Bitcoin defeats post-Trump global assets despite BTC corrections

Bitcoin outperformed other major global assets, including the stock market, equities, the Treasury and precious metals, despite the recent crypto market corrections coinciding with a two-month debt suspension period in the US.

Bitcoin (BTC) prices are currently down 23% from the all-time high of over $109,000 recorded on January 20th on President Donald Trump's inauguration day, Cointelegraph Markets Pro Data shows.

Despite the recent decline, Bitcoin still outperformed all major global market segments, including stock markets, stocks, the US Treasury, real estate and precious metals, according to Bloomberg data shared by Apollosatsu co-founder Thomas Farrer.

“Even if it's pulled back, Bitcoin is outweighing all other assets since the election,” wrote Farrar in the X-Post on March 18th.

Bitcoin's retracement to $76,000 remains part of the organic “correction,” according to Aurelie Barthere, a leading research analyst at Nansen Crypto Intelligence Platform.

“We are still being revised within the bull market, with stocks and cryptos realising and priced during periods of tariff uncertainty and fiscal cuts.

Bitcoin could see more shortcoming volatility due to concerns about the global trade war, but it's unlikely to drop significantly below current levels, according to Gracy Chen, Bitget CEO.

Chen told the Cointelegraph:

“We don't see BTC falling below 70K. Perhaps $73K-$78K is a solid time to join fence buyers. Over the next year or two, BTC isn't as far away as most people think.”

Other industry leaders are also optimistic about the price trajectory for the remainder of Bitcoin for 2025, with price forecasts ranging from $160,000 to over $180,000.
