Bitcoin and altcoins rally as Trump signals tariff pause, easing EU–US tensions

US President Donald Trump's announcement to pause new tariffs following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte eased geopolitical tensions and triggered a rally across cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin recovered from recent weakness as risk sentiment improved, with its market capitalization reaching approximately $1.79 trillion. Altcoins, including Ethereum and Layer-1 tokens like Solana and XRP, outperformed Bitcoin, indicating renewed appetite for higher-risk assets. The broad-based gains reflected a market-wide "risk-on" response rather than a crypto-specific catalyst. The move underscores cryptocurrencies' continued sensitivity to macro developments and global trade tensions, with reduced uncertainty driving short-term price action.

What happened in crypto today? Market crash, U.S. Equities Streams, and more

Crypto markets experienced a significant downturn amid global tensions and new policy concerns. Bitcoin fell below $90K, and Ethereum dropped under $3K, with other major altcoins like Solana and XRP also declining. The sell-off was partly triggered by U.S. tariff threats, which raised fears of trade-driven inflation. In product news, Chainlink launched its 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams, providing real-time stock and ETF pricing on over 40 blockchains. This aims to support DeFi applications like perpetuals and prediction markets by offering continuous, verified data outside traditional trading hours. Several protocols, including BitMEX and ApeX, have already integrated the solution. Additionally, Solana Mobile announced an SRK token airdrop for users of its Seeker device.

US Wall Street Indexes Plunge, Triggers Crypto Market Decline as BTC Leads

US stock markets experienced their largest single-day decline in three months, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq falling 1.76%, 2.06%, and 2.39% respectively. This triggered a significant drop in the cryptocurrency market, led by Bitcoin falling below $90,000 to $89,816.09. Ethereum also declined, dropping below $3,000. The market downturn is attributed to two main factors: the unlikely prospect of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut and newly imposed US tariffs on several European nations, including Greenland. These developments have increased market volatility and raised concerns about further economic tension between the US and Europe. The overall crypto market cap declined by 3.23%, with meme coins also affected. Market analysts expect continued volatility if these conditions persist.

Bitcoin price nears 60-day consolidation mark – Is $107K jump imminent?

Bitcoin has consolidated above $80,000 for nearly 60 days, a pattern that historically triggered breakouts. Analysts suggest this could lead to a significant upward move, with one trader targeting $107,000. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index also shows a bullish crossover, supporting a potential rally. However, new tariffs on some E.U. countries introduce macroeconomic uncertainty that may affect the outcome. Despite a recent correction from $98,000 to around $90,000, momentum remains in consolidation rather than a negative trend. Key liquidity levels are noted between $86.2k–$89.1k, with an upside target of $93.4k. The overall outlook is cautiously optimistic but dependent on external factors.

U.S. Stocks, Bonds, and Currency Plummet! Danish Pension Fund "Dumps U.S. Assets," Gold Soars

A major financial shock hit US markets on January 20, with stocks, bonds, and the dollar all falling sharply. The Dow dropped 1.76%, the S&P 500 fell 2.06%, and the Nasdaq declined 2.39%. The 10-year Treasury yield surged to 4.3%, and the dollar index fell below 99. European markets also fell, and even Bitcoin dropped below $90,000. The turmoil was triggered by geopolitical tensions after former President Trump expressed interest in acquiring Greenland and threatened tariffs on European countries that opposed the move. In response, the EU considered retaliatory tariffs on $93 billion of US goods. In a significant move, Danish pension fund AkademikerPension announced it would sell all its US Treasury holdings—around $100 million—citing unsustainable US fiscal policies and Trump’s threats toward Greenland. Other Danish pension funds also reduced exposure to US assets. As investors fled dollar assets, gold soared to a record high above $4,800 per ounce, while silver also surged. In contrast, cryptocurrencies fell sharply. Central banks, including Poland’s, are increasing gold reserves as a hedge against uncertainty. Ray Dalio of Bridgewater warned that Trump’s policies are sparking a "capital war," undermining confidence in the dollar’s role as the global reserve currency. Goldman Sachs noted that recent US actions have damaged the perceived safety and predictability of US assets.

Ethereum’s key indicator shifts to ‘predominance’- Is an ETH rally incoming?

Ethereum is showing signs of potential market leadership, with a key indicator shifting to 'predominance,' suggesting a possible rally similar to Q2 2025. Record staking levels, reaching 47% of ETH's supply, indicate strong institutional demand for yield, reducing liquid supply and limiting sell pressure. Major players like BitMEx have staked significant amounts, and U.S. spot ETH ETFs' potential staking integration could further boost momentum. However, recent tariff tensions and risk-off sentiment have dampened market optimism, reversing gains and keeping ETH below a key resistance level. While the setup favors a bullish move, macro risks may delay a sustained recovery above $3.3k in the short term.

Why is crypto down today? Tariff jitters, seller dominance explained

The cryptocurrency market experienced a decline, with total capitalization dropping 1.97% to $3.05 trillion. Bitcoin fell below $94.5k, triggering market-wide sell-offs. The downturn was largely attributed to risk-off sentiment driven by U.S. President Donald Trump's signals of potential tariff actions against Europe, which also negatively impacted U.S. stock futures. Over $700 million in positions were liquidated on January 19th. While institutional demand remains strong—with companies like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet increasing Bitcoin holdings—it hasn't been sufficient to counter selling pressure. Analysts noted that sellers have regained dominance in derivatives markets, with the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio indicating a seller-controlled regime. Further downside is possible in the near term as bearish sentiment persists.

Stocks and Dollar Feel the Blow Along with the Global Crypto Market

The US dollar and global stocks have declined, diverting attention to the Greenland meeting. The crypto market also experienced a downturn, with its total market cap falling 2.24% and nearing the $3 trillion mark. Major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH dropped over 2% and 3.5%, testing key resistance levels at $90k and $3k respectively. The decline is partly attributed to Trump's announced tariffs on EU nations and international trade uncertainty, triggering a "Sell America" sentiment. Investors are seeking safety in gold and silver. A meeting in Davos is anticipated to address these tensions, as Trump's proposed tariffs, including rates up to 200% on French wines, are scheduled to take effect in 2026.

Evaluating the $8 trillion risk – Why Bitcoin price is no longer a ‘safe haven’

Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline, briefly nearing $92,000, following former U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose new tariffs on eight European countries. The initial 10% tariff, set for February 1, could rise to 25% by June if negotiations fail. Trump administration explicitly linked the tariffs to the potential purchase of Greenland. With U.S. markets closed for a holiday, global markets absorbed the shock: S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures fell, Asian and European indices dipped, and the dollar weakened against safe-haven currencies like the yen and Swiss franc. Gold and silver surged to record highs, while oil prices dropped on growth concerns. Bitcoin later recovered some losses due to bargain buying. The situation remains tense as European investors hold approximately $8 trillion in U.S. assets, and any capital flow shifts could significantly impact markets. Key events to watch include economic data from China, Bank of Japan policy decisions, U.S. economic indicators influencing the Fed, and geopolitical discussions at the upcoming Davos meeting.
