[ad_1] XRPUSD \u2013 Daily Chart \u2013 170225Click here to find out why analysts believe XRP could skyrocket\u2014or crash\u2014based on the SEC\u2019s decision. Bitcoin in Sideways Loop Amid Tariff Uncertainty Beyond Ripple and XRP, bitcoin (BTC) remained a focal point. Since President Trump first announced plans for tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico on January 31, BTC has struggled to reclaim the crucial $100k mark, finding itself in a sideways loop. Trump\u2019s tariffs could increase US import costs and inflation, potentially leading to a more hawkish Fed rate path. A higher-for-longer Fed rate may raise borrowing costs, impacting risk assets, including BTC. US economic data has also pegged BTC back from the $100k level. In January, a pickup in inflationary pressures tempered bets on an H1 2025 Fed rate cut amid tariff uncertainty. The US BTC-spot ETF market reflected sentiment toward the Fed rate path, ending a six-week inflow streak in the week ending February 14. Bitcoin Price Outlook On February 16, BTC dropped 1.51%, reversing Saturday\u2019s 0.14% gain, closing at $96,225. Significantly, BTC fell short of the $100k level for the ninth consecutive session. Looking ahead, it could be a pivotal week for BTC and the broader crypto market. Key BTC catalysts include: US Economic Data: Jobless claims report (February 20) and Services PMI (February 21). FOMC Commentary: insights into inflation, the labor market, and the Fed rate path. US Tariff policies: Trade tensions and economic impact. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) Developments: Updates on the US government\u2019s approach to BTC reserves. Possible BTC Price Scenarios: Bearish: Sweeping US tariffs, upbeat US data, a hawkish Fed, and resistance to a US SBR could drag BTC toward $90,000. Bullish: Weaker US data, a dovish Fed, easing tariff tensions, and SBR progress could push BTC toward its all-time high of $109,312.
