🚨 MACRO UPDATE: Delays, Imbalances, and a Quiet BTC Push Higher

The U.S. Supreme Court has delayed its ruling on President Trump’s tariffs — again.

This marks the second consecutive delay, with no clear timeline for a decision. On Polymarket, the odds of Trump winning the case sit at just ~30%.

Meanwhile, despite the ongoing trade war with the U.S., China reported a record 2025 trade surplus of $1.189T, up 20% YoY.

Exports to the U.S.: -20%

Offset by:

Africa +25.8%

ASEAN +13.4%

EU +8.4%

📉 U.S. equities pulled back after a strong run, led by sell-offs in tech and banking stocks.

📈 Bitcoin moves differently.

$BTC quietly pushed above $97K, its first time above that level since Nov 14.

Crypto market sentiment jumped from 48 (Neutral) yesterday to 61 (Greed) today.

🧠 Takeaway:

Traditional markets hesitate amid legal and macro uncertainty.

Bitcoin keeps climbing — slow, steady, and indifferent.
