#BreakoutTradingStrategy Market Situation

The proposed tariffs by Trump of 25 to 40% targeting 14 countries until August 2025 have caused shockwaves in global markets. The policy aims to address the trade deficits of the United States but threatens supply chains and investor confidence, with Asian export economies being particularly vulnerable. Mixed Signals examines the interpretation of these developments by crypto.

Key Factors

• Strategic targeting: Higher rates (40%) on small economies like Laos/Myanmar

• Uncertainty of implementation: Changing timelines complicate risk assessment

• Potential escalation: Markets are factoring in retaliatory measures and warnings from the UN

Trade Implications

Bitcoin initially dropped 6% following the February announcement but has stabilized around 108,000 $ with new institutional interest, suggesting the emerging role of crypto as a macroeconomic hedge. Traders should:

• Monitor movements of the US dollar against Asian currencies

• Consider BTC/stablecoins if negotiations deteriorate

• Exploit derivatives before the August deadline
