Despite improving sentiment in the crypto space, markets remain highly volatile, especially during periods of low trading activity, notes Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone blockchain.
“The better mood helps a little, but traders should stay cautious. Low weekend trading can still cause sharp price swings,” Kazmierczak told Cointelegraph.
Crypto Investors May Be Past the Tariff Fears
According to Aurelie Barthere, lead researcher at Nansen, the crypto markets may have already priced in the worst of the tariff-related concerns.
“It feels like we’ve already experienced peak fear around tariffs,” Barthere said.
“While uncertainty remains, markets seem to have been waiting for a small positive trigger to start moving again.”
Barthere added that the current rally could continue if key resistance levels are broken. She also pointed to the strong support developing for stocks, the US dollar, and bonds — partly due to what many are calling a "Trump put."
Still, she cautioned that volatility could persist as US tariff negotiations continue.
Earlier, Nansen predicted a 70% chance that crypto markets would bottom out and begin recovering by June, though the outcome hinges heavily on how the tariff discussions unfold.
Some analysts, like Raoul Pal of Global Macro Investor, suggest the tariff tensions might be a negotiating tactic — aimed at securing a larger trade deal with China, potentially a major political win for Trump’s administration.
