Despite the fall of the market, experts see opportunities to buy cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies, as well as other financial markets, faced strong volatility after US President Donald Trump announce their reciprocal tariff plan

Cryptocurrencies faced strong volatility after US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday (2) their respective tariff plans for the coming months, a measure known as “Liberation Day.” Among the main movements, Bitcoin (BTC) dropped 9.30% in the last 30 days, while some of the main altcoins – a term used to identify any cryptocurrency other than BTC – fell 20% and even more than 30% in the same period, as is the case of solana (SOL), XRP (XRP), among others.

Despite this low movement, experts from 11 financial houses consulted by Infomoney see the fall as a purchase opportunity for cryptors. According to them, the outlook for the digital asset market in the coming months is positive, especially for Bitcoin, the largest crypto in the world.

“In the case of a reduction in volatility, and greater clarity in relation to tariffs, we can observe a strong recovery in assets, packed among others by a return of capital fl owings for captolings (cryptocurrency). In addition, we highlight the potential for new highs in Bitcoin in the coming months,” said Theodoro Fleury, manager and director of investments at QR Asset Management.

Check out the main cryptors for April, recommended by 11 houses consulted by Infomoney. Only tokens that received at least two nominations were included in the list.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Pedro Gutiérrez, Latam director of Coinex, said that both in April and in the next two months, Bitcoin will enter a phase of renewed strength, driven by both entries in the ETFs (index funds) in view of crypto in the United States, as well as the expectation of interest-rate cuts and the cripper policy in the country.

“Capital flows are constant for Bitcoin ETFs in sight approved in the U.S., marking an inflection point, creating sustained institutional demand. From a macroeconomic point of view, the expectations that the Fed will begin to cut interest in the 2nd quarter can provide an additional impetus to risk appetite in markets, including BTC. Finally, the geopolitical chapter that can make many reassess the role of bitcoin as reserve assets or protection against tax uncertainties is crucial. In summary, we can expect interesting dynamics for bitcoin in April and the coming months,” he explained.

Solana (SOL)

Solana is being traded in the $127 range, lower than its $250 level, registered last year. “Even with the correction, the ecosystem is still robust, with high DeFi and NFTs activity, as well as fast transactions and low fees,” said Vinicius Bellezzo, Business Development Manager at Bybit. Bitget analyst Rafael Bonvento said the key level to be monitored now is the resistance at US$147.50.

“If the price breaks this barrier with good strength, it can signal a return of control to the bulls, paving the way to test the higher resistances at US$178.00 and US$218.67. A move below the lower support at US$106.40 could indicate a continuation of the bearish trend and lead to a deeper correction,” he added.

XRP (XRP)

Beto Fernandes, analyst at Foxbit, said it is undeniable that XRP is being followed closely in the market. “Not only is the company behind the cryptocurrency close to Donald Trump’s administration, but its CEO confirmed that the U.S. Securities Commission (SEC) has dropped the four-year case against Ripple Labs. That is, regulatory flexibility may be favoring XRP, which may bring opportunities for investors in the coming weeks, at least for speculative positions.”

Fernandes explained that the cryptocurrency’s price may be influenced by the legal battle with the SEC, which began in December 2020 and spanned 1,044 days. The case involved allegations of XRP token sales without registration, defrauding investors. However, in a surprising move on March 22, 2024, the SEC dropped the case, paving the way for a potential price increase.

“The news was well received by the market, and the token’s price reacted positively. The scenario also opens up the possibility of an eventual approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF by the U.S. and, consequently, greater institutional interest in cryptoassets, which can heat up the market even more in the coming months, especially if we consider the macroeconomic scenario with interest-rate hikes and the threat of a recession.”

Sui (SUI)

Among the new generation of tokens, highlighting Sui (SUI), which has already made a strategic reserve agreement within the Liberty World program, a program of Defi supported by Trump, “which can be an important qualitative leap for them,” said Caio Villa, Cio da Uniera.

According to the analyst, another potential advantage, still unknown, is that Sui is a crypto developed in the United States, which can lead
