Robinhood stock (HOOD) on watch after the holiday: bitcoin slides, Feb. 19 update looms

New York, February 16, 2026, 11:36 (ET) — The market has closed.

  • Robinhood ended Feb. 13 at $75.97, a 6.8% gain for the day.
  • U.S. markets are closed on Monday for Presidents Day, with trading set to resume Tuesday.
  • Bitcoin dropped to roughly $67,600. Robinhood will report its January monthly metrics on Feb. 19.

Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD.O) is set to resume trading Tuesday, with renewed attention on crypto. Monday’s Presidents Day holiday kept U.S. markets shut.

Robinhood’s numbers still hinge on how retail traders behave with options and crypto. If things quiet down, transaction revenue falls off quickly; if activity picks up, the rebound can be just as sudden.

No tape today, but the calendar isn’t quiet. Crypto is moving in real time, and traders are eyeing Robinhood’s monthly metrics, set for release later this week — the firm’s next mid-quarter update.

Robinhood ended Friday at $75.97, jumping 6.82% following sharp losses over the previous two days, StockAnalysis.com shows.

Banks and U.S. stock markets won’t open until Tuesday, with both shuttered Monday, according to the Associated Press.

Bitcoin slipped 1.7% to hover near $67,600, pulling back from an earlier peak close to $70,090, Twelve Data showed. Robinhood picks up healthy fee income from crypto trades, so these swings hit home.

Robinhood’s latest earnings put the connection in sharp relief. Fourth-quarter total net revenues jumped 27% to $1.28 billion. Crypto transaction revenue, though, dropped 38% to $221 million. Options brought in $314 million, and net interest revenue hit $411 million. “Our vision hasn’t changed: we are building the Financial SuperApp,” CEO Vlad Tenev said. CFO Shiv Verma added, “2026 is off to a strong start.” Nasdaq

Robinhood plans to release its January monthly metrics on Feb. 19 at 4:05 p.m. EST. Investors will get a look at key mid-quarter numbers, including trading volumes and “net deposits”—that’s customer deposits less withdrawals. Robinhood Investors

On top of it all, macro risk looms. Investors will comb through the Federal Reserve’s Jan. 27-28 meeting minutes, due out Feb. 18 at 2:00 p.m., hunting for any hints on the central bank’s next move on rates.

Sentiment in crypto stocks can flip fast. Coinbase (COIN.O) unexpectedly reported a quarterly loss last week. David Bartosiak, stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research, called diversification “shock absorbers” that help with revenue volatility. Reuters

The bear case isn’t complicated. Should bitcoin continue to drop, or if January numbers disappoint, Robinhood’s reliance on transactions leaves it exposed next quarter. The stock has already shown it can adjust sharply and fast.

HOOD traders are eyeing Thursday’s post-close monthly metrics drop as the next key event. But first, it’s Tuesday’s open that could shape the early mood.

  • Buffett Indicator Tops 230%, Breaking Past Dot-Com Era and Signaling Pricey Market
    June 30, 2026, 4:20 PM EDT. The Buffett Indicator, which compares U.S. stock market value to GDP, has jumped to 230%, beating the 2000 dot-com high of 140%. Warren Buffett said in 2001 that a ratio over 200% meant investors were "playing with fire." The Shiller CAPE is also at 41, close to levels not seen since the dot-com bubble. That puts today's U.S. market at some of its priciest levels. Heavyweight stocks dominate, with the top 10 S&P 500 names making up 35% of the index, driven by AI gains in names like Nvidia and Alphabet. There's no signal of a drop now, but investors pay high prices for the top stocks, and the warnings around valuations are growing.
