Bitcoin Reaches Six-Week High of $92984.58

Bitcoin reached a six-week high of $92984.58 on April 23, 2025, with a 6.83% increase during 24 hours.

Bitcoin price reached a six-week high of $92,984.58 on Monday after President Donald Trump said he will substantially reduce tariffs on China and signaled a de-escalation of trade tensions.

Bitcoin is currently confronted with a significant resistance zone that lies between $91,000 and $92,000, according to the X post. This has been a stubborn hurdle with the smart money paying close attention to the price action. Recently, this resistance has been broken above $93,000, however, the retraction to $92,984.58 implies that the volatility is still possible.

According to CNBC on April 7, 2025, his earlier tariff threats had created fears of a global recession that touched everything from asset classes to cryptocurrencies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen for the past three sessions on those concerns.

Now that Trump has softened his stance, it seems the pressure has been relieved. His comments on Truth Social about setting “tough but fair parameters” with countries like China and Japan have shifted market sentiment. This change has affected Bitcoin, in particular, since it is susceptible to reacting to macroeconomic developments.

On April 8, 2025, Newsweek’s report also states that the crypto community was divided over Trump’s tariff policies. However, this asset also fell sharply to $74,500 earlier this month, due to tariff-related market turbulence, despite being a borderless asset, some still believed it would be immune to trade barriers.

For instance, investor confidence is renewed, as Bitcoin recovered from $79,000 to the current $92,984.58. The potential of Federal Reserve actions, such as interest rate cuts or quantitative easing, could also support the price of Bitcoin, according to CoinCorner’s Danny Scott in the Newsweek article.

On-Chain Metrics Signal Caution

The price has gone up, but on-chain data tells a different story. An X post mentioned that the 146,000 BTC demand decline over 30 days reflects a weakening of buying pressure. This metric, combined with low momentum, implies that the current rally may not have the foundation for such an extended trend upwards.

The fact that there are positive total inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) amounting to $381 million is not sufficient to counteract the concerns of the broader market. It is not possible for the $2.9 billion increase in the market value of USDT to power rallies of Bitcoin in the range of $5 billion.

External factors such as the Bitcoin halving effect could influence future price movements. In the past, prices have gone up following the last halving (which was around 12 months ago) due to a decrease in supply. Other macroeconomic conditions still play a dominant role, but so do Trump’s trade policies.
