Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies rallied after the U.S. House of Representatives introduced a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill. The bill, known as the Bitcoin Act of 2025, was presented by Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) to establish a reserve without using taxpayer funding. Notably, Senator Cynthia Lummis also reintroduced the “BITCOIN Act” on Tuesday, which now features more cosponsors from the Senate than before. Following the news, Bitcoin surged 7.69% to $82,733.64, briefly crossing the $83,000 mark. It is now trading at $82,316, a 2.5% rise in the past day. The announcement also pushed Bitcoin’s market dominance to 61.3%, its highest level in a year. In parallel, Ethereum rose 5.57% to $1,910.35, rebounding from below $1,800. XRP is now trading at $2.22, up 5% today after initially dipping to $1.92. Dogecoin also climbed 10.04% to $0.1652. Meanwhile, several less prominent altcoins also posted strong gains during the period. Kaspa shot up 27.07% to $0.4805, while Bittensor and Celestia jumped 20.60% and 19.59%, respectively.

Bitcoin’s Open Interest has increased by 0.48% in the past day, signaling renewed investor interest. Futures traders now turned more bullish, with 51% holding long positions. In addition, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index also improved, moving from “Extreme Fear” to “Fear.” Despite the rebound, analysts warn that Bitcoin still faces a key resistance zone. Crypto strategist Michaël van de Poppe stated that Bitcoin must surpass $83,500 to sustain its rally. If it does, he predicts a swift move toward $88,000-$92,000 in the short term. On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows strong buying pressure, with whales accumulating more than 65,000 BTC over the past 30 days. This pattern resembles the accumulation phase between November and December, which preceded Bitcoin’s previous major rally.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.14%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.75%. Market participants are now awaiting February’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, set for release Wednesday, to assess inflation trends and the Federal Reserve’s potential response.

President Donald Trump spooked Bitcoin and other markets after announcing a tariff increase on Canadian steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%, citing Ontario’s 25% tariff on U.S. electricity. According to Trump’s Truth Social post , the new tariffs will take effect on March 12. Trump also called on Canada to remove up to 390% dairy tariffs and warned of higher tariffs on Canadian cars by April 2. In his statement, President Trump criticized Canada’s longstanding tariffs on U.S. dairy products, which range from 250% to 390%, labeling them as “outrageous.” He further threatened to declare a national emergency concerning electricity to counter what he described as an “abusive threat” from Canada. Additionally, Trump warned that if Canada does not eliminate other “egregious” tariffs, the U.S. will substantially increase tariffs on Canadian automobile imports starting April 2—a move he claims would effectively “shut down the automobile manufacturing business in Canada.” Trump also said that “the only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty-First State. This would make all tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear.” Markets reacted to the announcement. Bitcoin ( BTC ) fell 4.2%, dipping below $80,000 while The Dow Jones dropped nearly 600 points. Investors responded to both the trade tensions and the administration’s statement that no new Bitcoin purchases were planned for the national strategic reserve. Bitcoin has rebounded to above $81,000 at the time of writing. The tariff dispute follows Trump’s tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods. Canada and Mexico have pushed back, citing trade agreement violations.

The financial and crypto markets continue to experience sharp declines, as investors await inflation data and decisions from the FED. Despite favorable regulatory advances, bitcoin and ethereum are plunging, seeking a deliverance that will certainly come from the forthcoming data on the CPI and the FOMC. But what will it really be like? Wall Street continues its bearish trend started this Monday , recording a sharp correction. Indeed, the S&P 500 is down 2.6%, the Nasdaq-100 drops 3.1%, and the Dow Jones retreats by 2.2%. This tension has impacted Asia, where futures for the Nikkei 225 and the Hang Seng indicate further losses. In this context of nervousness, bitcoin has fallen by 5.8% to $76,838, while ethereum has plummeted 11.5% to $1,795. As the crypto market feels the pressure, the Trump administration is preparing an executive order aimed at revoking the banking restrictions imposed under Biden. The initiative would seek to cancel “Operation Chokepoint 2.0”, a controversial policy that allegedly limited crypto companies’ access to banking services. This initiative had already been announced last January by Travis Hill. The decree could also clarify the status of stablecoins and relax the FED’s rules regarding banks holding digital assets. This shift aligns with the White House’s new pro-crypto direction, following recent statements by Trump about creating a national bitcoin reserve. Investors are eagerly awaiting the publication of the consumer price index (CPI) on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 , which is expected to show an increase of 0.3% in February (compared to 0.5% in January). The annual inflation rate is expected to be 2.9%, slightly down from 3% in January. Any upside surprise could delay the rate cuts projected by the FED, putting further pressure on the stock and crypto markets. Moreover, the upcoming FOMC meeting on March 18 and 19, 2025, could have a devastating effect on cryptos, particularly bitcoin. As the crypto market capitalization continues to fall, the FED’s tightening monetary policy is causing concern. However, some analysts believe that the recent drop in the dollar , the largest since the financial crisis of 2008, could boost the markets in the coming months.

