In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin recorded volatilty, with its price dropping from above $85,000 to $83,000 levels on April 16, before a rebound today.
Since Monday, Bitcoin traded mostly between $83,000 and $84,000 levels, despite the recent market turmoil triggered by multiple factors, including Trump’s tariffs.
Since Trump’s recent announcement, Bitcoin recorded price volatilty, but mostly managed to remain above $80,000, despite some voices in the industry questioning its safe haven status viability.
Ethereum Price Trajectory

In the past 24 hours, ETH also recorded a price rebound, following a dip to $1,546 yesterday, hitting a top above $1,600 today.
The Crypto Industry Maintains Optimism Ahead of Easter
This week began with a meeting between the US President, Trump, and El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, both Bitcoin supporters, bringing optimism in the industry.
Also, yesterday, the Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, said that the US economy remains strong despite the ongoing uncertainty, another bullish announcement for Bitcoin. He also said that crypto is going mainstream, addressing the necessity of a legal framework for stablecoins and the loosening of bank rules on crypto.
This month, the US expects QE, which would trigger more capital flow in the Bitcoin and crypto markets.
Considering these factors and the continued global crypto adoption, there are plenty of reasons to remain optimistic ahead of Easter and maintain hope in the future of Bitcoin and the crypto industry.
