Cryptocurrency Market Update

Today, the broader cryptocurrency market is in consolidation territory with slight rebounds following recent impressive gains. Over the past 24 hours, the crypto’s market capitalization rose by 6.47% to $2.95 trillion. The transaction volume decreased by 15.34% to $149.96 billion.

The fear and greed index decreased to 20, showing extreme fear among traders and investors. This decline suggests increased fear in the market triggered by macroeconomic uncertainty and recent price fluctuations across prominent tokens like BTC, ETH, etc.

> Market is rebounding after the turbulence triggered by Trump. Among the gainers today: $AAVE, $BCH, $ADA, and $JTO. @Aevoxyz launched a pre-market for the Elixir token, while @Bybit_Official announced the $ELX listing but deleted the tweet later.

Trade War Fears

On Sunday, prices of most cryptocurrencies rose sharply after US President Trump announced plans to establish a crypto strategic reserve. The announcement triggered the recovery of most assets on Monday, with BTC’s price surging from a low of $82,876 to a high of $87,688.

However, the rises were short-lived as doubts over the regulatory approval and implementation of the crypto stockpile contributed to drastic corrections today.

Another key factor contributing to current consolidations in crypto prices is Trump’s tariffs. Trump introduced 25% tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico and doubled taxes on imports from China to 20%.
