Why did the crypto market collapse today?
Bitcoin has dropped below $92,000 today, and this is not just an accident. Two days ago, Trump signed a decree imposing tough duties on goods from China, Canada and Mexico, and these countries promised retaliatory measures in response. The world started talking about a new trade war, the markets got nervous, and investors began withdrawing money from risky assets, including crypto.
Why is Bitcoin falling if it is called "digital gold"?
Despite its reputation as a defensive asset, BTC is increasingly behaving like traditional markets — reacting to economic shocks and politics. Analysts note that the fear of a trade war and the aggravation of economic risks force investors to lock in profits, which leads to a drop in prices. Some experts even predict a decline in Bitcoin to $70,000 in February if the tariff situation continues to deteriorate.
Are there any chances of a rebound?
In the long term, Bitcoin remains a strong asset, and its growth to $160,000 – $180,000 in 2025 is still possible. But the coming weeks will show whether it will be able to confirm the status of a defensive instrument or continue to fall amid global economic turbulence.
