The cryptocurrency market ended the working week of February 9-15 in consolidation mode after sharp movements at the beginning of the month: Bitcoin fell by approximately 1.7% over the period, from $70,127.9 on February 9 to $68,949.8 on February 15, with an intraday range of around $65,100-71,400.

Ethereum looked weaker: over the week, the price fell by about 4.6%—from $2,104.66 on February 9 to $2,007.02 on February 15. The weekly lows for ETH were around $1,899, indicating increased volatility in the altcoin segment.

Investor sentiment in the middle of the week was influenced by expectations of key US macro data and uncertainty about the trajectory of interest rates. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin quickly lost several percent on certain days, and crypto assets moved in tandem with risky segments of the stock market.

Interest in exchange-traded products remained a separate stabilizing factor: industry reviews noted inflows into iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) even amid falling prices.

According to industry daily reports, at the beginning of the period under review, the overall market attempted to recover from the previous days' decline, and capitalization returned to around $2.4 trillion, but it failed to consolidate its steady growth over the week.
