Here’s a breakdown of the crypto market from last week:
Another Week, Another Market Dip 📉
Bitcoin’s price started the week around $84,000 but dipped to $75,000 before ending last week around $78,000 — its biggest fall in the past nine months. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), and Dogecoin (DOGE) also experienced double-digit losses. Why is the market bleeding?
Over the past week, markets have reacted to rising macro uncertainty, especially around the impact of President Trump’s new policies from Washington. One part of the market is waiting for his announcement of the next Federal Reserve Chair, who is likely to be pro-Bitcoin Kevin Wash. But the expectation of a harsher Fed stance before the current Chair Jerome Powell leaves has pushed investors to reassess risk across asset classes.
In other news, Trump also signed an executive order declaring a national emergency linked to new tariffs targeting countries trading oil with Cuba. The move has added fresh uncertainty around global trade and boosted inflation expectations, and the markets are reacting to these developments.
Beyond the US, geopolitical tensions continue to build. Ongoing friction involving Iran, heightened activity in the South China Sea, and the unresolved Russia–Ukraine conflict have collectively driven investors toward traditional safe-haven assets like Gold and Silver.
As history has shown, Bitcoin’s path has never been straightforward. As an investor, this phase reinforces the importance of patience, strategy, and disciplined risk management.
