Bitcoin Continues Decline To $77k
About The Author
The price of Bitcoin slumped to $77,158.52 as of 11:30 AM WAT on Monday, riding on the back of newly imposed trade tariffs by President Donald Trump on all goods being exported to the United States by countries, according to price data from Block Chain.
It is currently trading 6.65 percent below the $83,504.80 it closed at on Saturday, April 5, 2025.
Bitcoin had rallied in the weeks after the election victory of President Trump, who was pro-crypto and vowed to make the U.S. a Bitcoin superpower.
However, an escalation of trade tariffs and fears of slowing growth have weighed on the digital currency.
Despite this, some analysts still see potential for a rebound, according to reports. “Despite near-term volatility, uncertainty is decreasing, and institutional buying pressure is returning. With key catalysts aligning, we expect Bitcoin to rebuild momentum and make another attempt at $90,000 in the near future,” said BRN analyst Valentin Fourner.
