After a period of uncertainty and major price volatility for the stock and crypto markets amid Trump's tariff turmoil, investors are seemingly more calm.
As of April 19, 2025, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a period of low volatility and limited price movements. Major assets are trading within narrow ranges, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid macroeconomic uncertainties.
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $85,311, showing minimal change over the past 24 hours. Ethereum (ETH) stands at approximately $1,598, also exhibiting slight fluctuations. Other leading cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL), XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE) are similarly stable, with negligible price changes.
The subdued market activity is attributed to thin order books and reduced trading volumes, typical of holiday periods. Analysts note that recent price movements are primarily driven by perpetual futures rather than spot trading.
In the past 24 hours only $121.79 million were liquidated from the crypto market – $55.21 million in shorts and $66.59 million in long positions.The majority of liquidations came from Ethereum ($15.38 million) and Solana ($14.99 million). Bitcoin accounted for $12.63 million of the total liquidations.
Bitcoin is currently consolidating between $84,000 and $88,000, with key support at $80,000. The 50-day moving average is at $86,000, while the 200-day moving average stands at $82,000, indicating a neutral trend.
Ethereum is trading around $1,598, with analysts watching for a potential breakout above $1,700 to signal renewed bullish momentum.
XRP is hovering near $2.08, with technical indicators suggesting a possible dip to $1.60 if bearish patterns persist.
Prominent analysts offer varying forecasts for Bitcoin’s trajectory:
Titan of Crypto anticipates a bullish breakout to $137,000 by July–August 2025, citing a bullish pennant pattern and increased liquidity from U.S. Treasury actions.

The current crypto market is characterized by low volatility and limited price movements. While technical indicators remain neutral, the recent market crash after Trump announced the tariffs underscore the importance of cautious trading strategies.
