Bitcoin Bounces Back Above $100K Amid Market Volatility

Bitcoin rebounded on Tuesday, recovering from Monday's dip below the critical $100,000 mark. The world's largest cryptocurrency rose 2.7%, trading at $103,036.4 by early morning, as bargain hunters swooped in to capitalize on the drop. However, fears of a broader market rout tied to artificial intelligence and global economic uncertainty kept traders cautious.

AI Fears Weigh on Markets

The crypto market has not been immune to the turbulence emanating from Wall Street. The selloff in major tech stocks, led by NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), has spilled over into other risk assets. At the heart of this market upheaval is China's DeepSeek R1—an advanced AI model that rivals ChatGPT in functionality while requiring significantly less costly hardware.

This technological breakthrough has raised concerns about the sustainability of high capital expenditures on AI, pressuring global tech stocks and, by extension, cryptocurrencies.

Trump's Crypto Policies in Focus

Adding to the uncertainty is U.S. President Donald Trump's mixed stance on cryptocurrencies. While his recent executive order aimed at fostering innovation in the crypto sector fell short of expectations, his tariff threats have introduced further anxiety into the markets.

Interestingly, President Trump's memecoin, $TRUMP, which suffered a 60% drop from its peak, showed signs of stabilization. But its future trajectory remains unclear, mirroring the broader market sentiment.
