Today is Very Critical for Bitcoin! Will the Expected US Data Start the Rise? Analysis Company Announced!

US President Donald Trump announced bilateral tariffs on April 2, US Independence Day, imposing a minimum 10% tax on all imports into the country. While Bitcoin and altcoins rose rapidly before Trump's tariff announcement, BTC and altcoins also fell as global markets fell after the announcement of mutual tariffs. While all the gains in Bitcoin and altcoins since the beginning of the week were erased, BTC recovered above $83,000 on Friday, when critical US data was announced. “Markets wasted no time in reacting to Trump’s tariff announcement.

This trend underscores the prevailing mood: uncertain and cautious.” However, with positions currently thin and risk assets largely oversold, the stage could be set for a bounce in the short term.” *This is not investment advice.
