On Friday, February 14, the overall crypto market displayed mixed sentiment. Bitcoin continued its decline for the fifth consecutive day, slipping by nearly 1 percent on international exchanges to $96,812 (roughly Rs. 84 lakh). A similar trend was observed on Indian platforms like CoinSwitch and Giottus, where Bitcoin traded at around $97,704 (roughly Rs. 84.8 lakh) after a 1 percent dip in the past 24 hours.
“With BTC trading around $96,500 (roughly Rs. 83.2 lakh) mark for the 13th day in a row, it has become difficult for the bears to breach through this support and at the same time there are continuous lower highs forming in BTC - signalling towards a short-term downtrend,” the CoinSwitch markets trend told Gadgets 360. “Altcoins may show some strength as Bitcoin consolidates.”
Ether clocked a loss of 0.58 percent on international platforms on Friday. As shown by CoinMarketCap, the asset is presently trading at $2,700 (roughly Rs. 2.34 lakh). On local exchanges, meanwhile, Ether dropped by 0.76 percent to trade at $2,697 (roughly Rs. 2.34 lakh).
“Following the higher-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, the Producer Price Index (PPI) also exceeded forecasts at 0.4 percent, further adding to the inflation concerns. However, the market showed strong resilience near the key support levels even as expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut remained low for the first half of the year,” said Mudrex CEO Edul Patel, commenting on the market status.
The crypto price tracker by Gadgets 360 showed majority altcoins trading under losses on Friday.
These include Tether, Binance Coin, Solana, Dogecoin, and Tron.
Chainlink, Avalanche, Shiba Inu, Leo, and Monero also registered price drops on Friday.
The global crypto market cap fell by 0.30 percent in the last 24 hours. As shown by CoinMarketCap, the crypto market valuation presently stands at $3.21 trillion (roughly Rs. 2,78,83,648 crore).
Ripple, USD Coin, Cardano, Stellar, Litecoin, and Polkadot meanwhile, reflected minor but notable gains on the price charts.
Uniswap, Iota, and Qtum also emerged on the green-side of the price chart on Friday.
“Overall market sentiment hangs in neutral territory, but several vital developments are becoming growth drivers. The meme and small-cap tokens are climbing in prices, showing that investors are excited. As the trading scenario evolves in all areas of the crypto market, due diligence and patience are key to making the most of any chance that pops up in ever-changing market dynamics," - Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder and CEO, Pi42 told Gadgets 360.
