Bitcoin faced pressure in the first week of 2025 due to strong US employment data and ongoing inflation concerns. The initial optimism surrounding Bitcoin's rally after President-elect Donald Trump's election victory has been overshadowed by economic worries. While Bitcoin had been bullish on sentiment, regulatory clarity, and potential pro-crypto policies, recent economic data has shifted focus to macroeconomic factors. Bitcoin's correlation with traditional financial markets, particularly the Nasdaq, remains important, and it has acted as a "flight to safety" asset similar to gold. There is anticipation of fluctuations in Bitcoin's price as the market adjusts to changing economic data and expected policies of the new administration, but the long-term growth trends in the crypto space are still seen as positive.
