 is marked at $0.10823, the SMA 200 at $0.13578, the EMA 34 at $0.15734, and the SMA 50 at $0.17912. With price at $0.09135, DOGE is beneath each of those levels, which supports the analyst’s argument that the weekly structure remains weak unless price can reclaim them. Related Reading: Dogecoin Sets A New Record In A Key Cycle Indicator: Bottom In? The Bollinger Bands shown on the same chart also provide context. The screenshot lists BB 20 (2) values at $0.13861 (basis), $0.20395 (upper band), and $0.07328 (lower band). That places DOGE closer to the lower band than the midline and well below the basis, consistent with downside pressure on the weekly timeframe. Cheds’ $0.06 target would also imply a move below the currently displayed lower Bollinger Band level of $0.07328, which frames the call as a deeper continuation scenario rather than a simple drift within the current volatility envelope. From the displayed close of $0.09135, a move to $0.06 would represent roughly another 34% downside. Related Reading: Dogecoin’s Third Time Breakout Could Send Price On 2,000% Rally To $2 The chart shows continued low trading volume, with price continuing to slide after failing to hold higher levels visible earlier in the cycle. In practical terms, the chart Cheds shared supports a straightforward thesis: DOGE is below near-term and medium-term trend references, and the burden of proof remains on buyers. Unless DOGE can reclaim some of those weekly indicator levels, starting with the EMA 8 at 0.10823, the analyst’s call for a retest toward the $0.06 area remains aligned with the chart structure shown. Notably, DOGE has fallen below the October 10 crash low at $0.095. The next support could be near $0.08, a price DOGE visited already three weeks ago. The price also marked the August 2024 bottom. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09142. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
