The largest cryptocurrency, just below $77 000 on Wednesday during Asian hours, has increased by only 0.1% over 24 hours and decreased by 0.8% over the week, maintaining a narrow range despite Brent crude surpassing $111 per barrel on the Wall Street Journal report that President Donald Trump has instructed aides to prepare for a prolonged naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
