The original currency of the currency fell as much as 7.2% to $ 78,226 on Friday, which brought its drop from all time reaching less than six weeks ago to 28%. Bitcoin later established a loss, and eventually traded a little changed. Bitcoin dropped about 18%in February, which is the biggest monthly fall since June 2022.
“Some big players just said at the end of the day:” You know what, I’ll just throw a towel, “said Zaheer Ebtikar, co -founder Crypto Fund Split Capital.” I think we saw it last week. There was definitely a lot of sale more than usual, so it is difficult to determine a certain exchange or place. “
The Bitcoin drop in this week has taken it to the technical levels that many merchants look after the signs that the sale may have gone too far, inspiring the customers of the DIP to step and at least pause the fall. Bitcoin has fallen below its 200-day moving average, a carefully observed indicator of a long-term trend, for the first time since October. Its 14-day relative strength index, a measure of momentum price, has dropped below the level this week indicating that the property is considered to be overturned for the first time since September.
Trump said on Thursday that 25% of tariffs in Canada and Mexico would enter into force of March 4, underpinning hopes that he could turn the way after the previous delay. He also said that Chinese imports would face further 10% of the levy, which is why the officers in Beijing promised “all the necessary measures” in response.
The focus on the tension of trade has led to a wide risk drop in markets on Friday, pushing almost all Asian shares and a decline in encouraging in Europe. But the crypto currencies – which are deeply exposed to risk shifts – were among the worst shot.
Trump’s trade trouble
Seluff emphasizes a quick change in wealth for what was previously one of Trump’s most popular stores in global markets: buying Bitcoin to expect that the president’s crypto will bring the approach to a wide rally.
That worked for a while. On January 20, Bitcoin reached its maximum of $ 109,241, the day of Trump’s inauguration. But the crypto currencies have recently become under pressure in the midst of the concern that Trump’s Pugilistic approach to the global trade can lead to wide pain.
“Considering the macro environment, it is not surprising to see that we are where we are,” said Stefan von Haenisch, director of trading without a prescription in the Asian Pacific Ocean at the Criptovalut Custodian Company Bitgo Inc. Traders are still waiting for Trump to figure out the concrete steps for the sector, including the stock, he said.
What do Bloomberg’s strategists say …
“The real panic may still be in front of us. Bitcoin always has 70%+ fall in its future, construction. $ 72,000-74 thousand dollars seem like a technical crushing zone that could start the next crypto winter.”

Investors are now forced to consider how much the world’s largest curine can fall. There is a coin support of about $ 70,000, said Ruslan Lienkha, the head of the market on Crypto Platform Youhodler, pointing to a technical analysis. But he said that investors should not assume that the Ruta in Bitcoin will become bad.
“We will only see this level if the negative feeling dominates the capital markets,” Lienkha said.
Bear sentiment also hit the funds traded in Bitcoin Exchange. In February, investors pulled a record $ 3.3 billion from the exchange agents to Spot-Bitcoin, ready for the largest monthly exodus since they made their debut, as investors have sought refuge in a safer property due to growing geopolitical tensions and lasting inflation care.
Trump has already made several changes that are satisfied with the crypts of the bulls, including putting a cryptocurrency advocate of key positions. The Securities and Exchange Commission, which has embarked on a long -standing action under former chairwoman Gary Gensler, has also closed investigations into several crypto suits in recent weeks.
Trump said he wanted to make an American “crypto capital of the planet and Bitcoin superpower of the world.”
