As the financial world braces for the upcoming U.S. presidential inauguration, the cryptocurrency market exhibits a robust rebound, shaking off recent losses. Bitcoin soared to an impressive $97,300 on Tuesday, closely watched by traders who also keep an eye on forthcoming U.S. inflation data.
This surge comes after a volatile session where the largest cryptocurrency momentarily dipped below the $90,000 mark, spurred by speculations of favorable crypto regulations from the incoming administration.
Rapid Recovery in Crypto Sphere
Monday’s market wipeout seemed a distant memory as cryptocurrencies made a strong recovery. The rebound was notably influenced by anticipations of Donald Trump’s first-day executive orders that are expected to benefit the crypto industry.
After lower-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) figures for December came out, Bitcoin managed to stabilize and rose about 3% to $96,500 within a day. The broader cryptocurrency market also saw gains, with the CoinDesk 20 index climbing 5%. Among altcoins, Ripple’s XRP and Dogecoin led the way, each posting increases of 6% to 7%.
Anticipation for Further Data and Political Moves
Traditional markets like the Nasdaq and S&P 500 had mixed results, barely moving at all. This shows how cryptocurrencies are becoming more independent from regular stock markets, especially when big political or economic events are happening. Next, everyone’s looking to see what happens with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data coming out on Wednesday.
Additionally, Trump’s inauguration on January 20th could impact the market, especially if he introduces crypto-friendly policies. K33 Research, having previously suggested that Trump’s inauguration might present a sell-the-news opportunity, revised its stance following the early-year sell-off in stocks and cryptocurrencies.

“While our initial monthly outlook favored selling during the inauguration, the recent market activity suggests that maintaining a position in Bitcoin might be more prudent unless a significant momentum shift occurs in the coming days,” the firm stated in their latest report.
Strategic Adjustments and Market Outlook
The firm also noted the resilience of the S&P 500 and BTC’s recovery from two-month lows, indicating a potentially less appealing sell-the-news strategy unless next week’s market movements drastically alter the scenario.
“Although we initially favored selling during the inauguration, we now see selling Bitcoin at the inauguration as less attractive unless the next six days show significant momentum,” it noted
“De-risking strategies should be short-lived and highly dependent on upcoming market performance, as we maintain a long-term bullish outlook for Trump’s impact on Bitcoin,” the report added.
Conclusion:
As BTC approaches the $100,000 milestone, the interplay between forthcoming economic data and political developments will be crucial in shaping both short-term movements and long-term market trajectories. Investors are advised to stay vigilant, keeping an eye on immediate price actions and broader geopolitical shifts.
