Crypto prices on Feb 10: BTC below $97K, XRP slips 4%

The cryptocurrency market exhibited continued volatility on Monday, February 10, as market sentiment remained uncertain.

Bitcoin (BTC) traded around $97,000, experiencing marginal losses, while altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) struggled to gain traction.

The global cryptocurrency market cap was at $3.14 trillion, a 0.80% drop in the past 24 hours. Despite the decline, trading activity surged, with a 20.09% increase in 24-hour market volume, now at $88.6 billion.

Market uncertainty spiked after President Trump announced plans to implement new 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, triggering a dip across various cryptocurrencies.

The markets will also be looking at the upcoming US Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data.

The CPI release scheduled later this week is expected to offer critical insight into inflation trends, which could shape the Fed’s rate cut plans.

Last week’s US jobs report showed signs of a cooling labor market, fueling optimism about potential rate cuts.

This optimism briefly pushed Bitcoin past the $100,000 mark.
