Why did Bitcoin fall so much in February?

Selling picked up after key averages broke, liquidity thinned late month, and stops clustered below well-watched levels. Macro jitters added pressure. The result was a 19% monthly drop, the weakest since June 2022, and a potential fifth straight down month that kept traders defensive across Asia.

What are the key BTC support levels to watch now?

We are watching $66,000 as a pivot, $64,000 as a near-term shelf, and $62,800 to $61,000 as a stronger demand area. The Bollinger lower band near $61,045 and Keltner lower channel around $62,872 also matter. A daily close above $68,500 would reduce downside pressure.

Is a new crypto winter starting?

It is too early to call. The losing streak and weak momentum warn of further downside, but improving regulation in Hong Kong and steady institutional adoption argue against a deep freeze. Watch whether price holds $61,000 to $63,000 and whether ETF and fund flows stabilize in coming weeks.

How should HK investors manage risk with bitcoin usd now?

Use smaller positions, set clear stops, and size entries near supports rather than chasing moves. Convert U.S. levels to HK$ for planning. Rebalance on 5% to 8% swings, and add exposure only if price confirms strength with closes above $68,500 and improving momentum readings.
