Trump’s tariff shock sends Bitcoin reeling – Can BTC’s support hold?

Former President Trump's announcement of new 10% tariffs on European allies triggered a sharp crypto market sell-off, with over $4 billion in Bitcoin liquidated in one hour. BTC dropped 2.26% to test the $93,000 support level, while altcoins like ETH, XRP, and SOL fell more sharply. Despite the sell-off, technical indicators suggest the drop is a correction within a bull market, not a trend reversal. Market sentiment remains neutral, with the Fear and Greed Index at 45. A break below $93,000 could lead to a test of the $87,000 liquidity zone.

Crypto markets slide as Bitcoin dips below $93K amid liquidations and tariff-driven uncertainty

Crypto markets declined as Bitcoin fell below $93K, triggering over $602 million in long liquidations. Major tokens like Ethereum and Solana also dropped 2-3%, with total market cap down over 2% to $3.14T. Thin holiday liquidity in the U.S. and macro uncertainty—driven by tariff rhetoric and geopolitical tensions—amplified the sell-off. Market sentiment turned neutral (Fear & Greed Index at 45), but Bitcoin remains above key long-term supports. The pullback appears driven by leverage unwinds and external risk factors rather than fundamental weakness.

Tariff Threat Shocks Market: Trump's Post Triggers Bitcoin Safe-Haven Sell-off

Cryptocurrency markets experienced a sharp sell-off on the morning of January 19, with Bitcoin dropping from $95,531 to a low of $91,910. Ethereum and Solana also saw significant declines, along with several altcoins falling over 10%. The sell-off resulted in $830 million in liquidations over 12 hours, predominantly long positions. The downturn was triggered by former U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on Truth Social that the U.S. would impose tariffs—starting at 10% on February 1 and rising to 25% by June—on imports from eight European countries, including Denmark, Germany, and the UK. The move is tied to Trump’s demand for a “complete and total purchase of Greenland,” citing unspecified security concerns. European leaders strongly opposed the tariffs, warning of strained transatlantic relations and potential benefits to geopolitical rivals like China and Russia. Meanwhile, traditional safe-haven assets like gold and silver surged to record highs amid the geopolitical tension and market uncertainty. With a 96% probability that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady, risk assets faced additional pressure. Market analysts suggested that investors take profits and await clearer signals, though some remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term potential, citing macroeconomic trends and increasing demand.

Crypto Investments Hit Record Highs: $2.17 Billion Inflows Signal Bullish Revival, but Tariff Clouds Loom

Crypto investment funds recorded a massive $2.17 billion in inflows last week, the largest weekly total since October 2025, signaling a bullish revival. Bitcoin led with $1.55 billion, followed by Ethereum at $496 million. Altcoins also saw broad interest, with XRP attracting $69.5 million and Solana $45.5 million. The U.S. dominated inflows with $2.05 billion, though a late-week reversal on Friday resulted in $378 million in outflows due to rising geopolitical tensions and tariff threats. Despite the strong institutional demand, the market remains sensitive to macro-economic and political developments.

Crypto Analyst Points to the Bloody Monday Factor After Crypto Market Slips

A crypto analyst has attributed the recent market downturn to "Bloody Monday," noting that nearly $100 billion was wiped out in 12 hours. The global crypto market cap fell 2.82% to around $3.13 trillion, with BTC and ETH declining 2.33% and 3.01%, respectively. Key factors include US tariff threats against several European nations and a shift in investor sentiment toward gold and silver amid trade tensions. Other global markets, including European and Japanese indices, also saw declines.

Bitcoin Drops to $91K as EU–US Tariff Tensions Trigger Crypto Crash

The European Union announced plans to retaliate against the U.S. in response to new tariffs imposed by President Trump, triggering a significant cryptocurrency market crash. Bitcoin dropped from approximately $95,000 to $91,000 in early Monday trading, erasing recent gains and leading to over $850 million in liquidations. The overall crypto market cap fell by 3%, with altcoins following Bitcoin’s decline. The market has lost over $110 billion since mid-January. Trump’s tariff announcement, which includes a 10% levy on goods from major EU countries starting February 1 and a potential increase to 25% by June 1 if a deal on Greenland is not reached, was met with threats of retaliation from the EU. The legality of the tariffs is still under review by the U.S. Supreme Court, adding to market uncertainty.

