Market uncertainty continues to grip Bitcoin and altcoins, with several factors contributing to the current stagnation.
Among them are concerns over inflation and shifts in trade policies under Donald Trump’s administration.
Singapore-based crypto firm QCP Capital highlighted these issues, emphasizing that rising tariffs and inflation fears remain major challenges for investors.
While the market has largely accounted for these risks, analysts note that slow price movements are adding pressure on traders.
Another significant factor affecting the market is the upcoming release of 30 million Solana (SOL) tokens on March 1. Analysts suggest that this event is not only impacting SOL but is also creating downward pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Despite these headwinds, Bitcoin has managed to hold firm at $95,000 after briefly dipping to $93,000. However, the absence of strong bullish catalysts is preventing further upward momentum.
Analysts believe that while BTC and altcoins are poised for growth, they lack the immediate triggers necessary to break higher.
As Bitcoin pushed past $111,000 on May 22, breaking its previous all-time high, activity in the futures market erupted in response.
Fifteen years ago, a programmer unknowingly made history when he traded 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas—marking the first documented purchase using cryptocurrency.
Strategy, the rebranded identity of MicroStrategy, is preparing to raise up to $2.1 billion through the sale of preferred stock as part of its ongoing effort to grow its Bitcoin portfolio.
Bitcoin’s return to six-figure territory has reignited market optimism, but unlike the short-lived surge seen in January, the current rally appears to be built on firmer ground.
