Crypto Rally Sees BTC, XRP, SOL, and LINK Experience Mixed Momentum
18.03.2025 11:27
A brief market relief rally lifted key cryptocurrencies after a deep selloff driven by economic worries, tariffs, and recession fears. Bitcoin rebounded by over 6%, while altcoins XRP, Solana, and Chainlink registered notable gains of 8%, 9%, and over 13% respectively. Although the rebound was short-lived and tempered by continued macroeconomic uncertainty and disappointing retail data, market participants found some solace in ETF inflows and oversold positions. Additionally, upcoming events such as the planned liquidation of Bitcoin futures ETFs add a further layer of deferred impact. The overall scenario suggests that despite short-term bullish indicators, broader economic headwinds remain a concern for investors over both immediate and long-term horizons.
Bitcoin experienced a brief recovery with a 6% surge due to relief rally conditions and ETF inflows, but later traded sideways as macroeconomic concerns, tariffs, and weak consumer data pressured sentiment. In the short term, its gains might be tempered by ongoing economic risks, while deferred ETF liquidation events could influence future movements.
XRP showed an 8% increase amidst the relief rally, suggesting that traders are optimistic in the short term. However, macroeconomic uncertainties could limit the sustainability of these gains if broader economic pressures resume.
Solana outperformed with a surge exceeding 9%, reflecting strong short-term bullish sentiment. If the broader market remains stable, SOL could continue to see gains, but sensitivity to macroeconomic shifts may exert pressure in the longer term.
Chainlink experienced a rally with gains over 13% at one point, underlining strong bullish momentum in the short term. However, similar to other coins, macroeconomic headwinds and market corrections could exert downward pressure if the wider economic environment does not improve.
