Bitcoin hits $87k, signalling strength and bullish momentum while the U.S dollar struggles to maintain value in the market.
Bitcoin has surged 3.5% to hit $87.4k, with a 90% increase in trading volume in the past 24 hours, at press time, per CoinMarketCap data. The market is witnessing a major shift in global trade currencies, traditionally dominated by the U.S. dollar. Fears of inflationary policies and economic uncertainties following the recent trade tariffs are rising.
Looking at the charts, the market could be losing faith in the U.S. dollar as digital assets gain stability, growth, and market maturity. A side-to-side comparison of the U.S dollar Index and BTC /USD shows that Bitcoin is performing better in the market amid a collapsing U.S dollar.

So, why is the US dollar collapsing?
A sharp drop in the U.S. dollar suggests growing concerns regarding inflation, global economic uncertainity, and interest rates. The concept of Bitcoin becoming the “digital gold” and a hedge against such chaos is solidifying. With Bitcoin joining traditional balance sheets, the market is closely watching this shift in market sentiment.
