Bitcoin slips as Trump raises tariffs to 15%, but recovery is still possible

Bitcoin's price declined following former U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of an immediate 15% global tariff hike on February 21st. Although BTC briefly approached $68,000 around the time of the news, it soon retreated, along with Ethereum and broader altcoin markets. Analysts attribute the drop to a stronger U.S. dollar and shifting interest rate expectations, with crypto acting as a high-beta liquidity indicator. Market sentiment worsened, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index falling to "extreme fear" levels. However, historical analysis suggests a potential recovery. Economist Timothy Peterson noted that in similar past conditions, Bitcoin traded higher 88% of the time ten months later, with average returns of 82%. He projects a long-term price target of around $122,000, indicating that the current downturn may be a temporary panic rather than a lasting decline.

High-risk, no reward: Are memecoins failing to attract sidelined liquidity?

During a risk-off market, memecoins have historically attracted sidelined capital as a high-risk alternative. However, recent trends show a significant shift, with the memecoin market cap declining by nearly $10 billion in the last 30 days, mirroring the broader crypto market's $330 billion loss. Instead of rotating into memecoins, liquidity has moved out of crypto entirely, with investors seeking safer alternative assets to hedge against fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). The DOGE/BTC ratio, down 30% since October, illustrates fading speculative demand for Dogecoin and memecoins broadly. Recent launches like TRUMP and MELANIA coins have further shaken confidence, collapsing 92% and 99% from their all-time highs. Insiders reportedly extracted over $600 million, leaving retail investors with over $4.3 billion in losses and $2.7 billion in locked tokens until 2028. This has eroded trust and disrupted the typical high-beta dynamics of memecoins, indicating a potential structural shift in risk appetite rather than a temporary cooldown.

Welcoming the God of Wealth on the Fifth Day of Lunar New Year, Trump Overturns the Altar: Imposes 10% Global Tariffs in Defiance of Supreme Court

On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, a day traditionally associated with welcoming the god of wealth, former U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines by defying a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated his global tariff policies enacted under national emergency laws. In response, Trump immediately invoked alternative trade authority to impose an additional 10% global tariff, declaring existing national security tariffs effective immediately without seeking further congressional approval. He publicly criticized the justices who ruled against him. Meanwhile, a viral story about Punch, a baby monkey in a Japanese zoo abandoned at birth and raised by handlers, sparked widespread sympathy online. Footage of the monkey being dragged by an adult during social integration efforts led to a surge in the related meme cryptocurrency PUNCH, which saw an 80-fold increase in value. In cryptocurrency circles, predictions circulated that Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2026, though opinions were divided on the feasibility. Some commentators expressed concerns about the crypto market’s health, suggesting it had “halved” in vitality, while others remained optimistic about future growth. Additionally, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin criticized the concept of “Web4.0,” arguing that it promotes the creation of valueless digital clutter rather than meaningful innovation. The response from the community was mixed, with some supporting his skepticism and others defending technological progress.

Supreme Court 'Hits the Brakes', Trump 'Hits the Gas': Tariff Battle Reignites!

The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on February 20 that the Trump administration lacked legal authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad tariffs. In response, former President Trump announced a new 10% global tariff using alternative legal authority, aiming to maintain similar tariff levels. The court’s decision challenges the legal foundation of Trump’s tariff framework and may lead to large-scale refunds and further legal battles. Market reactions were initially positive but tempered as policy uncertainty persisted. The ruling highlights ongoing tensions between presidential power and trade policy, with economic and political implications for U.S. trade strategy and revenue policy.

Wall Street Elites and Government Officials Gather at Mar-a-Lago, Trump Family's WFLI Acts as Crypto Lobbyist

Wall Street executives and U.S. government officials gathered at Mar-a-Lago for an event hosted by World Liberty Financial (WFLI), a cryptocurrency platform backed by former President Donald Trump's sons. The event highlighted a significant shift in Wall Street’s stance toward cryptocurrencies, with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon acknowledging he holds a small amount of Bitcoin. Attendees included Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, NYSE and Nasdaq leaders, and current and former regulators. WFLI has rapidly expanded despite the crypto market downturn, launching a stablecoin, USD1, which it promotes as a "better dollar." The company received a $500 million investment from an Abu Dhabi-linked entity, drawing scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers. Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Jr., framed their involvement as a response to being excluded from traditional banking after the January 6 Capitol riot. They argue that WFLI modernizes finance and protects dollar dominance. The event underscored the merging of political influence and business interests, with Trump’s crypto ventures reportedly adding over $1 billion to the family’s wealth in 2025. Regulatory officials attended, raising questions about conflicts of interest, though the White House stated President Trump has no involvement.

‘Win-win-win’: Coinbase CEO backs April deadline for CLARITY Act

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Senator Bernie Moreno are pushing for the stalled CLARITY Act to pass by April 2026, framing it as a "win-win-win" for the crypto industry, traditional banks, and American consumers. The main dispute centers on whether stablecoins should offer rewards, which banks opposing due to fears of deposit outflows. Armstrong, who had previously withdrawn support over regulatory concerns, now believes a compromise is achievable. Political timing is critical, with Moreno aiming to pass the bill before the 2026 midterms slow progress. Polymarket odds for passage have surged to 90%, indicating growing optimism. The effort is positioned as part of a broader push to advance crypto policy under the Trump administration.

Mar-a-Lago Secret Meeting: What Are They Plotting?

A private forum was held at Mar-a-Lago, hosted by the Trump family's DeFi project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Attendees included top Wall Street executives (Goldman Sachs CEO, Nasdaq Chair), crypto leaders (Coinbase founder), regulators (CFTC Chair), and celebrities.

Critics raised concerns over ethical conflicts and potential foreign influence, citing a $500M investment linked to Abu Dhabi. WLFI token has fallen 69% from its peak, with 80% of tokens still locked. The event highlights the merging of political influence, finance, and crypto under the Trump brand.

Can TRUMP break KEY resistance after $31.45M token transfer to BitGo?

The Official Trump (TRUMP) team transferred 9.089 million tokens ($31.45M) to BitGo, sparking market attention amid a 4.67% price rebound to $3.51. The move may indicate treasury restructuring rather than immediate selling. TRUMP remains in a long-term descending channel, with key support at $3.18 and resistance at $4.27. A break above $4.27 could challenge the bearish structure, while a drop below support may accelerate declines. RSI rebounded from near-oversold levels, suggesting early buyer re-entry but not yet a confirmed reversal. Exchange netflows show mild outflows, indicating calmer positioning, while Open Interest rose 6.10% to $109.41M, signaling increased leveraged positions and potential volatility ahead. The token's next move depends on whether buyers can reclaim key resistance or if sellers break support.

OBV rises, price falls: Why TRUMP’s ‘buy’ signals may be misleading

Trump's TRUMP memecoin, down 95.4% from its all-time high, recently bounced to $3.64 but has since declined 7.14% to $3.38. Despite a rising On-Balance Volume (OBV) on the hourly chart, the overall trend remains bearish. The token faced rejection at the $3.57–$4.09 supply zone, with further downside expected toward $3.07. Additional selling pressure may come from a 6.33 token unlock and negative news surrounding Trump-backed World Liberty Financial. The RSI dropping below 50 confirms weakening momentum. Traders are advised to ignore short-term OBV strength and expect continued declines.
