Bitcoin is losing ground: investors are concerned about macroeconomics and US decisions

In the morning, the capitalization of the crypto market amounted to $2.756 trillion, having decreased by $17 billion. The share of BTC is 59.1%, ETH – 7.92%. Bitcoin has been trading in the range of $81,565-88,765 over the past week, ending with a 4.29% drop to $82,389. The market was influenced by geopolitics and macroeconomics, including Trump's trade policy, which increased investor concern.

On March 31, the BTC exchange rate dropped to $81.278 after Trump's statements about duties on Russian oil if the crisis around Ukraine continues. By noon, bitcoin had grown and was trading at $82,084. Technical analysis shows that bitcoin was unable to overcome the resistance of $88,600, maintaining a «bearish» trend. Support is at $81,000, and its breakdown may lead to a drop to $76,000.

The growth attempts recorded at the beginning of the week eventually led to the formation of a stable downward trend. The market situation remains closely linked to the dynamics of US stock indexes and largely depends on the news dictated by the actions of the Trump administration, inflation indicators and decisions of the US Federal Reserve.
