Should You Buy Bitcoin While It's 20% Below Its Record High?

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) price reached its all-time high of more than $109,000 on Jan. 25. The approvals of its first spot price exchange-traded funds (ETFs) last January, its latest halving (which every four years cuts the rewards in half for mining new coins) last April, three interest rate cuts, and President Donald Trump's election victory last November all brought the bulls back to the top cryptocurrency.

But as of this writing, Bitcoin's price has retreated more than 20% to about $84,000. That decline can be largely attributed to the Trump administration's plans to impose or raise tariffs, which are stoking fears of higher inflation and elevated interest rates. Does this pullback represent a buying opportunity, or will Bitcoin's price drop even further this year?
