Bitcoin began the week on a positive note, registering modest gains on both national and international exchanges on Monday, April 14. According to CoinMarketCap, the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency rose by less than one percent to trade at $84,850.
Despite the slight daily uptick, Bitcoin has seen a more substantial 10 percent increase over the past seven days, recovering from a sluggish stretch marked by its lowest price point of the year.
Last week, Bitcoin briefly slumped to around $76,000, shaken by ongoing volatility in global financial markets. Analysts point to renewed tensions over U.S. trade policies as one of the triggers for market instability. Former President Donald Trump’s recent rhetoric around escalating tariff measures is believed to have contributed to investor unease, rippling into the digital asset space.
On Indian exchanges, Bitcoin mirrored its global performance with a small gain of under one percent, trading at $87,644.
Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, also posted gains alongside Bitcoin.
On global exchanges, ETH was trading at $1,622 — up less than one percent over the previous day. Indian exchanges reflected stronger momentum, where Ether rose by over two percent to reach $1,693.
The overall cryptocurrency market experienced a mild uplift, with the global market capitalization climbing by 0.35 percent in the last 24 hours. CoinMarketCap pegged the sector’s total valuation at $2.69 trillion.
While the gains remain modest, they reflect a broader sense of cautious optimism among investors, many of whom are closely watching geopolitical developments and macroeconomic signals for direction.
