$BTC Bitcoin fell more than 2% on Sunday as digital assets struggled to find equilibrium amid changing signals from Washington regarding trade policy with China.

The price of the world's largest cryptocurrency dropped to $83,482 during Asian trading hours, partially reversing last week's gains and underperforming compared to the stock markets.

Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, fell below $1,600, while altcoins recorded mixed results, according to data from CoinGecko.

The decline came after a weekend of contradictory messages from the Trump administration regarding whether electronics manufactured in China (including smartphones, semiconductors, and laptops) would face new tariffs.
