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 Additionally, 36,800 BTC were withdrawn from exchanges, reducing liquidity and tightening supply.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.

Fed Chair Race Takes Sudden Turn: Hassett Hints at Exit, Warsh's Odds Surge

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett indicated that President Trump is likely to keep him in his current role, effectively removing him from contention for the next Federal Reserve Chair. This development has shifted the odds in the race to succeed current Chair Jerome Powell, with former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh now emerging as the clear favorite. Prediction markets show Warsh’s probability rising to 60%, while Hassett and Fed Governor Christopher Waller have fallen to around 15%. Another candidate, Rick Rieder of BlackRock, is also in consideration, with some supporters believing he may have a smoother path to Senate confirmation. The selection process, led by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, has gained additional complexity due to a Justice Department investigation into the Fed’s headquarters renovation. Powell has accused the DOJ of using the probe to pressure the central bank for rate cuts, raising concerns about political interference in Fed independence. Despite the controversy, Mnuchin expressed confidence that the Senate would confirm any of the four candidates under consideration. Powell’s term ends on May 15, and Trump has said he will announce his nominee this month.

"Black Monday" Strikes Again, Trump Becomes the "Flash Crash Engine" Once More?

The cryptocurrency market experienced a sharp decline on Monday, with Bitcoin dropping below $92,000, Ethereum falling under $3,200, and Solana retreating to around $133. Over $593 million was liquidated in four hours, predominantly long positions. The primary trigger appears to be political and economic uncertainty stemming from former President Trump's actions. Key factors include a sudden shift in the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair. Kevin Hassett, a perceived dove, appears to be out of contention, while the odds for the more hawkish Kevin Warsh have surged to 60%. This potential change in leadership at the Fed has created market volatility. Furthermore, Trump's aggressive trade policies are causing global economic tensions. He has threatened to impose tariffs of up to 25% on imports from several European nations, including Denmark, France, and Germany, linked to a dispute over Greenland. This has prompted threats of retaliatory tariffs from the EU. Trump also criticized the EU for its hefty fines on U.S. tech firms, calling them discriminatory. Adding to the market's woes, the U.S. Senate delayed a crucial crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, due to significant disagreements over stablecoin yields and DeFi regulations. This regulatory uncertainty contributed to the sell-off. In response to these combined macro pressures and after a recent price run-up, many traders are choosing to take profits and increase their cash holdings, expecting the market correction to continue in the short term.

Scoop: White House Rift With Coinbase Puts Crypto Clarity Act On Shaky Ground

The White House is reportedly considering withdrawing its support for the Crypto Clarity Act due to a growing rift with Coinbase. The legislation aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, defining oversight and operational rules for crypto companies. The dispute centers on stablecoin yield provisions and finding a compromise that satisfies both crypto firms and traditional banks, particularly community banks. Sources claim the White House was caught off guard by what it characterizes as a unilateral move by Coinbase, akin to a "rug pull," and officials have pushed back against the idea that a single company can speak for the entire industry. They emphasized the bill reflects President Trump's policy agenda. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly denied the relationship has soured, stating negotiations with the administration have been constructive and that the company is actively working to find common ground with banks on yield-related issues. Despite this, the standoff places the future of the crucial legislation on shaky ground as both sides attempt to shape crypto regulation without fracturing industry support.

Trump’s Emergency Energy Strategy Signals a Turning Point for Bitcoin Miners

Former President Trump's proposed emergency energy strategy aims to address rising U.S. electricity prices by having large companies, particularly AI data centers, fund new power plants through 15-year contracts. This could unlock $15 billion in new power generation, increasing supply and stabilizing costs. For Bitcoin miners, who rely on cheap electricity, this offers potential relief from current pressures where high energy prices and competition from AI firms are forcing many to transition to AI-related work. If implemented, the plan may slow this shift by making mining more economically viable again, though benefits would take years to materialize. The proposal ultimately shifts power expansion costs to tech giants, potentially helping miners remain competitive in the long term.

Democrats voice crypto ‘pay to play’ concerns citing Justin Sun

Democrats, including Maxine Waters, Sean Casten, and Brad Sherman, are pressuring the SEC to resume enforcement action against Tron founder Justin Sun. They allege the SEC's pause on his case is linked to a "pay-to-play" scheme, citing Sun's $75 million investment in a Trump family-backed crypto venture and subsequent case stay. The lawmakers also claim political interference influenced dropped cases against major crypto firms like Coinbase and Ripple, arguing these actions leave investors unprotected. Despite the allegations, Tron's price showed no immediate impact, aligning with broader market trends.

House Democrats Push SEC Chair To Resume Crypto Enforcement Actions

House Democrats, including Representatives Maxine Waters, Sean Casten, and Brad Sherman, are urging SEC Chair Paul Atkins to resume enforcement actions against crypto firms. They expressed concern over the SEC's dismissal of over a dozen crypto-related cases since January 2025, including those against Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. The lawmakers allege the SEC's pullback, amid the industry's "troubling history of harming investors," raises serious questions about its priorities and effectiveness. They also pointed to unprecedented lobbying and contributions from the crypto sector to political figures like former President Trump, suggesting a possible "pay-to-play" dynamic. The Democrats warn that this lack of enforcement leaves investors vulnerable and fails to protect them from market violations.
