Well, well, well! On the fine day of April 9, Wall Street decided to shake off its gloomy disposition like a dog shedding water after a bath, all thanks to our dear President Donald Trump, who announced a 90-day timeout on those pesky tariffs. And lo and behold, Bitcoin, that digital rascal, leapt over the $82,000 mark at precisely 1:50 p.m. Eastern Time, as if it had just spotted a juicy steak! š„©
Trumpās Temporary Tariff Freeze: A Blessing for Wall Street and Crypto
The S&P 500, that old reliable, jumped over 7.6%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 6.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite soared by a staggering 9.5%, finally putting an end to a four-day-long losing streak that felt longer than a summer in the Mississippi heat. And Bitcoin? Oh, it reacted like a cat to a laser pointer, rising to $82,466 before deciding to take a little breather. Bitcoin ( BTC) is nothing if not dramatic!
āI have authorized a 90-day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately,ā Trump posted on Truth Social, as if he were announcing the start of a new season of a reality show. š
Now, letās not forget that the markets had been under more pressure than a soda can at a picnic for five straight days, all due to investor jitters over the sweeping reciprocal tariffs Trump introduced on April 2. Those tariffs were aimed at countries like China, the European Union, and Japanātalk about a global game of whack-a-mole!
Bitcoin, which had taken a nosedive to $74,500 earlier this week, has proven to be as sensitive to global policy shifts as a cat to a vacuum cleaner. Traders are using it as a barometer for geopolitical sentiment, and despite the recent dip, it has shown a remarkable ability to hold its ground, falling far less than many a doomsayer had predicted. š±āš¤
While the markets are throwing a little party for the pause, everyone knows that volatility could still be lurking around the corner like a raccoon in a trash can. Trumpās 90-day suspension is but a temporary reprieve, and the future of global trade policy remains as uncertain as a catās next move. š¾
