Bitcoin’s Ups and Downs: A Story of Tariffs and ETF Jitters
Bitcoin, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency, has been having a tough time lately, finding it hard to stay above $90,000. It’s not just about the ups and downs of the market; it’s also about what’s happening in the wider world, especially the U.S. putting tariffs on other countries and how investors feel about Bitcoin ETFs.
Bitcoin’s Rollercoaster Ride
Bitcoin’s journey recently has been like a rollercoaster. It went up above $90,000, but then it came back down because of worries about the global economy, including when the U.S. said it would put tariffs on other countries[1][3]. The cryptocurrency world is very sensitive to what’s happening in the global economy, and the fear of tariffs is making the market go up and down a lot.
How Tariffs Affect Bitcoin
When the U.S. says it will put tariffs on other countries, especially Canada and Mexico, it makes waves in the financial world. These tariffs not only affect traditional things like stocks and bonds but also make investors feel less sure about riskier things like Bitcoin. When people are worried about the economy, they often move their money to safer places, which can make the price of Bitcoin go down[3][5].
Bitcoin ETFs and Price Fluctuations
Another big thing affecting Bitcoin’s price is what’s happening with Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Lots of big investors have been pulling their money out of these funds because of the worries about the global economy and because they’re being careful[3][5]. When big investors sell, it makes it harder for Bitcoin to stay above $90,000.
What Technical Analysis and Market Feelings Say
From a technical point of view, Bitcoin has been strong because it’s been above a certain line (called the 200-day exponential moving average) that shows when the price is going up or down[4]. But the market is still very changeable, with the price going up and down because of technical things and what’s happening in the wider world. Sometimes, a thing called the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows that people are buying a lot of Bitcoin, but it also warns that the price might go down again[2].
Looking Ahead: What Might Happen to Bitcoin
Even though Bitcoin is having a tough time now, many people who study the market think it will do well in the long run. Some think it could be worth $160,000 to over $180,000 by the end of 2025[3]. But these guesses depend on the global economy getting better and investors feeling more confident.
Navigating Uncertainty: What’s Next for Bitcoin
In simple terms, Bitcoin’s struggle to stay above $90,000 is because of worries about the global economy and how big investors feel about Bitcoin ETFs. As the world changes, Bitcoin’s future will depend on how well it can handle these challenges and make investors feel confident again. Only time will tell if Bitcoin can keep going up or if it will go down again, but the next few weeks will be very important in deciding what happens next.
