Bitcoin’s Worst Month in Years – But This Altcoin Could Be a Game-Changer!
Bitcoin is wrapping up a brutal February, plunging 17.7% and logging its worst monthly performance since June 2022. Historically, February has been a strong month for BTC, with only two losing Februaries since 2013, but 2025 is proving to be an exception.
The flagship crypto dipped as low as $78,248, levels last seen right after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election. However, a rebound from the key $80K support level was fueled by BlackRock’s surprise announcement—some of its $150 billion model portfolios will now allocate 1-2% to Bitcoin ETFs.
Correction or End of the Bull Run?
Experts are split on where Bitcoin heads next:
🔹 Ruslan Lienkha (YouHodler): If negative sentiment dominates, BTC could drop to $70,000, a strong support zone.
🔹 Matt Hougan (Bitwise): “Adjusted for risk, this is the best time in history to buy Bitcoin.”
The correlation between BTC and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 remains high, meaning market turbulence, interest rates, and trade wars could continue impacting crypto prices.
The Altcoin to Watch: Solana (SOL)!
While meme coin hype fades, YouHodler’s Sergei Gorev believes Solana (SOL) is the one to watch:
✔ Down 50% from its $294.33 ATH—but holding up better than others.
✔ Competing with Ethereum and stealing market share.
✔ Could rebound stronger if the market stabilizes.
With institutional adoption ramping up and DeFi rebounding, crypto’s next chapter could be shaping up—and Solana may be at the center of it.
