QCP analysts’ interpretations of macroeconomic developments are taken seriously in the market. Today, we highlight the latest market forecasts from QCP Capital experts. Bitcoin $99,552 trades above $99,000, while altcoins have yet to recover from their losses. The tiring altcoin markets continue without much improvement.
Risk markets faced setbacks due to Trump’s additional tariffs and the DeepSeek earthquake. These events caused certain cryptocurrencies to exhibit movements reminiscent of the rapid crash in 2020. Many cryptocurrencies fell below their annual lows. QCP Capital analysts state:
“After the news of a one-month delay on tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Mexico and Canada, Bitcoin briefly regained $100,000, indicating potential trade mediation, but the relief was short-lived as China retaliated with new tariffs, sending BTC back to $98,000.”
A key detail here is the possibility of discussions between China and Trump within 24 hours. We may see news similar to that of Canada and Mexico soon.
“China has signaled its readiness to escalate tensions by launching an antitrust investigation into Google, targeting major U.S. tech firms. Any potential sanctions or restrictions could pressurize gains and pose significant risks for risky assets.”
While QCP analysts highlight these risks, both parties are struggling to strengthen their positions and come out ahead in negotiations. Similar to Trump’s tactics, China is also laying its cards on the table.
Expectations for Cryptocurrencies
Before the U.S. markets close, David, the AI and Crypto Chief, will hold a press conference regarding cryptocurrencies. Positive news from here before the day ends could be encouraging. QCP Capital analysts respond to the question, “What’s next?” as follows:
“What’s next for crypto? The outlook remains shadowed by trade uncertainty, and the options market is currently balanced between buys and sells up to March. However, volatility may resurface with the White House press conference by crypto chief David Sacks summarizing the new administration’s crypto strategy, coupled with Trump’s phone call with President Xi today.”
