Google Trends data shows U.S. search interest for “Bitcoin to zero” has climbed to its highest level in the past five years, with the term reaching a peak score of 100 in early 2026. The jump comes while Bitcoin remains under pressure, giving a clear read on how retail sentiment has shifted during the latest downtrend.
Similar bursts in search activity appeared during earlier drawdowns, including in 2022 and briefly in 2025, but the current surge is stronger than those prior peaks. For most of 2023 and early 2024, interest in the phrase stayed subdued, matching a calmer stretch in the market. That has changed fast. The latest spike points to rising anxiety among retail participants after Bitcoin consolidated following a sharp decline. Historically, extreme “Bitcoin to zero” search activity has tended to line up with periods of capitulation or elevated fear.
Bitcoin remains stuck below near-term resistance
On the daily chart, Bitcoin is trading near $65,950. Earlier in the month, a February sell-off briefly pushed BTC toward the low-$60,000 area. Price then recovered modestly, yet bulls have not been able to force a move above the $68,000 zone. Several daily candles have been rejected near the short-term moving average, showing that upside momentum remains limited.
BTC is still trading below the 20-day simple moving average at about $68,278. The upper Bollinger Band sits near $72,458, while the lower band is around $64,098. Price is now pressing close to that lower band, a sign of short-term weakness. The Chaikin Money Flow reading is slightly negative at -0.06, indicating mild capital outflows rather than aggressive liquidation.
$64,000 support is now the key level to watch
Immediate support sits around $64,000, lining up with the lower Bollinger Band and recent consolidation lows. If that level breaks, the next area in focus is the $60,000 psychological zone. On the upside, initial resistance stands near $68,300, close to the 20-day moving average. A stronger ceiling appears near $72,500, where the upper Bollinger Band meets a prior breakdown area.
For now, Bitcoin remains range-bound in the short term, but the structure stays weak unless price can reclaim the $68,000 to $72,000 region.