US-EU Tariff War Wipes Billions — Start of Crypto Winter 2026?

In mid-January 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on eight European nations, starting at 10% and potentially rising to 25% by June unless Denmark negotiates the sale of Greenland. This triggered a sharp crypto market sell-off, wiping billions in value. Bitcoin fell from near $97,000 to below $93,000, while altcoins saw deeper losses of 9–20%. Over $871 million in leveraged positions were liquidated. Analysts are divided on whether this marks the start of a prolonged "crypto winter" or is a temporary macro shock. Some point to historical post-halving weakness and fading institutional optimism, suggesting Bitcoin could drop to $67,000–$75,000. Others argue growing institutional adoption and Bitcoin’s "digital gold" role may cushion a deeper downturn. The event highlighted crypto’s sensitivity to geopolitical risk and leveraged market fragility. Recovery remains uncertain as trade tensions and regulatory delays persist.

Breaking down Bitcoin’s volatility after Trump’s 25% tariff announcement

Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on EU countries on January 17th did not significantly impact Bitcoin, which remained stable despite market volatility. Key factors supporting this stability include substantial ETF inflows, with $1.48 billion added over the week and 1,474 BTC in a single day, signaling institutional confidence. Additionally, 36,800 BTC were withdrawn from exchanges, reducing liquidity and tightening supply. Although past trade wars caused Bitcoin declines, its 24/7 trading and limited supply helped it maintain resilience. After initial price swings—dropping 3% to $92.4K after panic selling—Bitcoin demonstrated its potential as a safe-haven asset amid geopolitical tensions.

Trading Moment: U.S. Stocks Closed, Gold and Silver Hit New Highs Again, Bitcoin Finds Support at 92K

Key market movements and analysis for January 19th, as global markets reacted to geopolitical tensions. Due to the U.S. Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, focus shifted to President Trump's announcement of new tariffs on eight European nations, aiming to pressure a Greenland acquisition. This sparked fears of a renewed trade war, driving a sharp risk-off sentiment. Consequently, a safe-haven rally propelled spot gold to a record high above $4,690 and silver surged over 4% to a new peak near $94. Bitcoin, after facing rejection near $98,000, declined for five consecutive days, briefly dipping below the $92,000 support level. Analysts are divided: some foresee a potential drop to $85,000 or even $77,000, which could trigger massive liquidations, while others see the $92,200 area forming a higher low, maintaining a bullish structure for a potential run toward $100,000 if key support holds. Ethereum mirrored the downturn, falling below $3,200. Technical analysis suggests it's at a triangle pattern's end, needing to hold $3,085 support for a potential breakout toward $3,660. While long-term forecasts remain optimistic (e.g., $15,000 by 2026), short-term derivative markets show a lack of bullish momentum. Market data shows a neutral Fear & Greed Index of 49. Over $809 million was liquidated in 24 hours, affecting 215,000 traders. Crypto ETFs saw significant inflows last week: Bitcoin ETF +$1.42B, Ethereum ETF +$479M. Looking ahead, key events include the U.S. Senate's upcoming vote on a crypto market structure bill, major token unlocks (e.g., LayerZero's $44.5M unlock), and the release of U.S. Q4 GDP data.

Complete Analysis of Trump's Tariff "Playbook": A Practical Operation Guide

Former President Trump has announced new tariffs targeting multiple European nations, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland, starting at 10% on February 1 and escalating to 25% by June 1. These measures are tied explicitly to his strategic objective of acquiring Greenland, which he insists must be a "complete and comprehensive purchase." This follows a recurring pattern in Trump’s trade strategy: using high-stakes tariff threats as a negotiation tool, often announced over weekends when markets are closed to maximize psychological impact. The approach typically triggers an initial wave of market volatility and emotional selling, followed by a rebound as investors anticipate negotiated resolutions before tariffs take effect. The Kobeissi Letter outlines a consistent tactical playbook observed since early 2025: tariff threats are introduced, markets react negatively, buying opportunities emerge mid-week, and eventual deal announcements drive market rallies. While the Greenland demand is notably more ambitious than previous objectives—such as persuading China to drop export controls—the expected market response and negotiation timeline are projected to follow a similar cyclical pattern. Ultimately, the strategy leverages volatility as an opportunity, with disciplined traders capitalizing on predictable fluctuations tied to trade war headlines.
