BTC, ETH, XRP is set for a near-term bounce as attention turns on rate cuts

An oversold market and reaction to US tariffs may be a thing of the past with entrepreneurs who are now looking at new economic data and rates in the coming months – with expectations of a bounce of bitcoin in the near term.
Crypto markets saw high volatility on Wednesday and Thursday in the run-up to the tariff announcement, in which President Donald Trump imposed a minimum of 10% fee in all imports in the country.

The markets have since shown a riot at prices Friday morning, with a stable BTC of over $ 83,100, taking ETH $ 1,800 and XRP, Sol and ADA which increases by more than 2%.
At the forefront of Trump’s speech, investors moved the larger volume of Bitcoin, ETH, and XRP to the exchanges, suggesting a growing intent to sell, each cryptoquant record shared with CoinDesk on Thursday. Bitcoin transactions climbed nearly 2,500 BTCs in a single block just hours after Trump started speaking.
In the US, Coinbase also saw the increase in Bitcoin deposits, especially from large holders.
Similarly, the ETH flows into spiked exchanges at a time -time peak of approximately 80,000 ETH. The transfer of XRP to Binance jumped to 130 million at an hour, from under 10 million XRP per hour throughout most of the previous day.
The rising exchanges of the exchange reflect the investor’s willingness to come out of positions amid growing economic uncertainty, the cryptoquant said, with demand for Bitcoin and ETH which drops the Perpetual Futures Market as businessmen closed their long position to earn income.

Data shows the markets are pricing at four rates of reduction in 2025 – 0.25 bps each in June, July, September and December. Rate cuts occur when a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve, lowers interest rates to stimulate economic growth by making cheaper.
Bitcoin, and the broader market, tend to react positively to mate, as lower rates reduce traditional investment appeal such as bonds, driving investors to successors such as BTC. In addition, a weaker dollar can enhance the BTC value as a fence against inflation or lowering of money.
The QCP Capital says it continues to observe the elevated volatility in the short term, with more consumers of downside protection.
