BTC USD Fell to $72K Before The Snapping Back, ETH 25% Down in A Week"},"content":{"rendered":"

Reading most crypto news headlines is depressing today. BTC USD briefly tagged a 15-month low under $73,000 before snapping back above $76,000, while ETH USD continued its rough week, sliding 25% and maybe closing to $2,000. This sets the depression in crypto news today as BTC USD moves like memes with thin liquidity.<\/p>\n

Looking at the cleanest perspective, BTC and ETH are tracking weakness from Nasdaq as the total crypto market shed close to 15% the last 7 days. But is it all doom?<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to lose 7% a year to inflation.<\/p>\n

So I chose crypto and now lose 7% every week.<\/p>\n

President Trump has signed legislation to formally end the partial government shutdown, and this removed one layer of uncertainty, at least on paper, for now. We know crypto has been absorbing macro pressures. Remember, after Trump\u2019s inauguration, Bitcoin initially climbed 15%, only to see risk assets tumble when tariffs triggered a sharp S&P 500 correction in early 2025. It\u2019 macro, not Bitcoin itself.<\/p>\n

However, Wall Street participation has changed the texture of this cycle too, making BTC USD less fragile than past drawdowns.<\/p>\n
