💬 🔍 Opinion: Here’s why Bitcoin and altcoin prices may surge after the crypto Black Monday.

📉 Price Decline:

Bitcoin fell to $74,428 on April 7, which is 31% lower than its peak this year. Ethereum dropped below $1,500, and other altcoins, such as Berachain (-18.83%), Zcash (-19.22%), and Litecoin (-10.65%), also experienced significant losses.

Market Correlation:

The crash in the crypto market coincided with a decline in the stock market, where the Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, and S&P 500 indices fell by more than 5%. This is linked to trade tensions and tariffs imposed by President Trump, raising recession concerns.

Recovery Factors:

🇯🇵🇺🇸🇻🇳 Negotiations:

Trump is open to negotiations with Vietnam and Japan, which could lead to trade agreements.

🔽Rate Cuts:

The Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates, which could support the economy.

Outlook:

A combination of trade negotiations and rate cuts may help restore the crypto market, similar to the recovery seen in 2021.

👀 💸 Bitcoin has fully recovered from the drop caused by the "tariff black swan" and has returned to pre-crash levels. It looks strong and structurally sound, with a chance for a reversal.

However, risks remain, and new volatility could arise at any moment due to trade wars between the U.S. and China. Breaking new lows will be more challenging, as stronger triggers will be needed for that.
