š° Bitcoin Dips to 3āWeek Low Amid Trump Tariff Shock
Bitcoin dropped to ~$114,250, breaking its threeāweek trading range after President Trump signed sweeping tariff orders. This sparked roughly $630 million in crypto liquidations, mostly on long positions, and analysts warn of further downside toward $111K support if momentum doesnāt reverse.
š» Crypto Markets React Sharply
Within the last 24 hours, Bitcoin fell ~3.2%, while Ethereum, XRP, and Solana dropped between 2.5% to 9.5%. This correction reflects broader risk-off sentiment triggered by tariff news.
ā ļø Institutional Sentiment Turns Cautious
A recent survey shows nearly half of institutional investors view Trumpās tariff strategy as underestimated risk, with many shifting to defensive assetsāholding more cash (40%) or reallocating to staple/value stocks (~41%).

ā¶ļø Macro Context & Analyst Insights
Trump imposed a 10% baseline import tariff, with a steep 35% levy on Canadian goods, contributing to market turbulence.
Analysts see the current scenario as a short-term correction rather than a market collapse. Bitcoin could rebound if talks with China or other nations ease trade tensions.
CoinShares commentary: Crypto initially acts like a risk assetāfalling with equitiesābut may later serve as a hedge if tariffs trigger inflation and weaken fiat currencies.
š” What to Watch
BTC price action near $111K support: A failure to hold could decline further, while bounce-back could indicate stabilizing sentiment.
Onāchain signals: A 25% surge in Bitcoin options open interest, along with institutional inflows into PAXG (gold tokens) and ETH accumulation by major players, suggest big markets are positioning for a recovery.
