Here’s the crypto price update for February 13 during European trading hours.
BTC price wedged below $100k
Gains for several altcoins during the European session on February 13 came as Bitcoin price continued to consolidate below $100k.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin dominance had dropped to 59.9%, with BTC price around $96,254.
Ethereum price changed hands above $2,600, up 3.5% in the past 24 hours – compared to 0.24% for Bitcoin.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) had dipped amid market reaction to US CPI data released on Wednesday.
However, the top coin reversed the trend and hit highs above $98k. If bulls fail to break higher, bears could target a retest of $92k.
But what are analysts saying?
“”The time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets!” After a hotter-than-expected CPI print, markets plunged as the Fed is now expected to delay its first rate cut until December. Now, all eyes are on Trump’s response to the higher CPI print. Will he pressure the Fed to cut rates sooner, or will he let them remain data-dependent?” analysts at QCP Capital quipped in market commentary published on February 13.
