Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below the $80,000 mark ahead of the April 6 weekly close, down 3% amid fears of a market crash reminiscent of 1987’s Black Monday. U.S. stocks plunged nearly 6% on April 4, wiping out over $8.2 trillion in market value after President Trump’s sweeping trade tariff announcement. Analysts compared the plunge to the 2008 crisis and 1987 crash. Despite the turbulence, Bitcoin showed relative strength, trading around $79,700, signaling its growing independence from traditional markets as traders remain cautiously optimistic.
