Another brutal week in the markets... $BTC stooped to 77K, $ETH plummeted to 1.8K—time to scoop the dip or dodge the knife? March 31 to April 6, 2025, was a wild ride—policy flexes, tariff tantrums, and a market that’s bleeding but breathing. Here’s the rundown.

Market Meltdown: Red Everywhere

This week was a slaughter. Bitcoin tanked to $77,000 on April 3—down 8% from last Sunday’s perch—before clawing back to $78,200 by April 6. Ethereum got wrecked, nosediving to $1,800 on April 5—a 15% gut punch, and even into the $1,500’s on the night of 4/6.. Altcoins? Carnage—SOL shed 12%, XRP bled 10%, and ADA’s down 14%. Total market cap’s at $2.6T, with Fear and Greed pinned at 24—pure panic. X chatter’s screaming “oversold,” with @CryptoWulfX (April 4) calling it “discount season.” Bulls are licking wounds; bears are feasting.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: The Quiet Giant

Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) kept stacking—rumors on X (@ChainSnipe, April 2) peg it at 105,000 BTC ($8.2B) after a sneaky buy. No official word, but Dune Analytics shows government wallets fattening up. The March summit hype’s gone cold, and Trump’s “never sell” flex isn’t moving the needle—yet.@WOLF_Financial (April 5) says it’s a “slow fuse”—could blow if they ramp up. For now, it’s a whale in waiting.

Texas Stacks Sats: $250M on Deck

Texas’ $250M crypto reserve bill crept closer to reality. A committee greenlit it on April 3 (X,@TexBitcoiner), and it’s headed for a floor vote next week. If it passes, they’re snagging BTC, ETH, and maybe SOL—state treasuries are turning into HODLers. X’s @LoneStarHodl (April 4) predicts a “domino effect”—9th state in, more to follow. Markets barely blinked, but the long game’s juicy.

Tariff Terrors: Macro Mess Hits Crypto

Trump’s tariff threats went live—20% on China, 10% global, effective April 10 (Bloomberg, April 2). Stocks puked $5T, and crypto’s catching the flu. BTC and ETH tracked the Nasdaq’s 10% dive (April 4), with X’s

@MarketMaverick (April 5) blaming “risk-off fever.” Fed’s holding rates at 4.5%—no cuts, no mercy. BlackRock’s Fink warned of “stagflation 2.0” (CNBC, April 3), and crypto’s stuck in the crossfire.

Price Pulse: The Gory Details

• BTC: $77,000 low (April 3), limping to $78,200 (April 6). Volume’s thin—traders are ghosting.

• ETH: $1,800 bottom (April 5), back to $1,850 by April 6. Staking ETF whispers keep it alive (X, @EtherHawk, April 4).

• Altcoins: SOL ($120, -12%), XRP ($2.10, -10%), ADA ($0.45, -14%). Meme coins like DOGE (+5%) laughed at the chaos.

NFTs held tough—$135M in sales, up 8% (X, April 6). Pudgy Penguins led the charge, but the spotlight’s dim.

Did We Nail It?

Last week, we said $BTC could test $80K support—it smashed through to $77K. ETH’s $2K crumble? Called it, and it hit $1,800. Our “oversold bounce” hunch is playing out—$BTC’s up 1.5% today, ETH’s stirring. X polls (@WOLF_Financial, April 6) are 55% bearish, but we’re sniffing a reversal. $ETHA (▲ 2%) a sleeper hit, or is $ETH.X (▼ 15%) cooked? You tell us—drop your take!

What’s Cooking?

$BTC’s got $80K in its sights—break it, and $85K’s next. Texas could spark a state-stack frenzy, and the SBR’s a wildcard. Tariff fallout’s the big X-factor—risk-off could drag us lower, but oversold vibes scream “rebound.” Track @WatcherGuru,@WOLF_Financial, and Dune Analytics—this rollercoaster’s just warming up.

Seems to be the only good news was that $ONIC.X ( ▼ 0.19% ) was up 7% on the week AND they managed to hit their 6th green month (and Revenue Share payout in $ETH.X ( ▲ 5.57% ) (which is now worth significantly less—but 1 ETH is 1 ETH, right?)). Other than that, enjoy the discounts on assets you plan on accumulating more for the long-term, and lowering your average entry points, keep your wits about ya, and stick to the plan!
