While Bitcoin remains stable around $85,000, Dogecoin (DOGE) slipped by 3% in the past 24 hours. Crypto investors are treading cautiously — as tariff fears ease, a new threat emerges: a potential U.S. recession.

⚠️ Recession Signals Start to Spook Traders

According to leading financial indicators, the U.S. could face a recession as early as 2025. Betting markets are placing the odds between 40% and 60%.

Augustine Fan from SignalPlus commented:

“Sometimes, what matters more is market sentiment than reality itself.”

Meanwhile, crypto has surprisingly held its ground. With stock markets showing greater volatility, investors are once again turning to Bitcoin as a store of value. Even gold hit new all-time highs, reinforcing the flight to safe havens.

Market Sees Modest Decline, Led by Dogecoin

Major cryptocurrencies experienced a slight dip, with Dogecoin leading the losses. Solana (SOL), Tron (TRX), and Cardano (ADA) fell by up to 2.5%, while BNB and XRP remained mostly unchanged. Bitcoin continues to hold steady near the $85,000 mark.

📈 Recovery After Chaos: OM +20%, VTHO +37%

🌟 Mantra’s OM token surged 20% after a chaotic Sunday drop that wiped out 90% of its value in one hour. The project’s CEO says a recovery plan is in motion, though market watchers remain skeptical.

📈 Meanwhile, VeThor Token (VTHO) soared 37% after UFC President Dana White joined as a strategic advisor — fueling adoption hopes for this RWA-focused token.

🎭 Story Protocol (IP) initially crashed 20%, but staged a dramatic comeback — rebounding more than 30% within hours. Traders were relieved it didn’t turn into another OM-style collapse.

📊 Traders Stay Cautious — But Big Bets on $100K BTC Are Rising

QCP Capital noted that put options still dominate until June, signaling cautious sentiment. However, a major buy of 800x BTC $100K calls expiring in March 2026 suggests that some are betting big on a longer-term surge.

This specific option trade has become the most popular medium-term bet, with nearly $1.2 billion in open interest.

💬 Sentiment Improves, But Traders Remain Wary

Jupiter Zheng of HashKey Capital says markets found strength after the Federal Reserve signaled it’s ready to step in if tariff-related shocks hit the economy.

He concluded:

“As the U.S. engages in trade talks with other nations, we remain hopeful the worst of the turbulence is behind us.”
