Bitcoin (BTC) price is bracing for a drop to $75,000 as the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump weigh on financial markets. Bitcoin miners facing
Bitcoin price is trading at $80,267 today after a 7% drop in 24 hours. The cryptocurrency is now trading at its lowest level since June, as the US stock market continues to decline following President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The S&P 500 index has fallen below 6,000 to reach its lowest level in over a month, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is also down over 3% in 24 hours. The widespread losses come amid President Trump’s tariffs on China and the European Union, which have heightened the risk of a potential trade war between the US and these countries.
As a result, traders are abandoning risk assets like Bitcoin and stocks. The recent drop below $80,000 has stirred a bearish Bitcoin price prediction from analyst Arthur Hayes, who opines that BTC faces one more violent downswing before consolidating. He said, "Looking at this price action I think we have one more violent wave down below $80K, most likely over the weekend, then crickets for a while."
At the same time, $1.8 billion in bids have appeared on Binance Futures between the $70,000 and $79,000 price range. While these bids show strong buy-side interest for Bitcoin below the $80,000 price, it also shows that large players are positioning themselves for volatility and another leg down.
Additionally, in a recent analysis note, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, anticipates a swing low to $75,000, before the price consolidates within a wide range between $75,000 – $100,000. Per the analyst, Bitcoin price may continue trading between these levels until new liquidity stirs another rally.
Master Ventures founder Kyle Chasse, also anticipates that Bitcoin price will likely continue crashing until BTC finds “real organic buyers.” According to him, the current crash was because of the unwinding cash and carry trade by arbitrage traders.
The analyst noted that hedge funds, which were previously profiting from the Bitcoin futures premium, are now closing their positions, causing a surge in selling activity.
"The good news is that we're getting close to the point where we may start seeing some real organic buyers come in and start bidding up the price. Once that happens, we'll likely see a swift and furious move higher."
As these factors – Trump tariffs, lack of liquidity, and surging liquidations – come into play, the market sentiment towards Bitcoin price is likely to remain sour. This may stir an extended downtrend towards the $70,000 to $75,000 price range.
