The crypto market continues to lose floor, pushed by disappointment over the absence of a plan for the U.S. authorities to purchase bitcoin underneath the newly introduced strategic reserve plan and amid persistent macroeconomic concerns.

BTC fell to $80,000 late Sunday, buying and selling under the 200-day easy shifting common, and ether took out a macro bullish trendline with a dip under the long-held assist of $2,100. Other cash adopted the 2 majors, posting greater losses.

“Many investors are pulling out of bitcoin, viewing it as a risky asset class for the first time since Trump took the White House,” stated Zach Burks, CEO and founding father of NFT-service supplier Mintology. “It’s no longer playing its role as a store of value. Gold prices have spiked as many go back to the original ‘doomsday asset,’ which is no surprise as tariffs and grenades continues to get thrown across the free world.”

The tariffs are making it more durable for the Fed to maneuver ahead with price cuts regardless of the continued decline development in real-time inflation indicators.

Still, some observers are not sure if the market weak spot, significantly seen over the weekend, may very well be long-lasting. “Trading volumes over the weekend were extremely low, reducing the value of the bearish signal,” Alex Kuptsikevich, the FxPro chief market analyst, instructed CoinDesk.

“We note that sellers push the price down in periods of low liquidity, but the price bounces back with the arrival of institutional buyers. It looks like the big buyers have enough liquidity left to buy out the drawdown,” Kuptsikevich stated. Stay alert!
