Bitcoin showed an unusual force in a context of economic instability, its price amounting by almost 7% in last week to reach around $ 84,000 and even briefly affecting $ 86,000. This occurs while the main American stock market indices such as the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ have struck a year and bond yields have reached levels not seen since 2007.
The Crypto Wintermute trading company noted that Bitcoin “resisted relatively well … revisiting the price levels of the American electoral period”. During past slowdowns, Bitcoin generally experienced higher decreases than traditional financial assets. “This marks a notable change in its historical behavior in crisis situations,” wrote the firm. Wintermute has linked this performance to an increasing institutional presence and the changing nature of the feeling of investors around Bitcoin.
The new data from the US Labor Statistics Bureau showed that the consumer price index increased 2.4% in annual shift in March, but decreased by 0.1% per month, which obtained the first monthly decline since May 2020. The production price index also slowed down, increasing by 2.7% in March after an increase of 3.2% in February. Wintermute stressed that “despite this progress towards the inflation objective of 2% of the Fed, recent climbing in global trade tensions has introduced new potential inflationist risks, which are not yet reflected in March data.”
According to Bitwise, the interest of companies for Bitcoin continues to increase. In the first quarter of 2025, 12 new public companies added Bitcoin to their balance sheets. This pushed the total of companies for companies to 688,000 BTC, an increase of 16% of an estimated value at $ 57 billion. Analysts say that this influences the way Bitcoin reacts to macroeconomic trends.
Jeff Park, analyst at Bitwise, said recent American trade policies will likely lead to short -term financial instability. “The tariff costs, most likely by higher inflation, will be shared by the United States and the business partners, but the relative impact will be much heavier on foreigners,” he said. Park thinks that these conditions can lead to an increase in the adoption of bitcoin.
Kalshi’s prediction markets are currently placed the probability of an American recession this year at 61%, while JPMorgan analysts estimate it 60%. The increase in tariffs and geopolitical frictions may influence inflation, growth and appetite for investor risks in the coming months.
Alex Obchakevich, founder of Obchakevich Research, believes that the current trend may not last. “While the trade war is intensifying, Bitcoin can return to the list of risky assets. Because investors will most likely seek salvation in gold,” he said. It has credited the recent price stability in the participation of ETFs and the growing image of Bitcoin as “digital gold”.
