Bitcoin Has Dumped All of Its Gains Since Trump Was Reelected—And Then Some
BTC >50% off peak since post‑reelection surge; watch liquidity, funding and altcoin weakness.
Detailed read
BTC surged after President Trump's reelection into 2025 but subsequent selling erased those gains; the coin now sits over 50% below its peak. A drawdown of this size typically thins liquidity, lifts funding costs and raises the odds of forced deleveraging that will weigh on altcoins and derivatives.
Historical signal. The original monitoring horizon was first 1h - 4h after publication.
Bitcoin surged in the wake of President Trump's reelection, pushing to new highs deep into 2025. Now it's down more than 50% from that peak.
Why it matters
A large BTC drawdown compresses liquidity and flips risk appetite: leveraged longs face liquidation risk, funding rates can spike, and correlated altcoins usually underperform during broad BTC weakness.
What could go wrong
If selling is orderly profit‑taking or part of broader macro rotation rather than forced deleveraging, price action could stabilize or rebound and the bearish read would weaken.
