Crypto Market Faces Mixed Signals As Bitcoin Stalls And Altcoins Shine
(MENAFN- The Rio Times) The cryptocurrency market showed mixed performance on February 13, 2025, with Bitcoin holding steady while select altcoins delivered notable moves. Analysts attributed the day's activity to inflation concerns, ETF speculation, and token-specific developments.
Bitcoin traded between $95,000 and $98,000, consolidating near the $96,000 mark. Despite its stability, Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows of $251 million, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid rising U.S. inflation.
The latest Consumer Price Index data revealed a 3% year-over-year increase, fueling fears of prolonged Federal Reserve tightening. Analysts pointed to accumulation patterns suggesting Bitcoin could break resistance at $100,000 if momentum builds.
Ethereum gained 4.34%, closing at $2,719.23 after large investors acquired over 600,000 ETH. Technical indicators showed Ethereum nearing critical resistance at $2,800.
Solana remained range-bound around $195–$197 but faced slight pressure with a marginal 0.19% decline. Optimism surrounding a potential Solana ETF approval bolstered long-term sentiment, with analysts projecting a price target of $520 if approved.
Litecoin experienced volatility, dropping nearly 7% during the day before recovering to $126.89 by evening. Speculation about an upcoming Litecoin ETF kept the asset in focus despite its choppy performance.
Cryptocurrency Market Update
Meanwhile, Ripple surged 15% early in the session following social media speculation about a major announcement but corrected later. Altcoins saw standout performances as PancakeSwap's CAKE token soared 52%, driven by new staking incentives and cross-chain upgrades.
AI-related tokens like SingularityNET and BinaryX also gained traction due to growing interest in blockchain-AI integration. The total cryptocurrency market cap rose 1.97% to $3.18 trillion as trading volumes increased by 25% to $133 billion.
Bitcoin dominance slightly declined to 59%, signaling strength in altcoins. Institutional interest in crypto ETFs remained high despite net outflows for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Market analysts noted that technical levels and macroeconomic updates would likely dictate short-term price movements. The mixed performance highlighted the market's sensitivity to external factors while showcasing resilience in key altcoins poised for further growth.
