Just checked the February 2026 performance numbers and wow, both Bitcoin and Ethereum really got hit hard that month. BTC dropped 14.94% which is brutal - third worst monthly showing since 2013. Ethereum price today would be even more painful to look at from back then, down 19.81% for the month, its third lowest since 2017.



What's wild is how far below average both coins fell. Bitcoin's historical February average sits around 11%, so this was basically the opposite of what normally happens in that month. Ethereum in February 2026 followed a similar pattern, missing the typical 8.5% gains by a huge margin.

Definitely one of those months you'd rather forget if you were holding through it.
