Bitcoin breaks through $86K: some are betting against tariffs
By Davide Grammatica
In anticipation of “Liberation Day”, Bitcoin breaks through $86k, driven by those betting against Trump's tariff policy, but what are we risking?
A fundamental challenge for BTC
Trump’s announcement regarding the new trade tariffs is approaching and volatility on the crypto market is suddenly rising. Bitcoin breaks through $86k driven by investor bets, and is now in an area of key interest for long-term trends.
The US president’s press conference thus becomes even more decisive, with global markets as a whole giving intense responses in the short term, for better or for worse.
Among traders, there are those who see further bullish factors on the way, thanks in part to BTC which seems to be trying to emerge from a long bearish trend on daily timeframes.
At the same time, however, there is no shortage of warnings about a further decline, with $76k still in the spotlight as a case of a negative scenario. It is likely, in fact, that risky assets will be the first, in any case, to suffer the pressure of the announcement of the new tariffs.
Bitcoin risks ahead of duties
While Bitcoin has not yet shown a concrete change in trend, ETH maintains its support at $1,800, and so one cannot fail to take into account several signs of exhaustion, with many tokens having lost more than 30% in the last week.
The effective trend reversal will not happen, therefore, unless there is a radical change on the macro front, and at best there could only be a new solid bullish support. After all, news about the new 2025 tariffs has always caused downward reactions.
Among the most optimistic, on the other hand, is the curious position taken by the asset manager Swissblock, who has recently stated that he sees “no sign of an imminent collapse”.
