The post BTC Technical Analysis Feb 18 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Bitcoin is currently trading around 67.400$ and a short-term downtrend dominates; if support levels break while volatility is high, there’s a risk of a quick decline below 60.000$. Investors should manage their positions with capital protection-focused stop loss strategies and target a risk/reward ratio of at least 1:2. Market Volatility and Risk Environment The BTC/USD pair is trading at the 67.403$ level with a 1.85% decline over the last 24 hours.

On the fundamental side, Bitcoin mining company Hive’s announcement of a 91 million$ net loss and Metaplanet’s 619 million$ valuation loss are negatively affecting market sentiment. These news items could pave the way for sudden dumps by increasing liquidity risk.
