Introduction
Review of the Previous Week:
Last week, Bitcoin’s price dropped to $94,300 (-2.6%), driven by rising U.S. bond yields and a stronger dollar. This highlights how broader economic factors are influencing the crypto market. Additionally, Bitcoin’s price mirrored U.S. stock trends, reflecting a strong connection between the two markets and increasing sensitivity to global financial changes.
Market Changes Since Last Week:
Since last week, the BTC/USD pair has stayed mostly unchanged. However, the overall cryptocurrency market is becoming more active, especially with altcoins. Experts, like those at Presto Research, believe 2025 could be a big year for altcoins, with major growth expected thanks to more companies getting involved and new technologies being developed.
