Trump's 'Tariff Card' Causes Market Turmoil Again: US Stocks and BTC Suffer Double Blow, Investors Fall into Mystical Panic
Trump's 'Verbal Attacks' Become a Market Black Swan Again. Following his public call to 'buy stocks' a few days ago, his latest 'tariff combo'—demanding Apple and Samsung to build factories in the US or face a 25% tariff, while announcing a 50% tariff increase on the EU starting June 1—directly shattered market rebound expectations.
US stocks opened lower, with the Nasdaq index erasing all gains from last week within 2 hours, and the $BTC, which had just risen to $28,000, quickly dipped to $26,500, while the panic index (VIX) soared to 35. The stock of stablecoins on exchanges surged by 12% in a single day, and market sentiment instantly turned bleak.
The crypto market is under pressure but has not completely collapsed: BTC briefly fell below the 200-day moving average, but on-chain data shows that whale addresses (holding over 1,000 BTC) net increased their holdings by 800 today, and Grayscale's GBTC premium rate remains at a low of -3.2%, indicating a split state of 'panic selling and institutional accumulation' in the market. 🔮
Weekend Sentiment Becomes a Key Turning Point
Will the impact of tariffs be 'desensitized'? Historical data shows that the three tariff threats in 2024 triggered a 5%-8% short-term market pullback, but ultimately rebounded due to the grounded impact being less than expected.
If this 50% tariff is merely a 'negotiation chip,' the market may gradually digest it during the weekend news vacuum.
The 'stock game' predicament of BTC: After 18 consecutive days of decline in BTC stock on exchanges, two waves of inflow peaks (totaling over 20,000 BTC) suddenly appeared today, but the long-term trend still points to centralized holdings, and panic selling pressure may provide institutions with a 'bloodied chip' collection window.
📌 Investor Survival Guide
Stay away from leverage and refuse to chase highs and sell lows: The unpredictability of Trump's policies has rendered technical indicators ineffective; high leverage positions are fragile in the face of sudden news;
Pay attention to non-farm data and G7 developments: The US non-farm employment data to be released this Friday night may reveal the true resilience of the economy, while the G7 finance ministers' response to tariffs may determine the market direction for next week;
Use 'time to exchange for space': History proves that holding core assets (such as BTC and gold) during periods of policy fluctuations has a higher success rate than frequent trading; a 'panic investment' plan can be set up (such as increasing positions when prices drop below $25,000).
