Cryptocurrency Trends Signal Potential Shifts as Market Conditions Evolve

Cryptocurrency Performance from 2018 to 2025

Bitcoin (BTC) $104,790 was priced at $82,500 at the time of writing. Many altcoins remain at last year’s levels. In the coming days, Trump will announce tariffs, which could slightly alleviate market uncertainties. As markets gauge their circumstances, extreme fear or optimism may be priced in, and resolving this could benefit cryptocurrencies.

With just hours left in the first quarter of 2025, we have witnessed the worst first-quarter performance since 2018 and 2020. As a crypto-friendly U.S. President takes office, investors have encountered unprecedented events. DaanCrypto shared the following evaluation and table:

“The First Quarter of 2025 is ending.

BTC has its worst first quarter since 2018/2020. Overall quarter isn’t terrible.

$ETH also sees its worst first quarter since 2018, marking the worst overall quarter in 2.5 years.”

Besides showing the worst performance since 2018, BTC faces even grimmer details. Kyle recently reported that we are experiencing the largest selling liquidity since 2018. The inclination of new investors to sell supports Ki Young Ju’s thesis from weeks ago that “bear markets have begun.”

Chainlink (LINK)

BTC is preparing for new lows around the $81,000 mark while continuing to hover below the CME closure. However, Ali Martinez highlighted today that Chainlink $14 (LINK) appears poised for an upward movement in his chart analysis.

“All eyes are on $13.20! This support trend line could serve as a launchpad for the next #Chainlink $LINK recovery, and the TD Sequential is signaling a buy.”
