Trump’s tax bill and Fed uncertainty
According to LVRG Research Director Nick Ruck, another reason for the last withdrawal in Bitcoin was the adoption of President Trump’s tax bill in the US Senate. The bill includes deduction in public expenditures such as Medicaid and large -scale tax cuts.
The tax exemption article of the bill, which is important for the crypto sector, was not included in the final package. This development brought new concerns about the US budget deficit and economic activity among investors.

FED and liquidity conditions
On the other hand, Speaking at the forum organized by the European Central Bank, the US Federal Bank (FED) President Jerome Powell said that interest rate cut decisions would be completely dependent on data, but did not give a clue to the timing.
“Macro data and the progress of Trump’s tax law in Congress, the main factors that will determine the general aspect of risky assets. The crypto market is also directly affected by this wave,” said Peter Chung.
According to Chung, another important issue is the liquidity conditions: “Early signals indicate that there may be a serious improvement in liquidity in the near term.”
Despite this decline in the crypto market, Chung said that these price movements should not exaggerate:
“Compared to the traditional world of finance, these movements may seem great, but it is quite normal for the crypto. As a general rule, divide the crypto price movements into five, here is the equivalent of the stock market.”
