BTC price hovers around $90,290 while rapid gains in altcoins have stalled or even reversed. Despite the decline in the leading cryptocurrency causing turmoil among altcoins, most cryptocurrencies are ignoring this downturn and awaiting further losses from BTC. How do experts interpret the current situation? What direction are Trump’s recent statements steering the market?
Trump and U.S. Cryptocurrencies
A crypto summit is scheduled for Friday, and yesterday’s announcement heightened expectations leading up to it. Trump is expected to announce a $100 billion investment at 21:30 TSI, while today’s U.S. Manufacturing PMI data came in lower than anticipated.
In response to Zelensky’s remarks about the war potentially dragging on for a long time, Trump stated, “This is the worst comment he could make.” The U.S. President asserted that there will be no further tolerance for Zelensky’s recent statements regarding Russia. Today, Trump will discuss necessary actions regarding Ukraine, and it may be revealed that U.S. military aid has been suspended.
Expert Opinions on Cryptocurrencies
Following announcements regarding BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, and XRP Coin, prices initially surged; however, gains were partially surrendered today alongside BTC’s decline. Trader_XO shared a chart indicating that if key levels are not maintained, the price could revert to $85,000.
“Yesterday, I discussed the importance of holding the 88-90k range in a retest. If we can’t do this, I believe we will pull the entire move back to $85k. I’m open to looking for longs, but I need to see a reason to act – I’m not convinced yet. I currently hold a short position from $94,900.”
XRP Coin analyst Ali Charts pointed out a head and shoulders formation in altcoins. He suggests that if we see a daily close above $3, a significant rally towards $5 could begin.
Such a scenario might be possible amid potential lawsuit news, as the SEC has recently dropped many investigations against troubled parties.
