The terrifying scene at the start of 2025: Trump's trade policies hit hard, turning the global markets upside down.
First, his statement "I like tariffs" triggered a market explosion, with the S&P 500 plunging 15% in the week of implementation. Wall Street was thrown into chaos—until a rebound struck, and the index stubbornly broke through the 7000 mark. The speed of this reversal caught both bulls and bears off guard.
Even more heartbreaking was the performance of the US dollar. Once considered a safe haven, the dollar collapsed by 12%, marking the worst start in 50 years. The market logic was clear: inflation failed to save the dollar; instead, risk assets drained liquidity. US stocks were bleeding, and the dollar was drained dry.
Under the dual pressure of debt stress and trade war flames, the Federal Reserve made an unprecedented three consecutive rate cuts to stem the bleeding. Its independence was questioned, yet it continued steadfastly—behind this was a game of political and market forces. Coupled with the undercurrent of an AI bubble, the entire financial ecosystem was violently oscillating amid this liquidity feast and uncertainty.

The metaphor of the dollar being drained is spot on; this is what it feels like when the Federal Reserve is held back.

The US dollar is really weak, the worst start in 50 years... it was directly drained by the US stock market, this move is absolutely brilliant.

The dollar has collapsed, and you're still talking about safe haven? Laughable. This is the hypocrisy of traditional finance.

The dollar has really pulled back, even with the worst start in 50 years, and they still dare to ask for more? This move by the Federal Reserve is truly being played out, who are they showing rate cuts to?

Oh my, this wave of dollar plunge is truly incredible. The worst start in 50 years...

Once tariffs were announced, the market went crazy. Both bulls and bears were caught off guard. The speed of this reversal is so fast that it's hard to react.
---
The Federal Reserve has cut rates three times in a row just to stop the bleeding. Its independence has long been a thing of the past, right?
---
The US stock market is draining the dollar, and when risk assets are booming, fiat currency really has no prospects.
---
The AI bubble is brewing beneath the surface. It feels like there will be big moves ahead.
---
Honestly, starting the year so competitive, how will it play out later? It all depends on policy decisions.

Trump's statement "I like tariffs" could really trigger a market explosion. It's too outrageous.

During the liquidity feast, the crypto world should have opportunities, but the uncertainty is also quite frightening.
