Crypto Price News For March 25: Market Momentum Slows Down

The crypto market experienced a mixed response today, with some coins making notable gains while others saw minor declines. The market showed signs of slowing down compared to yesterday’s rally, as Bitcoin and Ethereum both recorded slight drops.

According to CoinMarketCap, the global cryptocurrency market cap has decreased by 0.25%, now sitting at $2.84 trillion. Market volume, however, surged by 25.41%, reaching $81.82 billion. The CMC 100 Index also saw a slight decrease of 0.28% in the last 24 hours, indicating that the positive momentum from yesterday’s rally has faded somewhat.

Driving Market Forces

Bitcoin (BTC) is slightly down by 0.77%, trading around the $86K mark, after briefly breaking the $87K threshold yesterday. Ethereum (ETH) also faced a minor dip of 0.89%, continuing its sideways movement. The market’s overall slowdown can likely be attributed to investor caution following Bitcoin's inability to sustain the $87K mark, which sparked a broader risk-off sentiment across altcoins.

Yesterday's optimism, fueled by reports of potential tariff breaks from President Donald Trump, gave way to more uncertainty. The good news surrounding Trump's softer approach to tariffs was initially well-received, but after the brief price rise, the market struggled to maintain those gains.

Investors are now awaiting further economic data, including today’s consumer confidence report, which could provide more direction for the market. With the US GDP figure due on Thursday and the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure, the PCE, on Friday, market sentiment could shift depending on the outcomes of these reports.
