  • Aergo price has dived 12% as Bitcoin and top altcoins rally.
  • The AERGO token falls amid profit-taking after a staggering 300% surge.
  • Bears could eye levels below $0.20.

Aergo price has dipped further as profit-taking holds, with the altcoin declining even as most altcoins rose in the past 24 hours.

These losses come after a staggering 300% surge for AERGO seen earlier this month. The token has nosedived despite a major network update.

“With AERGO 2.7.0, smart contract verification enters a new era. By embedding AI-powered auditing directly into the platform, AERGO ensures contracts are not only deployed faster but with greater confidence in their security and integrity,” the Aergo team wrote.

The AERGO price action today

As of April 23, 2025, the price of AERGO hovered near $0.21, down 12% per data from CoinMarketCap.

The decline comes amid heightened volatility, with the token’s meteoric rise having given way to massive selling pressure.

Notably, like other recent explosive tokens such as VOXEL, Aergo has seen a significant spike in concerns over potential market manipulation.

Analysts have also pointed to potential insider selling, a 44% drop in a single day recently exacerbating the concerns.

Market analyst Ash Crypto shared in a post on X:

As AERGO price falls, altcoins such as Deepbook, Zerebro, and Sui have surged in the past 24 hours.

ETH, XRP, and SOL have led the mega cap alts higher also.

The upside follows Bitcoin (BTC) edging past key resistance levels to regain $94k.

BTC’s surge comes amid a weaker US dollar and strong institutional buying, with news on tariffs and other factors catalysing gains.

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have also shown strong institutional demand, aligning inflows with Bitcoin’s resilience.

This means AERGO’s pullback stands out, including the 10% decrease in daily volume.

AERGO price analysis

Despite today’s dip, AERGO remained up 222% in the past month, reflecting the recent strength of the altcoin’s surge.

However, AERGO’s price action reflects a classic post-pump correction.

After surging to an all-time high near $0.70 on April 16, driven by Binance’s perpetual contracts and DigiFinex’s USDT trading pair listing, the token faced intense selling pressure.

It means bulls have a lot to do to reclaim recent peaks.

On the upside, AERGO faces resistance at $0.23 and $0.28, with a break above potentially targeting $0.42.

Bitcoin tends to outperform gold and stocks after global shocks, Mercado Bitcoin finds

The study analyzed 60-day windows after economic or geopolitical shocks and found that Bitcoin posted stronger returns than gold and the S&P 500 in each period.

What to know:

  • A study by Mercado Bitcoin found that bitcoin tends to outperform traditional safe-haven assets like gold in the 2 months following major global crises.
  • The study analyzed 60-day windows after economic or geopolitical shocks and found that bitcoin posted stronger returns than gold and the S&P 500 in each period.
  • Despite its volatility, bitcoin has consistently bounced back after crises and has been the best-performing asset of the past decade, according to the study’s author, Rony Szuster.

Bitcoin tends to outperform traditional safe haven assets like gold in the two months following major global crises, according to new analysis from Brazilian crypto exchange Mercado Bitcoin.

The study, led by Rony Szuster, head of research at the Latin American crypto platform, examined 60-day windows after economic or geopolitical shocks such as the COVID-19 outbreak and U.S. tariff escalations. Bitcoin posted stronger returns than both gold and the S&P 500 in each of the periods analyzed.

In April last year, after the Trump administration announced sweeping tariffs, the price of bitcoin jumped 24% over the following 60 days. Gold rose 8%, and the S&P 500 gained 4%, the firm found.

A similar pattern emerged at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, when BTC rose 21%, while the other assets trailed.

Szuster cautioned that judging bitcoin’s performance too soon after a crisis can be misleading.

“It’s like watching the first few minutes of a movie and thinking you already know how it ends,” he said. “In moments like this, investors sell positions to reduce risk or raise cash, and even defensive assets can fall.”

That happens as investors scramble for liquidity, yet bitcoin has consistently bounced back, the firm found. The pattern appears to be repeating in the current U.S.-Iran conflict, where bitcoin is the only one of the three assets in positive territory so far, according to Szuster.

Data backs this up. Since the war started, bitcoin has risen by more than 2.2%, from around $65,800 to $67,300 at the time of writing. Gold, the traditional safe haven, has meanwhile dropped around 11%, while the S&P lost 4.4% of its value in the index’s steepest monthly drop since 2022.

Despite its volatility, bitcoin was the best-performing asset over the past decade, he added.
