The post Crypto Market Live Today—BTC Slips Below $82,000 While ETH, SOL, & XRP Juggle Around Crucial Support appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The weekly trade has begun on a bearish note, with the prices of most tokens plunging close to their pivotal support levels. Bitcoin bulls tried hard to keep the rally above the support but failed as the price slipped below $82,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum and XRP prices hover around $1800 and $2, respectively. Besides, Four (FORM) & Zcash (ZEC) display some strength but hold marginal gains between 5% and 9%. Why is the Crypto Market Down Today? The ETFs are recording consecutive outflows, which suggests the bearish sentiments of the investors. Meanwhile, the major reason for the pullback is said to be the uncertainty ahead of the new tariffs by the United States, which are set to begin on 02 April 2025. With this, experts believe a potential increase in the inflation rates that could negatively impact the market. Along with this, the EU CPI & unemployment rates and the US unemployment, non-farm payrolls, and Fed Chair Powell’s speech are scheduled for this week, which may keep up the volatility within the markets. Now that the BTC dominance is rising, a drop in the price could impact the entire crypto markets. What’s Next for Bitcoin Price and the Crypto Markets? The Bitcoin price has dropped but does carry a strong scope of a bullish rebound. As per some reports, the long-term holders have again begun to accumulate BTC along with the whales. This sheds light on the bullish possibilities, but the external tariffs and inflation rattled the markets. The historical strong Q1 patterns were not met, stirring investors’ doubts. However, experts believe Bitcoin could hedge against chaos if conditions settle. The technicals have turned bearish at the moment, suggesting potential market corrections. Hence, after the bearish quarterly close, one can expect some relief with the beginning of the fresh quarterly trade. Meanwhile, the sluggish behavior of the bulls may hinder the progress of the rally and compel the markets to remain under bearish pressure.
