Uncertainty over Trump tariffs causes Bitcoin to slide

Earlier this week, both stock and crypto markets were going through a euphoric phase when a US judge ruled that the global ‘Trump tariffs’ (which he had implemented on Liberation Day in early April) were deemed illegal under US law. However, Trump’s team responded very quickly and appealed the ruling . Two days later, the ban was overturned, sending markets and Bitcoin back down.

The largest digital currency now continues to struggle to break its ATH of $111,000. Will we soon be trading back under $100k?

ATH

Investors were hoping for a continuation of Bitcoin price growth but were stopped by a court ruling in the United States. On Thursday, the ruling stated that the so-called ‘Trump tariffs’ were legally valid.

As a result, Bitcoin quickly fell 3% and was unable to recover on Friday.

Analysts now fear that Bitcoin investors will choose to cash in their profits in the following days. If we were to do that and fall back below $100k, a psychologically important level, we would be back at the 50-day mark and buyers would likely emerge again.

The start of a new month could also be important for the price as many investors will want to take profits now that summer is approaching.

I expect a sideways week personally without clear direction. We will see who’s right.
