The $BTC pair is facing turbulent times as Bitcoin reacts to escalating global trade tensions. On April 8, 2025, Bitcoin briefly surged to $88k before dropping 5.1% to around $75,000, triggered by President Trump’s sweeping tariffs on US trading partners, effective April 9. Analysts note this "tariff shock" has wiped trillions from equities, with crypto not immune—$745 million in bullish bets liquidated in a day. Despite this, some see hope: BlackRock’s Larry Fink suggests a weaker US dollar could lift $BTC, while experts predict a potential rebound to $100k if it decouples from stocks. Today, $BTC hovers near $78,000—volatility reigns!
