April

<p>Until April, the crypto markets will be facing the aftershocks of a deep-rooted economic storm. An explosive mix of geopolitical tensions and rigid interest rates is stifling risk appetite. But behind this chaos lie opportunities. Decoding.</p>

<p>The specter of tariffs has been looming since January. The announcement by <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/trade-war-trump-wants-to-impose-25-tariffs-on-european-exports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Donald Trump</a> on Chinese imports triggered a 17% drop in bitcoin.</p>

<p>However, this is just a prelude. Nicolai Sondergaard, an analyst at Nansen, highlights that fears related to trade barriers remain “the main driver” of the markets.</p>
<p>A persistent blockage until April 2, a key date when reciprocal tariffs could come into effect. Crypto assets, although disconnected from traditional economies, cannot withstand this systemic pressure.</p>
<p>Investors are fleeing volatile assets, seeking refuge in caution. Ironically, every rebound in bitcoin is ephemeral, stifled by anxiety-inducing macroeconomic news.</p>
<p>“Resolving trade tensions could be a major catalyst,” nuances Sondergaard. But the horizon remains clouded.</p>
<p>China, the United States, and the EU are playing a game of chess where each tariff move shakes the markets.</p>
<p>Cryptos, seen as a safe haven during previous crises, are temporarily losing this status. Capital is freezing, waiting for a sign of easing. Between sanctions and countermeasures, the political calendar now dictates the pace of prices.</p>
<h2 id="h-taux-d-interet-l-etau-de-la-fed-se-resserre">Interest rates: the Fed’s vise is tightening</h2>
<p>In parallel, American monetary policy adds a layer of complexity. The Fed’s high interest rates are suffocating risk appetite. “The Federal Reserve is waiting for real bad news to lower its rates,” explains Sondergaard. A paradox: investors hope for economic slowdown to see signs of easing.</p>
<p>The probabilities of a status quo during the May FOMC meeting are nearing 85%. A clear signal: the priority is still fighting inflation, despite recession risks.</p>

<p>For <a href="https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/1903084741886083073" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Iliya Kalchev</a>, an analyst at Nexo, this rigidity is only temporary. “Stabilized economic data could reignite enthusiasm for bitcoin,” he estimates. But the timeline is tight.</p>
<p>The upcoming releases — GDP, unemployment claims, PCE index — will be scrutinized like oracles.</p>
<p>A decline in inflation would pave the way for more lenient rates, bringing some color back to cryptos. In the meantime, the market digests a reality: money is expensive, and speculative investments are paying cash for this reality.</p>
<p>April promises to be a pivotal month. Between the possible activation of tariffs and hopes for a Fed pivot, cryptos are navigating between challenges and opportunities. Seasoned investors know that these storms forge markets.
