2025 was a challenging start for crypto currencies. The decline, which is particularly under the leadership of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), led to significant losses in market value. The US change in the US, the new President Donald Trump, who is expected to be crypto -friendly policies, started to work, and the influence of the strategy of “take, sell with the rumor and sell with crypto investors. This led to accelerate the correction movements in the market. Now, investors and analysts are focused on when the downward trend will end and at what levels the market will be balanced.
Large decrease for crypto currencies: market value decreased by 1.4 trillion dollars
The crypto currency market has been watching in the fall trend since the beginning of 2025. Under the leadership of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), this wave of correction gained momentum after the US administration change. The arrival of the new US President Donald Trump, who is expected to carry out crypto-friendly policies, was considered by the market as the “buy and sell with the rumor” (Sell-The-News).
In the last two months, the value of the total crypto currency market decreased by about 1.4 trillion dollars and fell to 2.7 trillion dollars on Tuesday (March 11th). This shows that the effectiveness of the major investors (whales) in the market is reduced. In recent weeks, the open positions of Bitcoin futures (OI) decreased by about 20 billion dollars to 46 billion dollars. Similarly, his OI in Ethereum’s futures decreased by $ 12 billion and fell to $ 18 billion.
In this decline, uncertainties in traditional financial markets were also effective. The ongoing tariff wars between the US and other countries negatively affected stock markets, while investors have turned to safe ports such as gold.
What are the critical levels for BTC?
With Ethereum’s decline below $ 2,000, correction movements continue in the Altcoin market. At this point, all the attention has been turned into Bitcoin’s price movements. As the end of the first quarter of 2025 is approached, it is critical that the price of Bitcoin is not below $ 78,000 to maintain the rise trend.
Experts expect the market to put an end to the Monetary Tightening (QT) policy to start a upward movement of the market. In addition, the Trump administration provides a clear roadmap for the Bitcoin reserve strategy, it can contribute to the return of market sensitivity to the positive return.
