Deep Tide TechFlow News, January 2, CoinDesk analyst James Van Straten stated that the continued strength of the dollar, due to Trump's policies and the Federal Reserve's anticipated interest rate stance, may put pressure on Bitcoin in the coming months. Dragosch stated, 'Trump has indicated that he will impose tariffs on major trading partners, which could exacerbate global geopolitical uncertainty and further drive demand for the dollar, as the dollar is seen as a safe haven in turbulent times. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has communicated to the market that they will only make two rate cuts in 2025—far below previous expectations. As a result, the dollar is appreciating, and yields continue to rise. I believe this is also one of the factors currently putting pressure on Bitcoin. The macroeconomic environment is now a headwind.'
