Bitcoin finds itself under pressure once more. After reaching a record high of nearly $126,200 just two weeks ago, the leading cryptocurrency has tumbled approximately 7% in the past day, momentarily dipping below $104,000—its lowest point in around four months. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, BNB, and Solana have also seen declines.
The downturn intensified early Friday as global investors offloaded riskier assets, causing both crypto and stock markets to drop simultaneously. Ethereum experienced a nearly 7% decrease, BNB fell over 11%, and Solana lost 8%. Even stocks with significant exposure to cryptocurrency such as Coinbase, Robinhood, and MicroStrategy opened lower.
Once buoyed by hopes of political support and institutional adoption for digital currencies, the market now faces renewed macroeconomic pressures. Investors are seeking safety once again—this time turning to gold rather than Bitcoin as their haven of choice.

However—as policy unpredictability emerged throughout this period—Trump’s tariff measures labeled “Liberation Day” disrupted global trade networks resulting into March-April dips where risky assets plummeted including briefly taking down BTC beneath its annual low at roughly $76K mark too!
