Bitcoin's price has slipped below $82,000, reflecting investor anxiety linked to new tariffs introduced by US President Donald Trump, including a significant 25% tariff on car imports. This uncertainty, exacerbated by anticipated tariffs on pharmaceuticals, has shaken investor confidence. As stock futures declined—with the DOW down 206 points and the S&P 500 showing a 6.3% monthly loss—Bitcoin's price fell to $81,656 on March 30, marking a seventh consecutive day of lower lows. The drop in Bitcoin's value is attributed to weak demand in spot markets and traders' willingness to de-risk ahead of the tariffs. Recent economic data also contributed to the bearish sentiment, with a report indicating rising recession odds and low consumer confidence. Despite the downturn, there are signs of institutional buying, with net inflows to Bitcoin accumulation addresses increasing. Analysts have adjusted their expectations, forecasting potential lows in the mid $70,000 range for Bitcoin.
