The most recent price action of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency markets reflects the disappointment in the most recent press conference held by the crypto and AI czar in the US David Sacks. Markets are shaky and unconvincing, clearly suggesting that investors were expecting something more.

Bitcoin Price Struggles Below $100K

After recovering above the pivotal psychological and, to some extent technical level of $100,000, Bitcoins price tumbled yesterday. The buyers were unable to defend this point, allowing the bears to take control and push it down to where it currently trades below $98,000. This reflects a decrease of around 1.4% over the past 24 hours.

Speaking for the first time since he was elected, Sacks shed some light on their future plans concerning crypto, and it appears that investors were disappointed. Many expected the confirmation of a Bitcoin-only strategic reserve, while the politicians said they are currently exploring both options a single-asset reserve and a digital asset stockpile- as President Trump has tasked them to explore the feasibility of both.

Moreover, Sacks said their very first priority would be on regulating stablecoins and that he expects laws to pass Congress in six months.

Politics aside, Bitcoins dominance the metric used to gauge its share relative to that of the rest of the market is currently at a 4-year high, standing tall at 58%.
