PEPE and PI joined that club.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-taps-70k\">BTC Taps $70K<\/h2>\n<p>It was just over a week ago \u2013 February 6, when the primary cryptocurrency\u2019s crash culminated in a nosedive to $60,000. This became its lowest price tag in well over a year after a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-erases-post-trump-election-gains-altcoins-crash-by-double-digits-your-weekly-crypto-recap\/\">$30,000 drop<\/a> in the span of approximately 10 days.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls finally woke up at this point and didn\u2019t allow another decline to the sub-$60,000 levels. Just the opposite, BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoins-rollercoaster-ride-continues-as-btc-price-recovers-10k-in-a-day\/\">exploded<\/a> by $12,000 within a day and surged to $72,000, which turned out to be too strong a resistance.<\/p>\n<p>The following few days were sluggish, with bitcoin trading between $68,000 and $72,000. The mid-week rejection at the upper boundary resulted in more pain, as the asset fell to $66,000 on Friday. However, it rebounded strongly in the following days, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-finally-rebounds-sharply-bitcoin-btc-eyes-70k-weekend-watch\/\">climbed<\/a> to $69,000 on Saturday and to $70,800 on Sunday. It faced some resistance there, but still trades above $70,000 as of press time.<\/p>\n<p>Its market capitalization has risen to $1.410 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts has decreased slightly to 56.5%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1428838\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1428838\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BTCUSD-Feb-15.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1428838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Feb 15.

The OG meme coin has gained 18% daily, perhaps <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/is-elon-musk-behind-dogecoins-latest-double-digit-surge\/\">driven<\/a> by an announcement by Elon Musk, and now sits around $0.115. XRP has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-on-fire-analysts-call-for-another-big-move-after-16-surge\/\">reclaimed<\/a> the $1.60 resistance after an 11% pump.<\/p>\n<p>ADA, ZEC, and XLM are also in the green from the larger caps, while PEPE has soared by 25%. Pi Network\u2019s native token became the top performer in the crypto markets today, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-network-pioneers-celebrate-pis-35-daily-surge-as-important-deadline-approaches\/\">surging<\/a> by over 35% at one point to over $0.20. Although it has lost some traction since then, it\u2019s still up by 20%.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has added another $40 billion daily and is close to $2.5 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1428839\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1428839\" style=\"width: 1883px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-15-112744.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1428839 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/07d54f7c-050f-4961-73a8-da38e0641b00\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview Feb 15.
