The markets just got hit with a Friday surprise 👀
After President Trump hinted at huge new tariffs on China, both crypto and stocks plunged in unison.
Bitcoin ($BTC ) slipped under $119K — its lowest since early October.
Ethereum ($ETH ) dropped nearly 5% to $4,100.
Solana ($SOL ) followed, down over 4% to $211.
💥 Nearly $773M in crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, according to CoinGlass — most of them longs.
This move echoes earlier tariff shocks in Trump’s presidency, which often sparked short-term volatility before sharp rebounds.
Yet, not everyone’s bearish.
🔸 45% of predictors on Myriad Markets still expect BTC to retest $140K before any deep correction.
🔸 Arthur Hayes and Max Keiser both argue the “fiat era is ending” — and that Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory remains up despite macro noise.
📊 So, what’s next?
Is this just a healthy shakeout before the next leg up, or the start of a deeper macro-driven pullback?
