Highlights
Crypto prices on Saturday have again encountered severe volatility, keeping traders and investors cautious. Bitcoin (BTC) price briefly slumped to a $95K low, whereas Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) traded in the red territory. However, XRP managed to pump roughly 1%, preventing further downside momentum. Besides, even the meme coins sector mirrored a slumping movement.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the most trending coins for the day and the latest market updates that have impacted prices.
Despite Donald Trump announcing a pause on new tariffs for Mexico and Canada, the crypto market is yet to recover from its slump. Some traders and investors are even bearish over future movements, as the tariffs pause is only for 30 days. Given that the market fails to recover by March’s beginning, another wave of volatility could kick in as the new tariffs are to resume. Meanwhile, this week has been alarming for the broader cryptocurrency sector as a whole.
BTC price dipped nearly 1% in the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $96,663. However, it’s noteworthy that the flagship coin’s intraday low and high levels were $95K and $100K, respectively. Nevertheless, Bitcoin’s dominance stayed up by 0.09%, reaching 60.94%.

In the latest developments surrounding the crypto, the U.S. SEC has delayed its decision on BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF options trading proposal. ETH recorded liquidations worth $64.83 million in the past 24 hours. Also, weekly inflows for Ethereum ETFs totaled $420.06 million as of February 7.

The broader market trends remain poised to significantly impact prices ahead. Apart from Donald Trump’s tariffs resuming in 30 days, another aspect has caused volatility. Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that over $15 billion in tokens were unlocked last month. Moreover, another $3 billion is set for this month, whereas the following month will see $9 billion between March & April. This phenomenon could further present altcoins’ prices with volatility.
