- Bitcoin has fallen to its 2025 low of approximately $74,400, representing a 30% decline from January’s all-time high.
- Global tariff concerns and broader market uncertainty are primary factors driving the cryptocurrency’s recent price drop.
- Experts cite ETF outflows, increasing Gold prices, and technical support levels as additional contributing factors.
Bitcoin tumbled to approximately $74,400 today, marking its lowest point in 2025 as investors responded to escalating concerns over global tariffs. According to Coinbase figures from TradingView, the cryptocurrency has now fallen more than 30% from its January all-time high of $108,000.
This significant decline represents Bitcoin’s weakest performance since November, continuing a downward trend that has accelerated in recent days. Additional Coinbase data confirms that the premier digital currency has shed nearly a third of its value in just four months, reflecting broader market concerns.
Tariff Tensions Drive Market Uncertainty
Market analysts have consistently pointed to global trade tensions as a primary catalyst for Bitcoin’s recent depreciation. Joe DiPasquale, CEO of cryptocurrency hedge fund manager BitBull Capital, confirmed this connection, stating via email: “Yes, the recent drop in Bitcoin appears to be largely driven by a broader risk-off sentiment sparked by renewed tariff concerns.”
DiPasquale further explained, “As seen in past market cycles, Bitcoin tends to behave more like a risk asset than a safe haven, often mirroring movements in tech stocks and other growth-oriented investments.” This sentiment was echoed by Alex Lin, cofounder of venture capital firm Reforge, who noted that uncertainty related to US tariff policies has affected multiple asset classes.
Multiple Factors Influencing Bitcoin’s Decline
TikTok influencer Wendy O offered a more nuanced explanation, highlighting several contributing factors. She pointed to significant Bitcoin ETF outflows, noting that “Bloomberg suggests we have seen $5.5 billion in outflows since 1/1/2025.”
The cryptocurrency’s decline coincides with gold’s rising popularity as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Spot gold recently reached a record high of over $3,100, according to Kitco News data, potentially drawing investors away from digital assets.
From a technical perspective, Wendy O identified $71,000 as a critical support level for Bitcoin, referencing March and April 2024 patterns. She suggested that Bitcoin would need to reclaim the $82,000 level for a return to bullish conditions, while noting BlackRock‘s Larry Fink has warned of a possible additional 20% market decline.
As global economic tensions continue, Bitcoin’s performance remains closely tied to broader market sentiment, reflecting its evolving role in the investment landscape.
