Just checked the bitcoin price action for February 2026 and it's pretty rough - down 14.94% for the month. That's the third-worst performance since 2013 according to the data I'm looking at. Especially brutal when you consider the historical February average for bitcoin is usually around 11.11%, so this month completely flipped the script.
Ethereum had it even worse, posting a -19.81% return in February 2026 - third-lowest since 2017. Also way off from the typical 8.53% average return ETH usually sees in February. It's one of those months that reminds you crypto can be pretty unforgiving, even during what's historically supposed to be a decent time of year for these assets.
