What’s Going On?
The U.S. just slapped 104% tariffs on select Chinese goods, reigniting global trade tensions.
Markets don’t like uncertainty—and that includes crypto.
Here’s how it’s playing out:
• BTC: Breaks down below $75,000
• ETH: Slides under $1,500
• Altcoins: Seeing deeper corrections across the board
Short-Term Impact
1. Risk-off environment
• Investors are fleeing volatile assets like crypto and rotating into cash, gold, or U.S. Treasuries.
• Expect continued volatility, especially if macro tensions escalate.
2. Low confidence = sell pressure
• Margin longs getting liquidated.
• Weak hands exiting the market.
3. Narrative shift
• From bullish momentum to macro-driven fear.
• Traders are reacting emotionally—smart money is watching patiently.
Long-Term Outlook
1. Crypto as a macro hedge? Still developing.
• BTC isn’t behaving like “digital gold” yet—it’s still seen as a risk asset in global uncertainty.
• But the macro pain today could lead to stronger demand tomorrow as fiat systems get tested.
2. More regulations incoming
• Global conflicts often lead to tightening of capital controls, more KYC/AML scrutiny, and regulation.
• Crypto becomes even more valuable as a decentralized escape valve.
3. Buying opportunities forming
• Historically, geopolitical sell-offs have been followed by strong recovery runs in crypto—especially BTC.
• Watch for consolidation zones and accumulation by whales.
My Take:
This is not the time to panic—it’s the time to prepare.
• Use this dip to re-evaluate your portfolio.
• Stay informed, not emotional.
• Stack stables, define entries with solid RRR, and protect capital with stop-losses.
Markets punish the impulsive and reward the patient.
