Bitcoin Plunges 10% as Trump’s Tariff Plans Spark Market Selloff

Bitcoin Falls Below $77,000 as Crypto Market Tumbles Following Trump Tariff Announcements

  • Bitcoin has fallen below $77,000, dropping over 10% from its recent high of nearly $90,000, while other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and XRP have plummeted even more sharply.
  • The cryptocurrency market decline coincides with stock market reactions to Donald Trump‘s global tariff announcements, potentially signaling broader economic concerns.
  • Analysts suggest $72,000 could be the next key support level for Bitcoin, with some predicting Monday’s stock market performance could mirror Sunday’s crypto downturn.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have experienced a sharp decline, with Bitcoin falling below $77,000, representing a more than 10% drop from its recent high of almost $90,000 last week. The downturn coincides with stock market reactions to Donald Trump’s announced global tariffs, which some analysts describe as a potential “crisis scenario” for financial markets.

The cryptocurrency market has lost significant value, with the total reduction since January now reaching $1.3 trillion. Other major cryptocurrencies have been hit even harder than Bitcoin, with Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin all dropping approximately 15% in a 24-hour period, according to market data.

Market Support Levels Under Pressure

“Bitcoin has recently lost the key $79,000 to $80,000 support level, which it had managed to hold for the past month,” stated Charlie Sherry, head of finance and crypto analyst at BTC Markets, who further noted that “The next key support lies around $72,000, which was the pre-election high.”

The Sunday cryptocurrency decline may foreshadow Monday’s stock market performance, according to Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered Bank’s head of crypto, who commented, “Sometimes crypto movements on Sunday tell you what stocks are going to do Monday. If that is the case, Monday could be ugly.”

Potential Recovery Factors

Looking ahead, Sherry identified two possible scenarios that could help Bitcoin regain its position above $80,000: “a potential shift in Trump’s stance or emergency intervention by the Federal Reserve.” This comes as traders increased their bets that the Fed might cut interest rates to prevent a U.S. recession.

Market observers are monitoring the situation to determine if this correction represents a temporary setback or the beginning of a larger market adjustment. Traders are particularly concerned about the potential impact of Trump’s tariff policies on global economic stability and how central banks might respond to these pressures.

Last week, market data showed increased speculation that the Federal Reserve may be forced to implement interest rate cuts to prevent economic downturn, a move that some analysts suggest could result in markets being “flooded” with dollars – potentially affecting cryptocurrency valuations in the coming months.
