Bitcoin Soars as the US Dollar Tumbles

Bitcoin‘s Wild Ride: Up 84K While the Dollar Is Basically Screaming “Help!”

Flight from Fiat? Bitcoin Jumps While Dollar Nosedives

Well, well, well… despite President Trump boasting about his “fantastic” tariff strategy (because, of course, it’s working, right?), the U.S. dollar has taken a dive so deep that it’s practically doing cannonballs into a three-year low. But look who’s thriving while Uncle Sam’s currency is spiraling down the drain—Bitcoin, that’s who! A shiny $84K, like a glimmering beacon of “I told you so” for all the crypto believers out there.

Overview of Market Metrics

Bitcoin just took a cool 5.83% leap over the last 24 hours, hitting $83,812.18 as we speak. It had a little dip earlier—down to $78,936.32—but rallied like a true underdog to $84,138.74. Can someone please cue the “Rocky” theme music? Despite this meteoric rise, trading volume took a hit, dropping by 33%. So, surprise! It seems a lot of folks were caught snoozing when this spike happened.

Bitcoin’s market cap is now at a glorious $1.66 trillion, up by 6.05% since yesterday. Meanwhile, its dominance increased by 0.83%, clocking in at 63.73%. Altcoins are like, “Hello? Is this thing on?” And let’s not forget the futures market, which surged by 8.46%, showing that investors are clearly betting on the bull side. If this keeps up, Bitcoin might just become the “I’m the boss” currency of the world.

Coinglass, because who doesn’t love a good liquidation report, shows that $13.66 million worth of Bitcoin positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours. The bears? They got wrecked to the tune of $13.47 million. Ouch. Only $188,890 came from long liquidations. So basically, it was a bear massacre. 🐻💀

U.S. Dollar Index Slumps to Historic Lows

The U.S. Dollar Index, which is like the popularity contest of global currencies, just fell to 100.10. That’s a level we haven’t seen since 2022. Morningstar reports that European investors are running for the hills, abandoning the once “safe” greenback for greener pastures—like, you know, Bitcoin and the Swiss franc. Because who doesn’t love a good safe-haven currency that doesn’t come with tariffs and tantrums?

The real winners here are currencies like the Swiss franc, which just hit a 10-year high against the dollar. The euro is on a tear, reaching a three-year peak. And of course, let’s not forget Bitcoin, which is once again cruising comfortably above $80K. If this keeps up, we might just witness the ultimate switcheroo, with Bitcoin waltzing in to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Bye bye, greenback. Hello, BTC. 🌍💰
