The crypto market experienced a significant dip on Sunday as international markets began to open to an uncertain macroeconomic environment, sending the price of bitcoin below $80,000 for the first time since early March.

The Block's GMCI 30 Index performance since the start of the month.
The top 30 cryptocurrencies in total are down over 6% over the past day, according to The Block's GMCI 30 index . Year to date, the index is down over 32%.
Bucking the trend, Pi Network (PI) has gained about 1.52% over the past day, and ZCash is up 0.7% , according to The Block's price data.
The significant dip comes as international markets begin to open after a weekend in which U.S. President Trump made no indication that he plans to ease up on the significant tariffs he imposed on most other nations last Wednesday, triggering the worst stock performances since 2020.
Injective CEO Eric Chen previously told The Block that Bitcoin may be holding up better than altcoins "...because its market structure has fundamentally changed post-ETF, with demand now coming from retirement accounts, macro funds and corporate treasuries like MicroStrategy (MSTR) and GameStop (GME)."

Bank of America's chief strategist Hartnett maintains a risk-averse stance, pushing the entry window back to next spring. The US Dollar Index has hit a new yearly high, and combined with high oil prices and persistent inflation, none of his three entry conditions have been met. He now expects the US dollar to peak between February and March next year, with the end of the global rate hike cycle delayed until the Federal Reserve's meeting in April. Currently, risk assets are "too expensive to go long, but also difficult to short due to protective measures."
