Bitcoin (BTC) Price Stalled Out in March 2025, Setting the Stage for April's Volatility

In March 2025, Bitcoin displayed notable price volatility. The month started with a sudden drop from 84.29K to 79K in the first two days.

March 2025 saw Bitcoin (BTC) price move with great volatility. The month started with a sudden drop from 84.29K to 79K in the first two days. But the price faced a strong upward trend after the dip. On March 3, BTC hit a high point of $94,359.15.

However, the price surge was a temporary moment. After the mid-month high, Bitcoin faced increased selling pressure. By the end of the first week of March, the price had dropped again to $84,329.04.

The second week was a disappointment for bulls as the price retested the support of $80k again, but failed to rise above $85k in the bounce back.

The third week saw no significant action as the price moved between 81500 to 83500, a mere gap of 2%. This thin spread made it hard for traders to take a good position in the market. Neither bulls nor bears were able to control the market.

The final week started with bulls in charge as the price moved up from $84k to $88k, however, this shall pass quickly as in the last days of March bears are in control.

The price has dropped from the peak of $88k to $82.6 again. The pullback happened at the same time that trading volume dropped sharply, by over 42%, to $19 billion.

As April kicks off, investor focus shifts from price patterns to policy headlines. Former President Donald Trump’s renewed call for aggressive tariffs, particularly targeting imports from China, is sparking discussion across financial markets.

Bitcoin could react to Trump Tariffs in both ways. The economic uncertainty and fears of inflation could benefit BTC. Especially as it is a hedge against inflation. But a surging dollar might temporarily suppress demand for risk-on assets like crypto.
