What stirred up the Market?
A few big moments shook things up recently:
On March 2, Sunday, Donald Trump announced a crypto reserve with Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and XRP. Prices soared almost immediately after the news.
On March 6, Trump signed an executive order, but instead of keeping the upward trend, the market started sliding. People still held hope for a crypto summit coming up.
On March 7, The crypto summit was held, but rather than lifting spirits, some unexpected twists sent the market lower. Since then, a steep crash has taken hold, dragging prices down and souring the outlook.
Bitcoin may have stumbled over the last 90 days, but a few altcoins pulled off impressive gains. Still, with the market turning downward lately and fear taking over, it’s clear investors are nervous about rules and bigger economic pressures.
As things keep shifting, everyone’s watching to see what Bitcoin does next and whether altcoins can hold steady or get caught in a wider slump. More updates will come as this plays out.
