Bitcoin and the overall crypto market experienced significant turbulence as President Trump announced new tariff policies, impacting traditional and digital asset markets.
Bitcoin initially tried to defend the $83,000 level but eventually dropped, briefly reaching $88,000 before falling back to $82,223.
The announcement led to a 5% decline in the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies, with Ethereum and Solana suffering greater losses.
The imposition of tariffs created uncertainty and prompted investors to seek safer assets, such as gold, while analysts remain divided on Bitcoin's future reaction.
