Lately, the crypto market has been all over the place. Big news in the global economy, especially around trade between the U.S. and China, has made investors nervous — and Bitcoin’s price has been bouncing like a yo-yo.
Last week, Bitcoin dropped to $74,000 when President Donald Trump announced new trade tariffs. But just a few days later, it climbed back to $83,000 after he decided to pause those tariffs for all countries except China.
Is Bitcoin Finally Growing Up?
Even though Bitcoin’s price has moved a lot recently, it hasn’t been as crazy as it used to be. According to Julio Moreno from CryptoQuant, this recent price movement is much calmer compared to big events in the past.
Let’s look at some examples:
- In April 2020, during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Bitcoin’s price changed by 72% in just one week.
- When the Terra Luna project crashed in May 2022, it moved 49%.
- After the FTX exchange collapsed later that year, the price shifted 31%.
- When Silicon Valley Bank shut down in early 2023, Bitcoin had another big price swing.
Right now, even with all the trade drama, Bitcoin’s weekly movement is only between 8% to 21%. That’s way more stable compared to the past.
This shows Bitcoin might finally be maturing — becoming a bit more stable and trusted.
Why Isn’t Bitcoin Reacting Like It Used To?
There are a few reasons:
- More people are holding Bitcoin for the long term, not just to make quick money.
- Big companies and investors are getting involved, treating it like a backup plan for tough economic times — kind of like digital gold.
- The crypto market is getting stronger, with better tools and systems in place to handle sudden news.
In simple terms: Bitcoin used to panic easily. Now, it’s more chill
