Bitcoin surged about 7.7% in the last 24 hours, helping lift the total crypto market cap around 7.5%, as investors tilt bullish after President Trump's State of the Union address and as Bitcoin developers discuss upgrades to improve programmability, security and scalability. On-chain activity, including active addresses and daily transactions, has picked up, supporting the rally beyond mere sentiment.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana surged as the broader crypto market rallied about 8% to around $2.5 trillion after a lawsuit accusing Jane Street of insider trading sparked chatter that the long-standing 10 a.m. dump had ended. Bitcoin briefly traded above $70,000 with Ethereum up roughly 13% and Solana up over 15%; while analysts noted no public evidence of a fixed selling schedule, the mood shifted from persistent selling pressure to a recovery in the context of Terra-Luna's collapse history.
Bitcoin climbed toward $69,000, triggering more than $400 million in short liquidations in the last 24 hours as Ethereum and Solana rebound (ETH ~$2,075; SOL ~$89). The move helped spur a broader altcoin rally and lifted crypto-related equities.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP fell as an AI scare weighed on markets, with Bitcoin slipping below $65,000 after a Citrini Research note warned AI could push U.S. unemployment into double digits by mid-2028, underscoring how crypto prices remain sensitive to broader equity moves.
Spot bitcoin ETFs have pulled about $4.3 billion in outflows over the past five weeks, with US-listed funds like IBIT and GBTC showing roughly $2.6 billion of outflows in 2026, signaling waning institutional demand even as bitcoin remains in a bear market. The cryptocurrency has traded in a tight $60,000–$70,000 range, with near-term risk centered around $60k support and a potential rally above $72k–$75k. Macro headwinds—higher interest rates, a stronger dollar, and tariff uncertainty—keep pressure on risk assets. Analysts say a sustained rebound would likely require renewed institutional and real-economy adoption of bitcoin as a store of value, rather than a single data point trend.
Bitcoin fell below $63,000 as the crypto market extended its slide amid extreme fear, briefly hitting about $62,700 before rebounding to around $63,200. ETFs continued to see net outflows, and analysts say the downturn reflects macro headwinds and ongoing deleveraging rather than full capitulation, with a critical support zone at $60,000–$63,000 and the risk of a deeper drop if that level breaks.
Bitcoin slid to about $63,800—roughly 50% below its October peak—as a confluence of macro shocks (tariff hikes, higher-for-longer rate expectations, and leverage) weighed on risk assets. Analysts say the move reflects macro pressures rather than a fundamental breakdown of Bitcoin’s four-year cycle; a fall toward $55k isn’t ruled out, but many expect stabilization in the mid-$60k range and a gradual recovery as demand returns and ETF outflows wane. Near-term liquidity stress also produced large crypto liquidations, with over $500M in outsized positions wiped out across markets.
Bitcoin slipped about 4% to roughly $64,443 as Trump announced a 15% global tariff under a 1974 Trade Act provision, injecting policy uncertainty. Since the start of 2026, bitcoin has fallen about 25%, gold futures rose around 2.9%, and crypto-related stocks like Robinhood and Strategy also declined on the tariff news, which Deutsche Bank framed as a temporary measure with potential legal challenges.
Bitcoin slid more than 5% to around $64,500, dipping below $65,000 as a rapid two‑hour selloff hit thin liquidity and pushed the price to six straight weekly closes under the 100‑week moving average; on‑chain data shows whales moving coins to exchanges while some investors sold at a loss. Meanwhile, institutions continued accumulating BTC through regulated ETF exposure (IBIT) and notable buyers like Mubadala and Al Warda expanded holdings, underscoring ongoing volatility and divergent supply/demand dynamics.
XRP is on track for its fifth consecutive red monthly candle; historically this pattern preceded explosive rallies, but today’s $88B market cap makes a 60,000% surge unlikely. Analysts see 150-250% upside if the pattern repeats, driven by ETF inflows and a Bitcoin rebound, with a path back toward the July 2025 high of $3.65–$5.00 in reach. Key levels to watch are support around $1.50–$1.60 and a Bitcoin rally above roughly $75k to spark a reversal.
Bitcoin fell to about $64,830 in early trading, dropping nearly 5% from Sunday to Monday and hitting a weekend low of around $64,324 as investors pull back from risk assets amid tariff uncertainty and rising U.S.–Iran tensions; year-to-date, bitcoin is down about 24% while gold has gained roughly 20%.
Bitcoin dropped below $65,000 as macro headlines and risk-off sentiment hit crypto markets, with hundreds of millions of dollars in long positions liquidated in an hour and Ether, XRP, and Solana also sliding; analysts say the move reflects broad risk-off dynamics driven by geopolitical jitters, weak U.S. data, and ETF outflows, with traders watching for a support level around $60–66k and potential catalysts for a rebound.
Stock futures fell Sunday night after President Trump announced an immediate 15% global tariff, heightening inflation and global-growth concerns; major futures slipped about 0.6%–1%, while oil and Bitcoin declined. Investors await White House clarity on tariffs amid a choppy week, with Nvidia earnings and Monday’s durable-goods/factory-orders data in focus as the State of the Union approaches.
Bitcoin fell more than 5% to about $64.8K after President Trump signaled global tariffs of 15%, with the move reflecting renewed macro risk and weak liquidity. Analysts say the drop is part of a broader bear market pattern rather than a single catalyst, as investors rotate into safe havens like gold and rotate out of risk assets; Bitcoin has shed roughly 26% this year and over 47% from its October high, with some expecting potential downside toward $50K before a durable bottom forms.
Ledn sold $188 million in bonds secured by bitcoin, with Jefferies as structuring agent and bookrunner. The two-tranche deal is backed by 4,078.87 BTC (about $357 million) and includes an investment-grade tranche priced at 335 basis points over the benchmark rate, and carries a BBB- rating, signaling growing demand for bitcoin-backed credit.
