I just reviewed the historical data for February 2026, and honestly, it was a pretty tough month for crypto. Bitcoin closed with -14.94%, which makes it the third-worst monthly performance since 2013. If you compare it with the historical average for February ( 1,11% ), the difference is enormous.



Etherenum had an even rougher time with -19.81% that month as well—the third-worst since records began in 2017. Considering that the February average for ETH is 8.53%, the contrast is brutal.

It’s interesting to see how some months just don’t cooperate, no matter how much optimism there is in the market. February 2026 definitely wasn’t the best time for hodlers. Now in April, we’re seeing a recovery ( BTC and ETH with positive changes in the last hour ), but those February data remain a reminder of volatility.
BTC-1.54%
ETH-3.87%
