Bitcoin hovered around $105,500 with modest gains after failing to sustain a push past $106,000, recovering from last week’s political-induced dip. Market stability is reflected in reduced derivatives liquidations ($125M), but this calm may be disrupted by upcoming CPI and PPI reports alongside US-China trade talks. Meanwhile, altcoins like Internet Computer (ICP) and meme coins Fartcoin/SPX6900 surged 7-8%, outperforming flat large-cap cryptocurrencies. Analysts warn inflation data could spark fresh volatility as traders await macroeconomic cues.
