Although bitcoin and most altcoins have recovered from the massive losses charted at the end of the previous business week, the past seven days weren\u2019t exactly positive for the asset class, as it remains miles from the Q4 2025 peaks.<\/p>\n
Before we examine the developments that took place in the past week, let\u2019s quickly recap<\/a> the latest crash that culminated on February 6 when BTC plunged to $60,000 for the first time in well over a year. Many altcoins collapsed by 20-30% daily, reaching new local lows.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, BTC bounced off on that day by $12,000 and tapped $72,000 in what became one of its most impressive single-day recovery attempts. However, the predominant bearish trend resumed rapidly, and BTC was stopped and driven down to $68,000 during the weekend.<\/p>\n It spent the next several days trading sideways between that lower boundary and $72,000. After the latest rejection at the upper boundary, the bears initiated another leg down, pushing the cryptocurrency south to $66,000 on Wednesday and $65,000 on Thursday.<\/p>\n The past few hours were slightly more positive for bitcoin, especially since the US CPI numbers for January came out and showed<\/a> that inflation has actually cooled off. BTC jumped to $67,600 but was stopped there and now trades inches above $66,000. This means that BTC now sits at approximately the same spot as last week, but many alts have produced more substantial volatility.<\/p>\n On the one hand, XRP, BNB, HYPE, and SOL are deep in the red, but on the other, BCH, XMR, and HBAR have surged by up to 9.5%.<\/p>\n <\/a>Cryptocurrency Market Overview Weekly Feb 13.
