Bitcoin’s price slipped to $82,256 on Feb. 26, signaling that the crypto market is still facing headwinds. The decisive break, below the $90,000 support on Feb. 25, handed the advantage to the bears, leading to $937.9 million in outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Over three days, Bitcoin tumbled by $12,820, wiping out more than $1 billion in leveraged long positions. The sell-off coincided with US President Donald Trump’s call for increased tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, prompting investors to shift toward long-term US Treasurys for safety. Even gold, a traditional hedge during uncertain times, declined by 2.2% over two days.
