Bitcoin’s Volatilty Amidst Market Turbulence

Bitcoin recorded a volatile week, dropping from $96,000 on February 24 to current levels. The price decline was triggered by multiple sell-offs in the market, continued outflows from BTC ETFs, and political uncertainty triggered by Trump’s latest tariff threats to the EU.

This week’s market decline comes following the recent LIBRA memecoin scandal, and the Bybit $1.5 billion hack.

Bitcoin is currently down by about 25% from its ATH above $108,000 recorded in January.

While the Fear and Greed crypto index currently shows 21, this week, some traders have been buying the dip, taking Trump’s son, Eric Trump’s advice.

Binance’s CEO, Richard Teng also addressed the recent market turbulence saying that it’s important to view it as a tactical retreat, and not a reversal.

Also, it’s important to note that the exploration of digital asset bipartisan legislation has been recently confirmed in the US, meaning clearer crypto regulations. The SEC has just officially stated that it does not view memecoins as securities.
