Crypto Weekly Roundup – 6th April 2025

📰 Macro Pressure Meets Crypto Uncertainty 

Over the weekend, global markets took a sharp hit as U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping 10% base tariff and an aggressive 34% tariff on Chinese goods shook investor confidence. Roughly $2 trillion was wiped out from U.S. equities, triggering a broad risk-off sentiment across the board.

The DXY (U.S. Dollar Index) surged as investors fled to safety, and Treasury yields spiked, reflecting expectations of prolonged economic tension. Equity markets weren’t the only ones reeling — crypto also felt the tremors.

🚨 Crypto in PvP Mode

The crypto space is caught in a moment of high tension. Bitcoin pulled back from its recent highs, currently hovering around the $77K support, while market participants remain split:

• Bears argue the top is in, fueled by macro headwinds.
• Bulls see this as healthy consolidation before a possible push to a new all-time high (ATH).

Meanwhile, altcoins continue to range, with little momentum or fresh narratives to drive capital rotation. Without new catalysts, the market has entered what can only be described as PvP mode — traders vs. traders — with no clear trend in sight.

🏦 Institutions Stay Cautious

Institutional players appear hesitant, especially when it comes to DeFi exposure, preferring to wait for a clearer macro picture and more regulatory clarity before allocating more capital. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw minor inflows early in the week, but activity has cooled as uncertainty builds.
