The last 24 hours have been relatively quiet for Bitcoin (BTC) and some <\/span>of the<\/span> large-cap altcoins. The primary cryptocurrency has shown very slight volatility, trading at almost the same level observed yesterday (February 15).<\/span><\/p>\n

BTC Barely Moves<\/span><\/h2>\n

The last business week has been rather turbulent for BTC, with its price fluctuating between under $95,000 and almost $99,000. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some <\/span>of the factors that contributed<\/span> to the enhanced volatility include Donald Trump\u2019s intention to enforce additional tariffs on certain stocks entering the USA and the latest CPI data <\/span>released<\/span><\/a> by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the weekend has been calm so far. <\/span>BTC settled at around $97,500 on February 15 and in the following hours <\/span>it consolidated at that level<\/span>.<\/span> This<\/span> represents a mere 0.5% on a weekly scale.<\/span><\/p>\n
