On February 13, 2026, the cryptocurrency market exhibited a predominantly rising trend, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) both posting modest gains according to data from CoinStats. Bitcoin's price increased by 1% over the previous day, trading at $68,882 at press time. Technical analysis indicates that on the hourly chart, BTC broke through a local resistance level at $67,155, setting the stage for a potential continuation of its upward move towards the $70,000 zone, provided the daily candle closes significantly above that breakout point.
For longer-term perspectives, traders are advised to monitor the closure of the price candle relative to the nearest key level at $71,673. A close near or above this level could provide enough momentum for ongoing growth toward the $75,000 area. However, the mid-term outlook remains bearish as long as Bitcoin's price stays below the $76,600 threshold. A weekly close above this mark would signal a potential for a sustained mid-term rise.
Meanwhile, Dogecoin saw a more subdued increase of 0.11%, trading at $0.09529. Its hourly chart shows the meme coin attempting to consolidate above a local resistance at $0.09437. A successful hold above this level could lead to a test of the $0.097 zone in the near term. On longer timeframes, the situation appears less bullish, with DOGE's price situated far from significant support and resistance levels, indicating a lack of dominant momentum from either bulls or bears.
This equilibrium is reflected in low trading volumes, suggesting the most probable scenario for the rest of the week is sideways trading within the range of $0.092 to $0.098. From a mid-term viewpoint, the nearest critical level is $0.10. As long as DOGE trades below this mark, further decline remains a possibility for traders.
