Over the weekend, cryptocurrency markets experienced significant declines. Experts attribute this to tariff threats from former US President Donald Trump and macroeconomic uncertainties.
Trump's Statements and Economic Uncertainty
Trump’s potential tariff increases and comments on Bitcoin reserves have triggered concerns worldwide. Swissblock analysts noted that these policies have heightened perceptions of economic risk. Investors became more cautious amid negative macroeconomic signals, accelerating the wave of sell-offs.
New Investors’ Panic Selling
According to 10X Research, about 70% of the selling started when Bitcoin fell below $80,000 came from new investors. Inexperienced investors struggled to withstand market fluctuations, leading to faster exits, which increased price pressures. An increase in stop-loss orders also contributed to the higher selling pressure.
Risk Management Recommendations
Experts emphasize the importance of risk management strategies and making decisions based on technical indicators. Figures like Timothy Peterson warn that the Fed's decision not to cut interest rates by 2025 could add further pressure. Investors are advised to prepare for short-term volatility and focus on diversifying their portfolios.
The market downturn highlights the importance of paying attention to macroeconomic conditions and political statements. New investors should pay attention to risk management strategies.
