Bitcoin Outperforms Global Assets Despite Market Correction
Despite experiencing a market correction coinciding with the two-month debt suspension period in the U.S., Bitcoin managed to outperform major global assets such as stocks, bonds, and precious metals.
Currently, Bitcoin is down 23% from its all-time high above $109,000 recorded on January 20th, the day of U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Despite this recent decline, Bitcoin has still outperformed all major global market segments, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and precious metals, according to data shared by Thomas Fahrer, co-founder of Apollo Sats, and Bloomberg.
Fahrer stated in a March 18th post on X, “Despite the pullbacks, Bitcoin is outperforming every other asset post-election.”
Concerns about an early bear market have surfaced, but Bitcoin’s decline to $76,000 is still considered by Aurelie Barthere, Head Research Analyst at Nansen Crypto Intelligence platform, as “an organic correction in a bull market.”
The analyst commented, “We are still in a bull market correction: stocks and crypto are priced with tariff uncertainties and the period of fiscal cuts, with no Fed support. Recession fears are emerging.”
Bitcoin ETFs Show Positive Inflows for More Upside Momentum
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are seeing positive daily net inflows, which could trigger more upward momentum for the world’s first cryptocurrency.
On March 17, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total of over $274 million in net inflows, marking the highest day of investment since February 4, when Bitcoin was trading above $98,652, according to Sosovalue data.
ETF investments played a major role in Bitcoin’s 2024 rally, with new investment contributing approximately 75% of Bitcoin’s recovery to the $50,000 level on February 15.
While Bitcoin may experience further downside volatility due to concerns about a global trade war, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen believes there is little expectation for a significant drop below current levels.
Chen stated, “I don’t think BTC will fall below $70,000; perhaps to $73,000 – $78,000, which could be a good entry point for any buyer. In the next 1-2 years, reaching $200,000 for BTC is not as far-fetched as many may think.”
Other industry leaders are also optimistic about Bitcoin’s price trend for the remainder of 2025, with price predictions ranging from $160,000 to over $180,000.
