Bitcoin Dips Below $100K Following Trump’s New Trade Tariffs

Bitcoin Falls Below $100K as Trump Announces New Trade Tariffs

  • Bitcoin retreated below $100,000 following new US trade tariffs announcement.
  • Trump’s tariff policy on China, Canada, and Mexico imports raises inflation concerns.
  • Bitget Research predicts potential correction to $95,000 support level.
  • Market analysts debate whether current dip represents a bear trap.
  • Concerns grow about potential impact of higher interest rates on crypto markets.

The cryptocurrency market faced significant pressure as Bitcoin dropped below the psychological $100,000 barrier on February 2, following President Donald Trump‘s announcement of new trade tariffs targeting major US trading partners.

The tariff implementation, affecting imports from China, Canada, and Mexico, has sparked concerns about inflationary pressures that could force central banks to maintain higher interest rates longer than anticipated. This monetary policy outlook has traditionally correlated with decreased appetite for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, identifies $95,000 as a crucial support level that could determine the market’s next directional move. However, not all analysts share the bearish sentiment. Notable market observer Aksel Kibar offered a contrarian view on X (formerly Twitter), stating that panic and crash forecasts after every 1% correction do not signal a market top.

Historical data suggests that trade-related uncertainties have previously triggered cryptocurrency market volatility. The 2018-2019 US-China trade war, for instance, coincided with significant price fluctuations in digital assets, though direct causation remains debated among market analysts.

The current market dynamics reflect the growing integration between traditional macroeconomic factors and cryptocurrency valuations, highlighting how geopolitical decisions increasingly influence digital asset prices. A risk-off environment, characterized by investors moving capital to perceived safer assets, could present challenges for cryptocurrency market recovery in the near term.
