Renewed tariff threats have lifted risk-off sentiment, with BTC seeing a sharp pullback after a brief surge. Is the market pricing in escalating trade tensions, or just reacting emotionally? What’s your outlook?
#TariffTensionsHitCryptoMarket Hey everyone,
We've been seeing some serious turbulence in the crypto market again over the past few days.
Renewed tariff threats have triggered a clear risk-off mood, and Bitcoin pulled back sharply after a brief pump. Right now BTC is hovering in the $92,000–$93,000 range trying to find support, but the broader market is still under pressure. So the big question: Is the market actually pricing in escalating trade tensions, or is this just an emotional overreaction? Here's my take.
Let's start with what sparked this: Over the weekend, U.S. President Donald Trum

🔹The high tariffs that US President Donald Trump has implemented or threatened for 2025 and 2026, particularly the 100% threat against China, the 10-25% increases against European Union countries, and geopolitical tensions such as the Greenland dispute, created a significant risk-off wave in global financial markets. This situation affected the cryptocurrency market more severely than traditional stocks, leading to a rapid decline in Bitcoin from its all-time highs, deeper drops in Ethereum and other altcoins, the liquidation of billions of dollars in leveraged

#TariffTensionsHitCryptoMarket
In recent weeks, escalating tariff tensions, trade restrictions, and geopolitical economic pressure have become a major macro factor influencing global financial markets — and the crypto market is no exception. Below is a deep, point-by-point and expanded explanation of how current conditions are affecting cryptocurrencies and investor behavior.
1. Global Risk-Off Environment Intensifies
Whenever tariff tensions rise, markets enter a risk-off phase. Investors prioritize capital preservation over growth. As a result, high-volatility assets like cryptocurrencies f

#TariffTensionsHitCryptoMarket | When Global Trade Politics Test Bitcoin’s Narrative
Financial markets rarely react to a single headline — they react to what that headline represents. The recent pullback in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market is not merely a response to tariffs themselves, but to what renewed trade tensions signal about the global economic trajectory. As tariff rhetoric re-emerges between major economies, investors are once again forced to reassess risk, liquidity, and capital allocation — and crypto finds itself directly in that line of fire.

Global markets have entered a new phase of uncertainty as renewed U.S.–EU tariff tensions resurface under President Donald Trump—and the crypto market is reacting exactly as a high-risk asset class typically does during macro stress.
Over the weekend, President Trump announced plans to impose 10% tariffs starting February 1, with a potential escalation to 25% by June, on imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland, unless negotiations move forward on U.S. strategic interests related to Greenland.

#欧美关税风波冲击市场 The escalation of US-European trade frictions has triggered a significant pullback in the crypto market, with risk-averse sentiment intensifying. Currently, short-term volatility risks are prominent, but the market's long-term structure remains intact, emphasizing the importance of defensive positioning and rhythm control.
BTC and ETH technical indicators both broke below key support levels; on daily and hourly charts, RSI has entered oversold territory. A short-term rebound may occur, but the main trend remains uncertain.

⚠️ Tariffs, Tension & BTC: Signal or Sentiment? ⚠️
Renewed tariff threats have pushed markets back into risk-off mode, and Bitcoin’s price action tells the story:
📈 A fast surge… followed by
📉 A sharp pullback
So what’s really happening?
My take 👇
This move looks more emotional than structural — at least for now.
🔹 Short term:
Markets hate uncertainty. Trade tension headlines trigger algo selling and risk reduction across assets, including BTC. That’s reflex, not fundamentals.
🔹 Medium term:
If tariffs actually escalate and hit global liquidity, BTC may dec

After a 7% plunge: Is Bitcoin's $90,000 "stress test" shaking the foundation of the bull market?
As panic becomes the norm and support turns into resistance, we are witnessing an extreme stress test of the underlying logic of the crypto market.
In late January 2026, Bitcoin hovered around $93,041, dropping $2,232.8 within 24 hours, a 2.34% decline. Ethereum fell to $3,208.85, a single-day plunge of 3.47%. The DeFi leader UNI was even more brutal, priced at $4.995, down 6.28% intraday, breaking below the market average cost line.
This is not an isolated event. Trump’s announcement of tariffs on
