The recent escalation of tension between the United States and the European Union has once again shaken the markets. 💥💥💥
You know that this is one of those moments when volatility tests the markets; especially the cryptocurrency market 🔥🔥🔥
The announcement by President Trump to impose tariffs of 10% (which would rise to 25% in June) on several European countries —using them as bargaining chips in his renewed interest in Greenland— has generated a mixed and intense reaction:
1. Impact on the Crypto Market✅️
Although the crypto sector is often a refuge in times of distrust in the fiduciary system, the fear of a global trade war has caused:
Risk aversion (Risk-off): Many investors have exited volatile assets to take refuge in traditional values like gold and silver, which have recently reached historic highs ($4,620 and $88 respectively).
Tense stability: Bitcoin has remained close to $95,000, showing greater resistance than in previous crises, although altcoins have suffered sharper declines due to uncertainty about global liquidity.
2. The Dollar and Fed Factor✅️
Tariff threats have coincided with direct attacks on the independence of the Federal Reserve. This has weakened the dollar, which theoretically favors Bitcoin as "digital gold," but uncertainty about EU retaliation (which is already studying tariffs worth 93,000 million euros) keeps traders cautious.
3. The scenario for the disciplined investor
For those who follow a strategy based on discipline:✅️
Avoid panic: Weekend news tends to exaggerate opening movements.
Focus: The market is reacting to political rhetoric; however, institutional adoption of crypto continues its course.
The situation is fluid, and this week's Davos Forum will be key to see if there is a de-escalation or if we enter an open trade war.
