Bitcoin’s Wild Ride: Will NVIDIA Save the Day or Just Make It Worse?

by

In a universe not so far away, Bitcoin has decided to take a leisurely tumble below the mystical threshold of $95,000, while the Nasdaq 100 index, that tech-savvy rollercoaster, has plummeted for the second day in a row, all in anticipation of NVIDIA’s earnings report. Because, of course, nothing says “financial stability” like a good old-fashioned nosedive! 🚀

Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) is lounging at a cozy $93,690, which is a delightful 13.3% drop from its peak this year. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 index has been on a three-day retreat, reaching a low of 21,360, which is 3.5% below its highest level this month. It’s almost as if they’re both in a race to see who can fall faster! 🏃‍♂️💨

The main event this week, the one that could either save the day or send everyone into a panic, is NVIDIA’s earnings report. This report promises to unveil the secrets of the artificial intelligence industry, which is as mysterious as a cat in a box. 🐱📦

NVIDIA, the second-largest company by market capitalization (a staggering $3.285 trillion, just behind Apple), has become the poster child of the AI sector. It’s like the prom queen of the tech world, and if she trips, the whole dance could go sideways. A slowdown in NVIDIA could trigger a sell-off in both equities and crypto, because why not? They’re practically best friends! 🤝

According to the wise sages at Yahoo Finance, analysts are predicting NVIDIA’s revenue to hit $38.15 billion, which is a 72% increase from the same quarter last year. That’s a number that could make even the most stoic accountant do a little jig! 💃

Meanwhile, Bitcoin and the Nasdaq 100 have also taken a step back due to concerns over Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. The former president has warned that steel and aluminum tariffs will take effect on March 1, along with a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian goods. It’s like a game of economic chess, but nobody knows the rules! ♟️

These tariffs could send Bitcoin’s price spiraling into the inflation abyss, prompting the Federal Reserve to adopt a hawkish stance. Risk assets, including our dear friend Bitcoin, tend to underperform in such an environment. James Toledano, the Chief Operating Officer of Unity Wallet, shared his thoughts:

“I think the sentiment and expectation around Bitcoin’s price is that it should be going stratospheric since President Trump took office on Jan 6th. But the reality is that the price has gone south, likely due to tariff trade wars, fragile peace talks in Eastern Europe, and fears around DeepSeek’s impact on the US tech sector.”

Bitcoin price may still rebound 

Technical indicators are whispering sweet nothings about a potential Bitcoin rebound this week. On the daily chart, Bitcoin has formed a falling wedge pattern, with the two trend lines getting all cozy at their confluence point. A bullish breakout typically occurs when this confluence is about to happen, which sounds like a fancy way of saying, “Hold onto your hats!” 🎩

Additionally, the two lines of the MACD indicator are inching toward a bullish crossover. Historically, such crossovers have been precursors to brief or prolonged rebounds. A bullish breakout could catapult BTC’s price back toward the elusive $100,000 mark in the near future. Or it could just as easily send it spiraling into the void. Who knows? It’s all part of the cosmic dance of finance! 💫
