Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin Mints Profits to Trade at $87,300, Altcoins Show Mixed Movements 

Bitcoin reflected profits on both national and international exchanges on Monday after a period of decline following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of widespread tariffs on US imports. On international platforms, Bitcoin rose in price by 2.61 percent to trade at $87,373 (roughly Rs. 74.5 lakh). On Indian exchanges, its price hovered over the mark of $87,845 (roughly Rs. 75 lakh) with a gain of over two percent. The past two weeks proved rough for Bitcoin as the Trump administration announced sweeping reciprocal trade tariffs against many nations, particularly China. “Bitcoin is gaining strong upward momentum, trading at $87,300 (roughly Rs. 74 lakh) as investor confidence picks up once again. Additionally, macroeconomic factors like the dollar index falling to a three-year low and increasing recession fears are prompting investors to turn to Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset,” Alankar Saxena, Co-founder and CTO of Mudrex, told Gadgets 360. “A close above the monthly high of $88,700 (roughly Rs. 75.7 lakh) could trigger a decisive move towards $92,000 (roughly Rs. 78.5 lakh) with strong support at $84,000 …

Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin Climbs Back Above $80,000; Altcoins Remain Stable as Market Volatility Persists

Bitcoin reflected a small loss of 1.30 percent on international exchanges owing to market volatility. On Friday, April 11, Bitcoin reclaimed the $80,000 (roughly Rs. 68.7 lakh) mark after dropping to $76,000 (roughly Rs. 65.3 lakh) earlier this week. According to market analysts, Trump’s tariff reprieve and receding inflation are short-term sources of relief, but underlying investor sentiment remains cautious. On Indian exchanges, Bitcoin price fell by nearly two percent bringing its value to $83,512 (roughly Rs 71.8 lakh). “Lower inflation typically boosts investor sentiment due to potential Fed rate cuts. Markets saw a brief period of profit booking. However, CryptoQuant data shows that Bitcoin whales remain active with wallets holding 1,000 to 10,000 Bitcoin, rising faster than the 30-day average, indicating strong investor confidence. Currently, Bitcoin’s resistance stands at $83,700 (roughly Rs. 71.9 lakh), while the support remains at $75,000 (roughly Rs. 64.4 lakh),” Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO of Mudrex told Gadgets 360.

The overall crypto market momentum has slowed down over the last few days owing to the heated trade tensions between the US and other nations. “The US increased the tariff rates to 104 percent on China, which fueled the uncertainty among the market participants, as expected. Bitcoin price slumped hard and is about to drop below $75,000 (roughly Rs. 64.9 lakh) for the second time this week, raising alarms over the entire crypto market. Market sentiments become extremely fearful, hinting towards a potential bear market,” the CoinDCX research team told Gadgets 360.
