Bitcoin Surges Past $93,000 Amid Positive Market Sentiment and Trump’s Remarks

Bitcoin prices have surged past $93,000 for the first time in seven weeks, propelled by positive macroeconomic conditions and inflows into spot ETFs. The price jumped significantly within a brief period, attracting attention from traders. US President Trump’s softened stance on trade policy has contributed to favourable market sentiment, alongside improvements in traditional financial markets.

Bitcoin has recently surpassed the $93,000 mark for the first time in seven weeks, marking a significant extension of its post-Easter rally. Over a 24-hour period, Bitcoin (BTC) surged by 5.62% as of April 22, achieving a 12% price increase over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.

The cryptocurrency’s price experienced a rapid increase, leaping from approximately $91,500 to $93,000 within minutes. This volatility surprised traders, with Bitcoin commentator Michael Sullivan noting the astounding nature of the price movement in an April 22 post on X. Another trader, known as Crypto General, endorsed the market’s trajectory as expected, alluding to the breakout previously addressed.

In anticipation of Bitcoin’s upswing, commentator “Ted” hinted to his followers that Bitcoin was on the verge of reaching the $100,000 price level, which has not been observed since February 3. The price momentum aligns with improving market sentiment and increased inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), coupled with US President Donald Trump’s recent reassurances regarding trade policy.

On the same day, Trump asserted he had “no intention of firing” Jerome Powell, Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, after making critical comments on interest rate policies. This remark contrasts with his earlier statements, indicating a potential shift towards stability in financial markets.

Additionally, Trump indicated that tariffs on Chinese goods would be reduced significantly, further encouraging bullish sentiments among cryptocurrency analysts. Economist Alex Kruger observed that Trump’s comments contributed positively to market sentiment. The spot Bitcoin ETFs reported a collective net inflow of $381.3 million just before this upsurge.

Concurrently, traditional financial markets reflected this optimism, with the S&P 500 rising by 2.51%, the Nasdaq by 2.87%, and the Dow Jones by 2.66% at the close of trading on April 22, as indicated by Google Finance data.
