Bitcoin surged past $93,000 on Tuesday, brushing off mounting political tensions and marking a fresh four-week high of $93,988. The move came after former President Donald Trump reignited criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, dubbing him “Mr. Too Late” and demanding immediate interest rate cuts to mitigate inflation stemming from sweeping new tariffs on over 180 countries.
Trump’s comments sent a jolt through traditional markets—Wall Street fell sharply, while Bitcoin rallied over 6% in a classic risk-off rotation.

— Mark (@sierraranchhome) April 22, 2025On Truth Social, Trump doubled down on his rhetoric, saying the Fed’s policy missteps had allowed inflation to spiral during the pandemic. His fiery remarks appeared to dent confidence in the Fed’s independence, but they reinforced Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against institutional risk and monetary uncertainty.
Crypto Market Reacts: Bitcoin Leads, Altcoins DivergeBitcoin’s safe-haven appeal is once again in the spotlight. Analysts suggest BTC’s recent breakout isn’t just a technical move—it’s part of a larger macro trend.
“When trust in institutions erodes, investors turn to alternatives like Bitcoin and gold,” said Juan Leon, Senior Analyst at Bitwise. Supporting this thesis, gold also hit a new record at $3,442 per ounce.
Swan Bitcoin’s Steven Lubka added, “Bitcoin’s strength compared to equities suggests it’s already diverging from traditional risk assets.”
Elsewhere in crypto, the market response was bullish:
- Total Crypto Market Cap: Holding steady at $2.9 trillion
- Solana (SOL): Up 6% to $147
- Dogecoin (DOGE): Up 12%
- XRP: 5%
After peaking at $93,988, Bitcoin has pulled back slightly and is now trading around $93,119. The rally, which began at $88,682, has formed a steep ascending channel on the 4-hour chart.
However, the MACD histogram is showing signs of fading momentum, suggesting a possible short-term cooldown.
Trade Setup:
- Buy on Dip: $91,269 or $88,682
- Breakout Entry: Above $93,988 with volume
- Targets: $96,973 and $99,692
- Stop Loss: Below $88,682
This is a textbook “wait-for-confirmation” moment. If BTC sustains above $91,269 and reclaims $93,988 on strong volume, it could push toward $97K and beyond.
But without confirmation, a dip to the lower trendline or support levels is likely.