Bitcoin plunged below $80K on Monday, March 10, dropping to lows of $77,490 as the crypto market suffered another bloodbath. But despite the potential for Bitcoin ( BTC ) to dip further, Nigel Green, chief executive officer of global financial advisory giant deVere Group, holds a bullish view. He explained why the bull market may not be over for Bitcoin in an analysis shared with crypto.news. According to Green, one factor to consider is that BTC’s price has dropped sharply just days after President Donald Trump’s executive order on a strategic Bitcoin reserve. While the macro environment could catalyze an extended dip, Green remains confident that Bitcoin and digital assets are still in a bullish phase. “The market’s reaction betrays a short-sightedness that will likely be corrected as investors digest the broader implications of the move.In our opinion, [what] investors should be focusing on is that this executive order makes it more likely Bitcoin will be a geopolitically significant asset in the future.” the deVere CEO noted. Other experts have also highlighted how significant Trump’s executive order and the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve are. The argument is that BTC is evolving “beyond a speculative asset” as it gains global adoption. The U.S. strategic reserve sets the tone and tempo. A notable observation about BTC’s price action in recent days is that holders seem to have dumped their positions amid disappointment that the U.S. government isn’t immediately buying large amounts of Bitcoin. That also explains the selling pressure on altcoins like Ripple ( XRP ), Solana ( SOL ), and Cardano ( ADA ) following the executive order and the White House summit. However, Green says the market should look beyond simple BTC purchases and focus on what the strategic reserve means for the long term. In his view, the U.S. has opened the door to a potential global scramble, with other countries joining the race to create Bitcoin reserves. “Countries with a history of accumulating alternative assets, such as gold, may view this as a cue to diversify further into digital assets. Sovereign wealth funds, central banks, and institutional investors will all take notice,” deVere CEO added. Despite the short-term price action, largely driven by knee-jerk reactions, the reserve joins other key events that have shaped BTC’s growth over the years—such as Tesla’s purchase of Bitcoin and the launch of the first spot BTC exchange-traded funds With the U.S. government holding Bitcoin in reserve, what’s likely to follow are clear and favorable regulations. “As the dust settles, the strategic reserve announcement will likely be seen as a moment of validation for bitcoin’s role in the financial system, rather than a cause for concern,” he concluded. At the time of writing, Bitcoin hovered near $78,426, with the bleeding having pushed the flagship digital asset down nearly 6% in the past 24 hours and -14% in the past week. This slump has aligned with a dump on Wall Street . On Monday, the sell-off continued with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average recording sharp declines amid fresh uncertainty around tariffs and economy. It’s an outlook that suggests risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, could face more short-term selling pressure.

The American economy is going through a turbulent phase. Between rising inflation and a marked slowdown in growth, a long-forgotten specter resurfaces: stagflation. This phenomenon, which combines economic stagnation and rising prices, recalls the crises of the 1970s. Today, Donald Trump’s new tariff policies reignite fears of a return to that era when growth was at a standstill and purchasing power was eroding rapidly. The American president’s decision to impose heavy taxes on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada raises many questions about its real effects on the economy. As the Federal Reserve is pressed into a corner, markets are faltering, and businesses are concerned about the repercussions on their profitability. The Trump administration has decided to toughen its stance on imports, with increases in customs tariffs hitting several major trading partners hard. Indeed, the president announced a 25 % increase on products from Mexico and Canada, as well as a doubling of the customs duties on Chinese imports, now raised to 20 %. “We will finally restore trade balance and protect our domestic industries,” he declared during a press conference at the White House. But on the ground, the impact is already being felt. According to a report from the Department of Commerce, household consumption fell in January, marking its steepest decline in nearly four years. At the same time, producer prices have risen, further fueling inflation. Companies are starting to sound the alarm: Target, one of the largest retailers in the country, has warned that its margins will be “significantly impacted” by the rise in import costs. In the manufacturing sector, the ISM index shows that industrial activity is slowing down, with a drop in new orders and a surge in raw material costs. As the effects of tariffs start to weigh on the real economy, the financial markets are not immune. Since the beginning of March, the Dow Jones has lost 4.5 %, erasing the gains achieved after Trump’s reelection last November. This downward movement reflects the growing distrust of investors, who fear that the American economy may become trapped in a negative spiral of inflation and stagnation. “We are witnessing a collapse in consumer confidence and a sharp rise in uncertainty,” explains Mark Hackett, chief strategist at Nationwide. Investors are reacting and are turning massively to government bonds, resulting in a drop in the yield on the 10-year Treasury to 4.2 %. This phenomenon, known as an inverted yield curve, is historically a precursor signal of recession. Meanwhile, other alternative assets are benefiting from this instability: gold and bitcoin are both rising, confirming their status as safe havens in times of crisis. Thus, the question is no longer whether the economy will slow down, but rather at what speed and with what intensity. The acceleration of inflation combined with a slowdown in growth places the Federal Reserve in a strategic deadlock. Should it lower its rates to restart activity, risking exacerbating inflation? Or conversely, maintain them at a high level, potentially worsening economic slowdown? A delicate decision that recalls the difficult choices of the 1970s when the Fed ultimately sacrificed growth to break inflation. In the meantime, businesses, investors, and consumers remain suspended over the next economic indicators. If stagflation were to become established, it could mark a turning point in American monetary and fiscal policy. But beyond the United States, this uncertainty could well spread to global markets, creating a new cycle of instability.
