🧾 Weekly Crypto Recap: Fed Holds Rates & Trump Strikes With New Tariffs
The crypto market faced intense pressure this week as macro factors collided. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.50%, signaling caution amid slowing job growth. Meanwhile, President Trump triggered market anxiety with sweeping new tariffs—up to 35%—targeting nations without U.S. trade deals.
This double blow sent Bitcoin below $115K, with Ethereum, XRP, and other altcoins falling up to 9.5%. Over $500M was liquidated in a flash sell-off, and total market cap dipped toward $3.75T.
Risk remains high—but with volatility comes opportunity for those watching closely.
