Will Bitcoin Price Surge Despite Trump’s Tariffs?

According to the analysis of Matrixport, a prominent financial services platform, Bitcoin is poised for a significant surge as the market remains resilient to Donald Trump’s tariff announcement. As traders remain less concerned about the potential impact of the tariff on the Bitcoin price, BTC remains largely unaffected by the development.

Currently, the Bitcoin price is caught below the $90k range, the key resistance zone. Despite a positive sentiment, the buying interest remains relatively weak. While the crypto hit an all-time high of $108k in January 2025, it has been trading in a consolidation range of $84,000-$86,000 over the past few days.

However, experts argue that the tariffs could potentially lead to Bitcoin’s surge, bolstering the crypto’s long-term appeal as a safe haven.

Trump Tariffs: Varied Market Reactions

Interestingly, Trump’s tariff has sparked widespread reactions, ranging from dismay to calls for further negotiations. As pointed out by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, these tariffs could be the opening move in a months-long trade negotiation process.

It is noteworthy that Bitcoin is stuck below the critical $90k level, marking weak buying interest. The hedge funds are no longer experiencing an aggressive sell-off, evidenced by compressed basis and funding rates, along with a significant unwind in CME Bitcoin futures.

Recently, Matrixport reported that the Bitcoin price may follow the stock market trends following Trump’s tariff announcements. Though Bitcoin remained resilient to the equity market’s recent downturn, experts highlight the correlation between BTC and traditional financial assets.

Despite these predictions, Bitcoin remained stable following Trump’s tariffs. The stock market saw its largest collapse since 2020, erasing a total of $2.85 trillion. The NASDAQ also plummeted by 5.5%. Amidst the chaos, Bitcoin closed the day in the green.
