BTC/USD

The profit-taking comes after a day of political surprises from Donald Trump. The U.S. President shook markets by announcing a substantial reduction in tariffs on China and dismissing rumors about firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. These signs of political moderation were well-received by investors, sparking a rebound in risk assets—including cryptocurrencies.

Market Outlook

Bitcoin is approaching the $94,000 mark, buoyed by a potent mix of macroeconomic and geopolitical drivers. Trump’s statements add to an ongoing reshuffling of global investment portfolios. The narrative of BTC as a store of value is gaining momentum, especially as capital flows shift away from dollar-denominated assets and toward gold and digital currencies.

At the same time, institutional confidence is further fueling market momentum. A $3 billion investment consortium—led by Brandon Lutnick in partnership with SoftBank, Tether, and the CEX exchange—was just announced as a new vehicle for digital asset investment. In the past 24 hours alone, Bitcoin saw net inflows of $400 million, underscoring the rising appetite for this asset class.

While the market pauses following its initial surge, the backdrop of increasing institutional legitimization and moderated political signals could be laying the groundwork for a new phase of sustained growth in the crypto ecosystem.
