Cryptocurrencies Erase Gains Since Sunday, Integration Into Traditional Finance Hardly Alone
Cryptocurrency analysts note that Bitcoin has now turned bearish, with its weekend gains having completely evaporated. While Trump's statement about cryptocurrency reserves briefly halted the downward momentum, underlying macroeconomic issues remain. Over the past few days, Bitcoin's price has shown great volatility. In essence, Trump's statement may have only scratched the surface of a very serious problem. Last week, the Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index fell to its lowest level since 2022, and there are a few reasons why Bitcoin is so bearish right now: firstly, the macroeconomic situation does not constitute a bullish factor for cryptocurrencies, with the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model now projecting that U.S. GDP will contract by 2.8 percent by the end of the first quarter of 2025. From an economic point of view, this forecast is disastrous compared to the 3.9% growth predicted four weeks ago. Another important factor is Trump's proposed tariff policy. Although some analysts believe that tariffs are not the main cause. However, the cryptocurrency market took a tumble when Trump recently announced a 25% tariff on the EU. In other words, macroeconomic factors are largely influencing market sentiment in the cryptocurrency industry. Since the approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETF, cryptocurrencies have become deeply integrated with traditional finance. So if the U.S. economy falls into recession, the downside of this integration will be fully apparent.
