BTC settles below $52,000
This leading cryptocurrency has shown very impressive price movements over the past 10 days. It all started on February 7th, when the asset finally broke out of a tight week-long range around $43,000.
The bulls took complete control of the market and started several consecutive price increases, resulting in BTC knocking on the $50,000 door by the end of the week. After a brief period of rejection, the cryptocurrency went on the offensive again and regained that level on Monday, February 12th.
The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers were pushed down by several grand, but that didn't last long. The asset's value has started rising again, soaring to $52,900 on Thursday, its highest level since late 2021.
However, it was unable to break through that line, and subsequent rejections pushed it far south on Friday. Since then, BTC has been very weak and currently he is a few centimeters below $52,000.
CoinGecko's market cap is still over $1 trillion, but its control over alternatives is back to 50%.
