Woke up today and the charts are literally bleeding. If you haven’t checked yet, don't. It’s a mess.
What just happened?
Trump just dropped a bombshell proposal for new tariffs on 8 European countries. The market reacted exactly how you’d expect pure panic. Everyone is dumping "Risk Assets" (aka our crypto bags) and running back to Gold.
The Carnage (Jan 20, 2026):
$BTC Bitcoin: Crashed over 3.6%, struggling to even stay at $91,800.
$ETH Ethereum: Took a 4.9% hit.
$SOL Solana: The biggest loser today, down a massive 8.6%! 📉
Total market cap? $100 Billion gone. Just like that.
🎓 Lessons for the "Newbies" (Educational)
I see people asking "Why did it drop?" every 5 minutes. Listen:
Macro is King: You can have the best tech, but if a President mentions "Tariffs," the bots start selling. Period.
The "Safe Haven" Rotation: When trade wars start, money flows to Gold. Gold is hitting record highs while we’re sitting here holding red candles. 🥇
Stop Loss is your best friend: If you didn't have one set today, you're probably down 10% on your whole portfolio. Never trade without a plan.
💬 My Move:
I'm not selling. This feels like a massive "TACO" Risk (Trump's Atlantic Conflict Opportunity). Whales use these political scares to shake out the weak hands before a bounce.
What are you doing?
💎 HODL: Waiting for the bounce.
💸 PANIC: Selling everything before it hits $80k.
🛍️ BUY: Grabbing that cheap $130 Solana.
