Oh, sweet chaos! The cryptocurrency markets might just be ready to pick themselves up off the floor as investor sentiment tries its best to stabilize after *that* jaw-dropping tariff announcement from our favorite tweet-happy President, Donald Trump. 🎉 Analysts are dubbing this the “climax of uncertainty” which sounds incredibly dramatic and frankly, a bit like my dating life.
So, on April 2, Trump decided to play economic chess, and guess what? The S&P 500 trembled in terror, losing over $5 trillion—*yikes*! That’s more than the pandemic crash in March 2020! Cheers to the power of tariffs, huh? 🍷
But fear not, dear crypto enthusiasts! Some analysts are shining a silver lining brighter than my mom’s love for her collection of ceramic frogs. 🌼 According to Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Consultancy (the leading expert on dramatic metaphors), the tariffs supposedly represent the uncertainty spilling all over the markets. Liberation Day—sounds like the name of a band I’d totally see live—is essentially the grand reveal of the new rules! Who doesn’t love a good plot twist?
Trump’s new game plan imposes a 10% tariff on every morsel of US imports starting April 5, with a snazzier “reciprocal tariff” of up to 54% on certain countries that are clearly not on his Christmas list. 🎁 How generous!

We might finally escape from this never-ending uncertainty and see some fresh cash flowing back into crypto markets! Van de Poppe thinks we’ll soon witness a rotation toward crypto as calm settles like a cozy blanket over the chaos. It’s all about buying the dip, my friends! 🔥
“We’ll start to see the rotation toward the crypto markets in the coming period where there’s more calm and peace in the markets where investors start to buy the dip and understand that some things have been undervalued.”
In all seriousness (but like, not too serious), Van de Poppe warns that the economic impact might just provoke the US Federal Reserve to ease interest rates and kick off a shiny new round of quantitative easing (QE). Can we just start calling it Quantitative Excitement? Sounds more fun! 🎉 Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, even claims Bitcoin could hop up to $250,000 if the Fed jumps into a QE cycle! I’ll take two, please!
But Wait! The Tariff Sword Still Looms
On the flip side, the uncertainty of tariffs continues to hang over the markets like a dark cloud during a picnic. Noelle Acheson, newsletter queen of “Crypto is Macro Now,” reminds us that we can absolutely count on President Trump flipping his script a few times in the coming weeks—just like flipping pancakes, but less tasty.
“With heightened uncertainty a given in these markets, we can expect more risk-off behavior, even though some short-term bounces may bring some relief.”
Oh, and don’t forget, for crypto, Bitcoin is still behaving like a risk asset while gold sips its tea and smashing through all-time highs like it’s at a VIP party. 🎊 Meanwhile, Nansen is predicting a 70% chance that the market could hit rock bottom by June, depending on how those thrilling tariff negotiations shake out. Talk about a nail-biter! 🍿
