Today, the BTC price has fallen below $84,000, currently at $83,992.60, with a daily drop of 1.52%, continuing the recent downward trend.

Macroeconomic Policy Impact
The Trump administration plans to announce a large-scale tariff policy at 4 AM Beijing time on April 3, including doubling tariffs on Asian countries and imposing a uniform 20% tariff on global goods. The market's risk-averse sentiment has intensified ahead of this policy implementation, putting pressure on U.S. stocks, and BTC, as a risk asset, has been affected accordingly.
The U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI has contracted to its lowest level since May 2023, combined with recession expectations, which has strengthened the flow of funds into safe-haven assets, but BTC has yet to fully demonstrate its 'digital gold' properties and remains influenced by U.S. stock movements in the short term.

Short-term: Focus on buying opportunities in the $78,000-$75,000 support range, and be wary of market volatility after the tariff policy is implemented.
Medium to long-term: If BTC stabilizes above $80,000, gradual positioning can be considered; if it falls below $75,000, risk assessment needs to be re-evaluated.
Summary: Don't rush, stay steady, and look at the long term. I've already cut losses on altcoins. Let it be. Phew!
