Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a volatile April 2025, consolidating after reaching $100,000 in December 2024. According to data from Binance, BTC began the month around $97,570, but faced a significant correction, dropping below $75,000 in early April, according to posts on X. This drop, which reduced the crypto market by over $500 billion from its peak, was influenced by macroeconomic tensions, such as the U.S. trade war with China and uncertainty over President Trump's policies, who paused tariffs for several countries but maintained restrictions on China. Despite this correction, BTC showed resilience, stabilizing above $84,000 towards the end of April, according to FXStreet. BTC's behavior in April reflects a typical post-halving pattern, following the reward reduction on April 20, 2024. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, with over $108 billion in assets under management, continues to attract institutional investment, according to Forbes. However, BTC's dominance, which reached a peak of 61.5% according to analyst Miles Deutscher, could stabilize, allowing altcoins to rotate gains in the second half of 2025. Technical indicators, such as the RSI in the neutral zone (30-70) and the 200-day moving average rising since January, suggest a long-term bullish trend, although with possible short-term pullbacks. Bullish factors for May include the potential implementation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S. and the easing of monetary policies by the FED, such as interest rate cuts. However, investors should remain vigilant about global economic policies and volatility induced by geopolitical events. Are we facing a healthy correction or the beginning of a bearish phase? The Binance community is divided, but history suggests that BTC tends to recover after these consolidations. Share your opinion: HODL or take profits?\n$BTC \n
