According to the market update from QCP Capital, Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $90,000 for the first time in a month, breaking out of its recent trading range.
The flagship cryptocurrency is currently hovering just below this level, and market sentiment remains under pressure due to broader macroeconomic factors.
QCP Capital attributes part of Bitcoin’s recent weakness to US President Donald Trump’s new trade policies:
These measures have increased economic uncertainty, leading to cautious trading in risky assets, including cryptocurrencies.
In addition, QCP notes that the recent demand for Bitcoin is largely driven by institutions, particularly companies financing BTC purchases through stock-linked bond issuances, such as Strategy.
However, the company warns that this source of finance may be approaching saturation and could potentially limit further corporate demand.
With BTC struggling to maintain key support levels and institutional buying momentum likely slowing, QCP remains cautious about Bitcoin’s short-term outlook.
The next few days could be critical in determining whether Bitcoin will break above $90K or continue its downward trajectory.
