Bitcoin has continued to outshine major global assets—including stocks, equities, treasuries, and precious metals—despite a recent downturn in the crypto market, which coincided with the United States’ two-month debt suspension period.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) currently sits 23% below its record high of over $109,000, which was reached on Jan. 20, the day of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, according to data.
Despite this correction, Bitcoin remains ahead of all major market sectors globally. Data from Bloomberg, shared by Apollo Sats co-founder Thomas Fahrer, highlights Bitcoin’s superior performance compared to stocks, equities, U.S. treasuries, real estate, and precious metals.
“Even with the recent dip, Bitcoin is still leading all other assets post-election,” Fahrer noted in a March 18 post on X (formerly Twitter).
While some investors fear an early arrival of the bear market, Aurelie Barthere, a principal research analyst at Nansen, believes Bitcoin’s pullback to $76,000 is part of a natural “correction within a bull market.”
“We remain in a bullish cycle, with a correction unfolding. Both stocks and crypto are factoring in uncertainties related to tariffs and fiscal policies, alongside growing recession fears,” Barthere explained.
Bitcoin ETFs See Largest Inflows Since February
The U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have started registering strong daily inflows again, which could signal further bullish momentum for the leading cryptocurrency.
On March 17, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow exceeding $274 million—the highest daily total since Feb. 4, when Bitcoin was trading above $98,652, according to Sosovalue data.
ETFs have been a driving force behind Bitcoin’s 2024 surge, contributing roughly 75% of new investments as the cryptocurrency reclaimed the $50,000 level on Feb. 15.
Although Bitcoin remains susceptible to short-term volatility due to global trade tensions, significant price declines below current levels are unlikely, according to Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.
“I don’t expect BTC to drop below $70K. A range of $73K–$78K presents a strong buying opportunity for hesitant investors. Over the next one to two years, a $200K Bitcoin is more realistic than many anticipate,” Chen commented.
Several industry leaders share a similar bullish outlook for Bitcoin throughout 2025, with forecasts ranging between $160,000 and $180,000 or higher.
