Sellers Still in Charge - 20.02.2026 Bulls keep getting rejected and the macro isn't helping

This episode unpacks the eerie market silence around mid-$60,000 Bitcoin, on-chain signs of institutional selling (including BlackRock activity), and a major geopolitical risk driving risk-off flows. We also break down the stalled Clarity Act fight over stablecoin yield and the proposed idea of rewarding actions instead of passive holdings. Despite price fear and ETF outflows, the plumbing of finance is being built — CME 24/7 futures, Kraken’s tokenized stocks volume, and new compliant products. Key levels to watch: reclaim $71,000 to regain momentum or risk a drop toward $50,000; monitor macro tech (NVIDIA) and Middle East headlines for triggers.
