Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • Ether dropped over 6% to its lowest level since March 2023, trading at $1,432, while Bitcoin fell more than 3% before recovering slightly.
  • The selloff was triggered by President Trump’s insistence on 104% tariffs on Chinese goods, intensifying fears of a prolonged trade war.
  • Broader financial markets, including Asian stocks, also faced turmoil as investors reacted to the escalating U.S.-China tensions.
  • Traders are increasingly hedging against further downside in cryptocurrencies, with significant purchases of put options for Ether and Solana.

What Happened?

The cryptocurrency market faced renewed pressure as Ether, the second-largest digital asset, led a wave of selling, falling over 6% before stabilizing at $1,432. Bitcoin also dropped more than 3% amid heightened market uncertainty.

The selloff coincided with President Trump’s decision to push ahead with 104% tariffs on Chinese goods, dashing hopes of a resolution to the U.S.-China trade war. While Trump signaled openness to dealmaking with other nations, the escalation with China rattled global markets, including cryptocurrencies.

Traders responded by increasing downside protection, with a surge in put option purchases for Ether and Solana. Analysts noted that Bitcoin’s next key support level is around $65,000, reflecting cautious sentiment in the market.


Why It Matters?

The escalating trade war between the U.S. and China is adding to the volatility in financial markets, including cryptocurrencies, which are often seen as high-risk assets. Ether’s sharp decline highlights the fragility of the crypto market amid macroeconomic uncertainty.

The broader selloff in digital assets reflects waning investor confidence in a near-term recovery for cryptocurrencies, as geopolitical tensions and economic headwinds weigh on sentiment. The increased demand for put options suggests traders are bracing for further declines in the crypto market.


What’s Next?

The cryptocurrency market will remain sensitive to developments in the U.S.-China trade war and broader macroeconomic trends. Investors will closely watch for any signs of progress in trade negotiations, which could help stabilize markets.

For Ether and Bitcoin, key support levels will be critical in determining the direction of the market. Traders are likely to continue hedging against downside risks, while long-term investors may look for buying opportunities if prices stabilize.
