Bitcoin Drops Below $65,000 Following Trump’s Tariff Announcement

Global Trade Wars Hit Crypto Market Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, experienced a sharp decline after U.S.
President Donald Trump officially announced plans to raise global tariffs from 10% to 15%.
On Monday, Bitcoin lost over 5% of its value, slipping below the critical $65,000 threshold and triggering a "risk-off" wave among investors.
Despite efforts by the U.S.
Supreme Court to limit taxation authorities, Trump’s insistence on this move has deepened selling pressure across markets.
Sharp Retreat from Peak Levels After reaching a historic record of over $125,000 in October 2025, Bitcoin has continued to lose momentum in the new year.
The digital asset has lost 26% of its value since the start of the year and approximately 47% from its peak, showing a weak outlook that diverges negatively from rising Asian stock markets.
Experts point out that the cryptocurrency's sensitivity to macroeconomic uncertainties is increasing.
Geopolitical Tensions and Selling Pressure Jeff Mei, Chief Operating Officer at BTSE, stated that the panic in the market is rooted in aggressive tariff policies.
Mei evaluated the market dynamics, saying: "The expectation of a sudden increase in tariffs has led investors to sell in order to protect themselves from a potential market crash.
Additionally, U.S.
military activity around Iran is fueling concerns about global trade flows and increasing uncertainty." Search for Safe Havens: Gold and Silver in Demand As selling pressure intensified on cryptocurrencies and technology stocks, demand for traditional safe-haven assets increased.
Spot gold gained value amid tariff uncertainty, while silver prices continue to challenge historic highs.
Investors are exiting risky assets and moving their capital to more protected havens.
Technical Levels and Fed Expectations Analysts note that the $65,000 level has now turned into a strong resistance point for Bitcoin.
If selling pressure continues, it is predicted that the psychological support level of $60,000 could be tested.
Market participants are closely following messages regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy in the face of macroeconomic uncertainties.
