Bitcoin price fell to a low of $107,385 on Friday as global stocks and cryptocurrencies dropped in response to US President Donald Trump's proposal of a 50% tariff on European Union goods.
The total 24-hour liquidation in the crypto market surged to over $550 million amidst the price decline, with long positions facing significant liquidations and shorts accounting for about $156 million in liquidations.
Following Trump's tariff announcement, Bitcoin's price declined over 2.7%, dropping below $110k, but later recovered to trade above $109,600 with investors eyeing a reclaim of $110k.
US President Trump criticized the EU's trade practices on Truth Social, recommending a 50% tariff on EU goods starting June 1, 2025, causing market turbulence and prompting retail investors, as per analyst Anthony Pompliano, to view the dip as a buying opportunity.
