  • The American import tariff and financial deficit may weigh the morale of Bitcoin investor.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to $ 10,400 on Friday after facing a strong rejection near the level of $ 110,500 on Thursday. The decline coincided with $ 1 billion of net flows in ETFS for two days.

This decline can simply reflect the profits before the weekend, especially since Bitcoin was only 1.5 % lower.

Bitcoin sleeping wallet scares the market by transporting 80,000 BTC

Some market participants argue that investors were concerned after the long -awaited Bitcoin portfolio transferred the coins for the first time in years.

Although the concerns related to potential sale are valid, adult holders who transport sleeper coins are not unusual.

In May, headlines dating back to more than 3,420 BTC were transferred. In November 2024, another 2000 BTC wallet has moved for 14 years. Similar events occurred in March 2024, with 1000 BTC, and in November 2023, with another 6500 BTC. These isolated movements were not historically linked to the repercussions of the long -term direction.

As Bloomberg said, the Hartnet team noted that “the risk of bubble was rising” after the United States government agreed to a “$ 3.4 trillion financial package that reduces taxes.” The increasing financial expectations may weaken the demand for long -term government bonds, which in turn can weigh the broader risk markets, including bitcoin.

At the same time, according to what the Trump administration has started sending notifications to other countries “setting tariff prices” if there are no trade deals before the deadline next Wednesday. This economic uncertainty, instead of any specific encryption factor, provides a more convincing explanation of the inability of Bitcoin to retain $ 110,000.
