Bitcoin Slips as Trump Raises Global Tariffs to 15%
Bitcoin pulled back today after renewed macro pressure hit global markets. Despite the U.S. Supreme Court previously challenging tariff authority, former President Trump announced an increase in worldwide tariffs from 10% to 15%, shaking investor confidence across risk assets.
Initially, crypto showed resilience — but as traditional markets reacted, Bitcoin followed with a short-term dip. This highlights how closely digital assets are still tied to macroeconomic policy and global trade tensions.
Higher tariffs can strengthen the dollar in the short term and create risk-off sentiment, which often pressures assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. However, long-term investors continue to view BTC as a hedge against economic uncertainty and policy instability.
Key levels to watch:
• Immediate support zone where buyers previously stepped in
• Resistance near recent highs before the announcement
• Altcoin reaction — will they show relative strength or follow BTC lower?
Market volatility is increasing again, which means opportunity — but also risk. Smart traders focus on structure, liquidity zones, and risk management instead of emotional reactions.
Short-term dip or healthy reset before the next move? The next few sessions will be critical.
