Bitcoin\u2019s price at $76,000. Source: CoinMarketCap<\/a><\/p>\n In the early hours of Tuesday, March 11, Bitcoin fell to $76,000, a figure not seen since last September. In a post on X<\/a>, crypto trader Ali said:<\/p>\n \u201cIf #Bitcoin $BTC holds $80,000, the bull case remains strong. Losing this level, however, could put $69,000 in play as the next key support!\u201d<\/p>\n Bitcoin has risen slightly and is back up around $81,600 at the time of publishing, according to CoinMarketCap. Ether, on the other hand, was down over 9% in 24 hours to $1,920, XRP had fallen more than 2%, at $2.13, and Dogecoin was down over 8.81% to $0.1607.<\/p>\n News of the continued market sell-off comes as investors react to Trump\u2019s<\/a> trade tariffs, the announcement of the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve<\/a>, and the possibility of a recession.<\/p>\n Following Trump\u2019s remarks, the US stock market lost more than $1.7 trillion in value<\/a> yesterday. Elon Musk\u2019s Tesla saw its shares drop by at least 15% to $222, losing over half its value from its December peak at $479.86. In a post on X<\/a>, Musk said: \u201cit will be fine long-term.\u201d<\/p>\n Market conditions haven\u2019t been helped by Trump\u2019s trade tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico. Last month, it was confirmed that Trump was imposing a 25% trade tariff on Canada and Mexico<\/a>; however, this has been delayed until April 2<\/a>. China had a 20% tariff levied against it.<\/p>\n BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes took to X to ask people to be \u201cpatient<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c$BTC likely bottoms around $70k. 36% correction from $110k ATH, v normal for a bull market,\u201d adding:<\/p>\n \u201cTraders will try to buy the dip, if you are more risk averse wait for the central banks to ease then deploy more capital. You might not catch the bottom but you also won\u2019t have to mentally suffer through a long period of sideways and potential unrealised losses.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin drops to $76k after Trump fails to rule out a recession<\/a> appeared first on CoinJournal<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ether dropped 9%, XRP fell 2%, and Dogecoin lost over 8% in 24 hours Investors react to Trump\u2019s comments about a possible recession The US stock market lost more than $1.7 trillion in value Crypto prices have fallen across the board, with Bitcoin dropping below $77,000 as investors continued to react to US President Donald […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2660,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ethereum"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The market reacts<\/h2>\n
