In a period of many geopolitical fluctuations like this, gold is always the best hedge asset. I always hold both BTC and gold in my asset portfolio.

$BTC EXPOSED: TRUMP’S TARIFF PLAYBOOK JUST HIT MARKETS — AND IT’S ALL PSYCHOLOGY 🚨

This wasn’t random. It wasn’t chaos. And it definitely wasn’t about economics first.

Every major tariff move under President Trump follows the same exact script — and markets just lived through Phase 1 again.

Here’s the pattern:

First comes the strategic announcement — late Friday or over the weekend. Markets are closed, fear spreads unchecked, and positioning can’t adjust in real time. Then tariffs are staggered, not final. A smaller number now, a bigger threat later. Shock first. Negotiation window second.

When markets reopen, funds don’t think — they react. Margin hikes. Volatility models trigger. Risk parity cuts exposure. Leverage collapses. Liquidity vanishes. That’s why moves are violent, mechanical, and fast.

And crypto? Bitcoin always gets hit hardest. Not as digital gold — but as high-beta risk with 24/7 trading and leverage. BTC becomes the global pressure valve.

Then comes Phase 2: calming words. “Negotiations.” “Constructive.” “Temporary.” Volatility peaks and starts to fall.

Finally, Phase 3: delay, framework, partial deal, or “historic agreement.” Uncertainty collapses. Markets rip higher.

This cycle has repeated with China, Mexico, Canada, India — and it’s happening again.

Today wasn’t about valuation.
It was forced deleveraging.

And if the playbook holds?
Markets recover — and trade above pre-dump levels.

We just passed the shock.
Negotiation is next. 👀
