Trump’s Tariffs Hurt Bitcoin Even More Than an All-Out War: The Shocking Numbers!

by

There once was a fantastical coin called Bitcoin, who—despite being worth more than a golden cruise ship—had terrible trouble dancing beyond that troublesome $105,000 hurdle. Oh, she tried, by golly. She leaped and wobbled and shimmied, but every time she raised a toe, someone (or something!) smacked it back down faster than you can say “bad exchange rate!”

Investors remain, as always, a peculiar breed: part-dreamer, part-drama-queen, and desperately hoping the next big uptick is somewhere between their morning toast and the next global incident. The world spun, the Israel-Iran conflict simmered on, and grown adults in tight gray suits muttered about “market uncertainty,” as if that explained why they suddenly looked constipated by mid-morning. 🍵

Investors: Less Afraid of Nukes Than Tariffs?!

If you were to peep into the minds of BTC holders lately, you’d spot a declining line—a sentiment graph slithering down like an earthworm escaping a hungry robin. It wasn’t just the possibility of real, actual war making everyone jittery, oh no. April served up a hearty portion of “Trump’s tariff tantrum” and—would you believe it—sentiment then dropped harder than a cake at a clumsy baker’s convention.

The situation, while nail-biting, isn’t quite the disaster of last spring. Back then, Bitcoin plummeted below $80,000. That’s right, folks! Cryptocurrency was cheaper than a slightly used private jet. The current bout of global squabbles has managed to tug at wallets, but nobody’s crawling under the desk quite yet. Not unless their computer is bolted to the floor.

And yet—like children sneaking biscuits before supper—investors keep snatching up Bitcoin. This very week, 14,004 more BTCs (worth a squillion dollars, give or take a million) were tucked away in wallets. It’s clear: as long as confidence (and snacks) hold out, Bitcoin’s storm shelter is stocked and ready.

Bitcoin: Stuck in a Dreadful Tug-of-War

At this very moment, Bitcoin is perched at $105,000, teetering like a giraffe trying roller skates for the first time, and eyeing $108,000 with hungry anticipation. Should she manage to totter above $108k, the next great summit is $110,000 (where, no doubt, more peril and investor euphoria await).

If—oh, the suspense!—Bitcoin barrels through $109,476, you can all line up for your suitcases stuffed with optimism, because the bulls will be dancing in the streets (and possibly trampling someone’s garden gnome for good luck).

But! And it’s a wobbly “but”—should sentiment crumple under the relentless weight of world news, Bitcoin could tumble, slip, maybe even nosedive, smacking right into $102,734 (or splat, all the way down to $101,503). If this happens, well, the bullish dream will need CPR. Buckle your seatbelts, dear cryptonauts. 🍿
