Bitcoin Crash Triggered by Trump’s Tariff Move — Price Forecast & Bounceback Timing
The crypto markets were jolted by the sudden announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports by U.S. President Donald Trump. The fallout was swift: Bitcoin plunged, liquidations cascaded, and traders scrambled for safety. On Binance, BTC’s price dropped sharply, sparking fresh concerns about its volatility and macro sensitivity.
Trump’s announcement of sweeping tariffs and export controls created immediate fear around supply chain disruption, trade retaliation, and economic slowdown. Such geopolitical shocks tend to spook risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Because many BTC positions are highly leveraged—especially in derivatives markets—sudden downward pressure triggers stop-loss cascades and margin calls. Over $19 billion in crypto positions were liquidated in a single session.
Recovery (3–6+ months)
Many forecasts expect BTC recovery and renewed upward momentum by year-end. if macro turbulence subsides.
For example, CoinCodex predicts that BTC could trade between $111,127 and $125,643 in the coming months.
Some bull case projections suggest BTC might push beyond $130,000+ or more if institutional demand returns.
Binance’s own prediction tools project moderate gains (e.g. ~5%) in the near term.
