The wider crypto market has been trapped in a correction mode since the beginning of 2025, led by Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The U.S. administration’s change to a pro-crypto leadership, led by President Donald Trump, turned out to be a classic sell-the-news event.
The total crypto market cap has shed nearly $1.4 trillion in the past two months to hover about $2.7 trillion on Tuesday, March 11, during the mid-London session.
Crypto Market In Limbo
The crypto market has experienced heightened midterm uncertainty amid low demand from whale investors. During the past few weeks, Bitcoin’s futures open interest (OI) dropped by nearly $20 billion to hover about $46 billion at the time of this writing. On the other hand, Ethereum’s OI has declined by over $12 billion to hover around $18 billion.
As the stock market, led by major indexes, continues to bleed amid the ongoing tariff wars, the crypto market will follow in tandem. Moreover, more investors have been pivoting toward the gold market to hedge against short-term market uncertainty.
With most of the altcoins trapped in a correction mode, especially after Ether’s price dipped below $2k, all focus is on Bitcoin price action in the coming days. As the first quarter of 2025 approaches the end, Bitcoin price cannot afford to consistently close below $78k if the rising trend persists in the coming quarters.
As Coinpedia reported, the crypto market will rebound towards a parabolic rally after major central banks end their quantitative tightening (QT) measures. Ultimately, the cryptocurrency market will experience a bullish outlook once the Trump administration issues a clear roadmap on how to implement the strategic BTC reserve.
