BTC/USD: Bitcoin Prices Steady as Crypto Traders Look for Market-Moving News
It was a quiet weekend of dormant trading leading up to a fairly quiet week ahead with no groundbreaking news on deck. đ Bitcoinâs Uneventful WeekendBitcoin prices were hugging the flatline early Monday with traders still sleepy after an uneventful weekend. The OG token was going for about $97,000 a piece this morning, apparently not making any interesting moves that would drive some investor enthusiasm. Over the past couple of weeks, Bitcoin hasnât been of a particular interest to money spinners as its prices have been moving in a long straight stretch with nothing scenic about it. đ Whatâs Coming This Week?Going further back, Bitcoin is now down about 11% from its all-time made in January when the postelection rally hit fever pitch. With the animal spirits now largely in the rearview, traders are hungry for some market-moving news. When are these coming? Not this week, most likely â unless something truly extraordinary happens. The next five days are pretty dry on scheduled economic events. đď¸ Trump and Musk InterviewThe biggest highlight of this week is Wednesdayâs release of the Federal Reserveâs meeting minutes. The Fed met three weeks ago to say that interest rates are staying where they are with on future interest rate cuts. Thereâs also an interview with Donald Trump and Elon Musk thatâs expected to air February 18. The President and his super close sidekick will likely be talking cost cuts and tariffs with some time dedicated to how the media is trying to drive them apart.
