Bitcoin experienced wild market fluctuations this week after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on 185 countries early this month. BTC fell to a low of $74,000 shedding nearly $13,000 in value as it entered April trading at $87,000 level. The leading cryptocurrency is hovering around the $$77,300 mark on Wednesday and is down more than 2% in the charts.

The brief rebound in price is attributed to a steady accumulation of Bitcoin from leading institutional investors, said Tracy Jin, Chief Operating Officer of the cryptocurrency exchange MEXC to Watcher Guru. Jin revealed that institutional investors are quietly buying the dips on BTC accumulating the asset at every market correction.

The strategic buying is the reason its price remained afloat as the Dow Jones plunged nearly 2,000 points on Monday. Bitcoin is cementing its resistance level as the influx of funds from institutional investors enters the market at dips. “Institutional investors are quietly buying Bitcoin during sharp market corrections. A signal that the asset is becoming an increasingly important part of a balanced portfolio,” said Jin.

She added, “Despite warnings of a potential 20% drop, leading institutional voices have remained optimistic. Concerns over a possible recession and persistent inflation are reinforcing long-term interest in Bitcoin. Forecasts for 2025 still point toward six-figure price targets,” she said. The COO explained that global institutional funds are diversifying their assets to remain afloat in times of uncertainty.

Trump’s tariffs are echoing concerns of a recession and a market crash that could wipe away trillions leading to massive job cuts. “While retail traders rushed to the exits, major institutional players struck a different tone. BlackRock, for instance, acknowledged the possibility of a 20% correction but framed it as a buying opportunity, not a reason to offload a valuable asset. This perspective aligns with a broader institutional belief that the current macro stress is part of a cycle, not a crisis,” she summed it up.
