Cena TRUMP MAGA PRESIDENTTRUMP

The US stock market is still processing the latest events, as Trump’s tariff pause leads to recovery, while Bitcoin is back above $82,000. Major stock indices are is still recovering from the panic brought on by the escalating U.S. trade war. On April 11, the S&P 500 gained 43.75 points, up 0.83%, reaching 5,531. At the same time, the Nasdaq was at 16,555.96, up 168.65 points or 1.02%, while the Dow Jones was at 39,910, up 0.80% or 316.40 points. The relatively stronger performance of the tech-heavy Nasdaq suggests that investors are ready to take on more risk. For this reason, crypto prices have increased as well, with Bitcoin (BTC) up 4.47%, trading at $82,708. Ethereum (ETH) is also recovering, increasing 5.68% to $1,587.01. Still, lingering issues persist, and stocks corrected after the release of consumer sentiment figures. The University of Michigan survey puts consumer sentiment at 50.8 points compared to 57.0 in March. The figure was worse than the Dow Jones estimate of 54.6, down 34.2% year over year. According to the same survey, inflation fears are likely to blame for lower consumer confidence. Year-ahead inflation expectations rose to 6.7%, up from 5.0% the month prior. This uncertainty over inflation is making consumers more nervous about their finances. Lingering fears over inflation, trade, and a potential recession are also impacting the bond market. Yields on 10-year treasuries rose to 4.466% , indicating a lack of liquidity in the market. This is particularly the case for foreign holders, concerned over the political and economic uncertainty under Donald Trump’s administration. “There is real pressure across the globe to sell Treasuries and corporate bonds if you are a foreign holder. There is a real global concern that they don’t know where Trump is going.” said Peter Tchir, head of US macro strategy at Academy Securities. =

On April 2, President Trump announced aggressive tariffs, causing the S&P 500 to experience extreme volatility—surpassing even that of Bitcoin. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the "SPY US Equity Hist Vol" index hit 74, higher than Bitcoin’s 71, while the S&P 500’s long-term average volatility typically stays below 20. Although the stock market later recovered, Bitcoin and related ETFs continued to face capital outflows. Experts expect a more positive outlook from Q2 through the end of 2025, driven by national accumulation and the rise of asset tokenization.

Now might be a good time to start accumulating altcoins, some traders are saying. CryptoQuant shared a chart earlier today looking at altcoin trading volume (vs stablecoins), possibly showing the market entering a period well-suited for Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) plans. And according to analyst Darkfos, the 30-day moving average of altcoin prices has fallen below the annual average. This pattern was last observed in September 2023, before a large market rally. The technical indicator implies that altcoins are priced low compared to their longer trends, hinting at a potential entry spot for buyers. DCA involves investing set amounts regularly, whatever the price, often used to lessen risks from market swings. Such market periods can last weeks or months. However, this is all well and done, but the broader market context remains a complicated matter. Recent geopolitical tensions, mainly the trade war between the US and China adds a big level of uncertainty. That, and the tariffs Trump announced (then paused) on a huge number of other countries, have already hit the financial markets hard, crypto included. For instance, Bitcoin even dropped below $75k at one point, and the most well-known altcoin Ethereum is down 15% in the last seven days. As such, with so much uncertainty looming over, it’s hard to predict anything, and even harder to predict the impact of different news. Still, despite all the bad news lately, altcoins have been showing signs of resilience. Solana, for one, is doing relatively well, all things considered. Its integration into new platforms might be one reason for its steady showing lately. Then, contradictory to Ethereum’s performance and price, Odaily reports a substantial increase in stablecoin supply on the Ethereum mainnet since January 2021, rising from $22 billion to the current $123 billion. Other altcoins, like ADA, seem to be slowly rising and recovering, with a roughly 1% increase in the last 24 hours. It doesn’t sound like much but just several days ago its price was $0.51, and the current one is $0.63, which is approximately a 21% increase. All in all, while the current market is extremely unpredictable, some analysts remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of altcoins.

China will increase tariffs on U.S. imports to 125% starting April 12, 2025. The move follows the U.S. decision to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to the same rate. Beijing calls the U.S. action a violation of trade rules and economic norms. The State Council Tariff Commission announced the tariff hike today, April 11. The new rate will replace the previous 84% tariff set in March. The decision follows the U.S. government’s April 10 announcement to raise tariffs on Chinese exports to 125% under a “reciprocal tariff” plan. China’s new tariffs will apply to many imported goods from the United States. The commission said that U.S. products are not viable in the Chinese market at the current tariff level.

The new measures are based on China’s Tariff Law, Customs Law, and Foreign Trade Law, along with principles of international law. In addition to the tariff hike, the commission said all provisions outlined in its previous announcements will continue to apply. These earlier measures covered lists of affected products and tariff schedules. Meanwhile, China’s Finance Ministry condemned the latest U.S. actions. “Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of world economy,” the ministry said. However, if the U.S. insists on continuing to infringe on China’s interests substantially, China will resolutely counterattack and fight to the end,” the statement said. Earlier this month, the U.S. imposed a broad set of “reciprocal” tariffs. While many countries received a 90-day suspension of those tariffs, China was pointedly denied this delay. In a social media post, President Trump accused China of showing “a lack of respect” for global markets and announced an immediate hike to 125%. In Europe, German Finance Minister Joerg Kukies said the EU may consider its response if talks with the U.S. failed. He urged the EU to take a nuanced approach, noting Europe’s trade surplus in goods and deficit in services. He also called for strengthening Europe’s digital services to reduce reliance on U.S. providers. This rapid escalation in US-China trade friction immediately impacted cryptocurrency markets, creating significant volatility. Bitcoin, for instance, dropped below $74,000 before recovering to around $81,500. Around the same time, Ethereum traded lower, slipping over 2% in 24 hours to near $1,548.

Analysts attribute the decline to investor concerns over global economic slowdown and rising inflation driven by the tariff war. Although the immediate impact has been bearish, some market watchers suggest that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin could gain long-term appeal. They believe Bitcoin can serve as a hedge against economic instability, especially if geopolitical tensions persist.

You’ve just witnessed a major shift in the crypto landscape. President Trump signed a landmark bill that protects DeFi from aggressive IRS oversight. This isn’t just political theater—it’s fuel for the market. Specifically, the new legislation blocks the proposed DeFi Broker Rule, which would’ve required both custodial and non-custodial DeFi platforms to report detailed transaction data to the IRS. That rule would have slowed down innovation and compromised user privacy. Now, that’s off the table. This regulatory clarity is exactly what the DeFi sector needed—and the market responded. CRV, the native token of Curve DAO, surged 19% within a day, pushing monthly gains to 48%. You’re not the only one noticing. Traders have been piling in, and more importantly, holding. Over 1.15 million CRV—worth roughly $667,000—was pulled into private wallets.
