Bitcoin has rebounded over 16% from recent lows despite earlier market turbulence, showcasing resilience amid global macroeconomic instability. The ‘Bitfinex Alpha’ report highlights BTC’s recovery alongside traditional safe-haven assets like gold, which hit record highs. However, analysts warn of resistance at the $91,000–$92,000 range, where traders’ on-chain realized prices could trigger selling pressure. Bitcoin’s strengthened correlation with gold suggests it is increasingly viewed as a macro hedge rather than just a speculative asset. As global trade tensions and Fed policy uncertainty persist, Bitcoin’s behavior underscores its evolving role in diversified investment strategies.

U.S. stock market futures fell sharply on April 16, with Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures all dropping due to Nvidia’s announcement of a $5.5 billion charge tied to U.S. export restrictions on its H20 AI chips to China. The news dragged down other semiconductor stocks like AMD and Micron Technology, while ASML’s disappointing orders added to the sector’s woes. Investors are now focused on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech and retail sales data for clues on future market trends. The downturn highlights the tech sector’s vulnerability to geopolitical and regulatory risks.

Recent data reveals the S&P 500’s seven-day realized volatility surged to 169%, its highest since the 2020 pandemic crash, while Bitcoin’s volatility doubled to 83%. Investors are shifting away from US assets due to trade war fears, with the S&P 500 dropping 14% in two months. Bitcoin, trading above $82,000, is gaining traction as a low-beta hedge, supported by institutional accumulation. However, regulatory warnings, like those from New York’s Attorney General, highlight concerns over Bitcoin’s threat to the US dollar’s dominance. The contrasting volatility trends and investor behavior underscore a potential paradigm shift in portfolio strategies.

Bitcoin (BTC) dropped more than 3% to $78,200 on April 10, erasing gains from the previous day’s rally triggered by a temporary tariff pause announcement from former President Donald Trump. The reversal came as the White House clarified that tariffs on Chinese imports would sharply rise after a 90-day pause, sparking fears of escalating trade hostilities. Ethereum (ETH) and other altcoins also declined, while traditional markets, including the Dow and S&P 500, saw significant losses. Despite a softer U.S. inflation reading, geopolitical concerns dominated investor sentiment. Bitcoin remains up 40% year-to-date, but the sell-off underscores the fragile balance between crypto momentum and macroeconomic risks.
