๐Ÿšจ Bitcoin’s April Shower: 70% Chance of Market Meltdown? ๐Ÿคฏ

Oh joy, oh rapture! Just when you thought it was safe to dip your toes back into the crypto pool, along comes April with its tariff tantrums, threatening to send Bitcoin (BTC) and friends into another tizzy ๐Ÿคช. According to the lovely folks at Nansen, there’s a whopping 70% chance of another price dip after April 2. Because, you know, the market wasn’t already a thrilling rollercoaster ride ๐ŸŽ .

As we stumble into April, the crypto market is all like, “Will we, won’t we?” (face-palm) have another correction. And honestly, who knows? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ But Nansen’s analysts are all, “Hey, there’s a good chance (70%, to be exact) we’ll see another leg down in crypto prices after April 2.” Just what you wanted to hear, right? ๐Ÿ˜’

Now, let’s talk Trump (because, why not? ๐Ÿ™„). He’s all set to unleash new tariffs on April 2, which, spoiler alert, might just spook the markets all over again. But hey, at least it’s not boring, right? ๐ŸŽ‰

In a chat with crypto.news, Aurelie Barthere, Nansen’s principal research analyst, shared her two cents. In short: brief correction, then stabilization, and eventually (fingers crossed) growth ๐ŸŒฑ.

โ€œIn my main scenario, 70% subjective likelihood, I expect another leg down in crypto prices after April 2… After this second correction, I expect we will be bottoming for the rest of the year…โ€

Aurelie Barthere (a.k.a. The Crypto Oracle ๐Ÿ™)

But wait, there’s more! Barthere also mentions that after the (potential) dip, Bitcoin might just rebound, thanks to a supportive macro environment and all that jazz ๐ŸŽต. So, it’s not all doom and gloom… yet โ›ˆ๏ธ.

โ€œFor the remaining 30%: it would be if we have already bottomed or if this is just a dead cat bounce…โ€

Aurelie Barthere (still The Crypto Oracle, just to clarify ๐Ÿ™ƒ)

Uncertainty: The Gift That Keeps on Giving ๐ŸŽ

The tariff saga has been a wild ride, with the U.S. policy uncertainty index hitting new highs ๐Ÿ“ˆ. But hey, at least some trading partners are negotiating to lower their trade barriers, so that’s a thing ๐Ÿ™Œ.

โ€œRight now, I think that we are experiencing corrections within a crypto bull market… Why I see this as a bull market still: 1) Ongoing progress on crypto regulation… and 2) U.S. real growth has slowed but is not flashing โ€˜recession.โ€™โ€

Aurelie Barthere (yep, still her ๐Ÿ™ƒ)

So, to sum it up: uncertainty might last a bit longer (until Q2, perhaps?), but there’s a 50/50 chance we’ve already peaked on the trade policy uncertainty front ๐Ÿค”. And, you know, no evidence of a recession… yet ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ.

No Recession in Sight (Phew!) ๐Ÿ™Œ

The latest U.S. March flash PMI report shows a 53.5 score, which is, you know, not bad ๐Ÿ™ƒ. Growth is slowing down, but no recession bells are ringing just yet ๐Ÿ””.

Barthere reassures us that, for now, there’s no hard evidence of a recession. So, let’s all take a deep breath and remember: corrections happen, but the overall bull market is still (probably) intact ๐Ÿƒ.

Stay calm, crypto fans! ๐Ÿ™ (Or, you know, panic and sell all your Bitcoins. We won’t judge ๐Ÿคซ).
