Just dug into some old Bitcoin price analysis from February 2026 and it's interesting to see how things actually played out. Back then, analysts were pretty bullish on BTC hitting around $101k by end of February with that ascending wedge pattern everyone was watching. Obviously didn't quite pan out that way. Current price sitting around $77.27k now, which tells you something shifted. The thing that caught my eye was the ETF flow data they were tracking - November had those massive $3.48B outflows, December another $1.09B, but January showed it slowing to just $278M. That deceleration was supposed to signal institutional selling pressure easing up. But looking at where we are now, seems like the macro environment or something else pulled the rug. The Realized Profit/Loss Ratio they mentioned as a key indicator for new capital entering - that 5.0 level was supposed to be the magic number for sustained appreciation. Curious if we ever actually saw that play out or if sentiment just stayed cautious like they noted. February Bitcoin price forecasts are fun to look back on, but real market conditions clearly had other plans.
