- Q2 crypto outlook uncertain amid inflation, tariff concerns & Fed questions
- Coinbase sees potential crypto recovery in Q2, likely after stocks rebound
- Bitcoin tests critical $90-91k resistance; breakout could target $100k
As the market heads into the second quarter of 2025, crypto investors closely monitor inflation expectations, particularly within the context of ongoing US tariffs.
Persistently rising inflation could dampen consumer confidence, potentially adding pressure across both stock and crypto markets. This uncertain backdrop, complicated by questions around future Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, makes risk management essential.
Coinbase Outlook: Crypto Follows Stocks
Exchange giant Coinbase offers a cautiously optimistic view, suggesting investors prepare for a potential crypto market recovery sometime in Q2 2025.
Their latest Monthly Outlook highlights that upcoming corporate earnings reports in April could provide a clearer picture of US consumer financial health than earlier survey data might indicate.
If earnings prove resilient, Coinbase suggests, it could set the stage for a broader risk-asset rebound later in the quarter, possibly leading to new highs in the second half of the year. However, the report adds a crucial caveat regarding the sequence: “we think that it’ll be hard for crypto to stage a recovery before traditional risk assets do, so we’re watching US equities closely for signs of capitulation.”

If Bitcoin can break through this level and sustain a close above it, it could be on track to reach $100,000 again.
However, if the price fails to break this resistance, it could face a downward trend, potentially moving back towards $75,000 to $74,000.
