Bitcoin (BTC) Reclaims $97K, Ripple (XRP) Soars by 12% Daily (Market Watch)
Feb 14, 2025 2:28 AM

The cryptocurrency market has shown some resurgence in the past 24 hours, with numerous leading digital assets charting mild gains. Bitcoin (BTC), for instance, climbed by 1% and surpassed $97,000 again.

Many of the well-known altcoins have performed much better than the primary cryptocurrency. Ripples XRP is the most evident example, with its valuation jumping by double digits.

BTC is Slowly Recovering

It has been a rather shaky week for Bitcoin (BTC), whose price fluctuated between under $95,000 and almost $100,000. It traded near the upper mark on February 7, but in the following days, it suffered a severe downfall.

The actual inflation rate was higher than expectations which caused the entire crypto market to head south. 

The following day, though, BTC bulls regained control and pushed the valuation to as high as $98,000. However, the rally was short-lived, and the price once again plunged below $95,500. Over the past several hours, though, there has been a new resurgence, and BTC currently trades just north of $97,000.
