The cryptocurrency market took a major hit after President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcement, wiping out $509 million in value. Bitcoin dropped to $82,352, as traders struggled to hold the $83,000 level. It briefly climbed back to $88,000, only to slip again, adding to market uncertainty.

Bitcoin wasn't the only one feeling the impact. The entire crypto market shrank by 3.43 percent, with Ethereum falling over 6 percent and Solana losing 6.6 percent. Despite a small rebound near $82,000, selling pressure remains high, keeping investors cautious.

But while panic spread among some traders, others saw an opportunity. Big-money investors are making bold moves, Bitcoin ETFs are seeing a surprising rebound, and institutional demand is showing no signs of slowing down.

Bitcoin ETFs See a Surprising Comeback

While the market reacted negatively to the tariff news, Bitcoin ETF inflows bounced back in a big way. Investors saw the price drop as an opportunity, pouring in $220 million into Bitcoin ETFs. The quick rebound suggests institutional investors are still confident in Bitcoin's long-term potential.

Fidelity's FBTC and Ark Invest's ARK led the inflows, while BlackRock's IBIT saw outflows. This mix of reactions shows that some investors are taking a cautious approach, while others are doubling down.

ETF Inflows Recover After a Slow Start

Bitcoin ETF had a slow start to the week but saw a strong recovery on April 2 as investors reacted to the latest developments.

Fidelity's Bitcoin Trust (FBTC) saw major inflows of $119 million, while Ark Invest's Ark Future Unconstrained Fund ETF (ARKA) also saw significant inflows of $130 million. On the other hand, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) experienced outflows of $116 million.

Despite mixed signals, many institutional investors appear to be treating Trump's tariffs as a buying opportunity rather than a long-term risk.

Institutional Investors Keep Stacking Bitcoin

Large-scale investors are continuing to buy Bitcoin, further cementing its role as a key financial asset. Publicly traded firms now hold 696,456 BTC in total.

Last week alone, eight companies added 26,303 BTC to their holdings, highlighting the ongoing interest and commitment from institutional players.

Among the most active buyers are Michael Saylor's Strategy and Japan's Metaplanet, which continue to increase their Bitcoin reserves.

Bitcoin's Current Market Sentiment

Even with growing institutional interest, Bitcoin fell sharply from $88,000 to $81,000 following Trump's tariff announcement. However, instead of scaring investors away, the sell-off triggered a surge in trading activity.

Daily trading volume shot up by 85 percent, reaching $54 billion, showcasing that Bitcoin continues to attract strong market participation.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $83,394, with a total market value of $1.65 trillion.

Will Bitcoin Break Through or Drop Again?

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has identified a key price range between $86,900 and $84,800. He suggests that whichever side breaks first on the hourly chart could determine Bitcoin's next major move.

As institutional investors are actively buying again and the market is closely watching to see whether Bitcoin can push past resistance or if another drop is coming.

Bitcoin's price remains highly volatile, but institutional investors don't seem to be worried. Their continued buying suggests they still see Bitcoin as a valuable long-term asset.

The market's had a punch in the face, but Bitcoin isn't down for the count – let's see what its next move brings.
