Don’t Let the Markets Scare You, A Crypto “Golden Age” Is Coming

Don’t Let the Markets Scare You, A Crypto “Golden Age” Is Coming

President Trump is unquestionably the most prolific social media user in the history of global politics.

According to an analysis by Australian trading firm IG, he sent over 8,000 tweets that had measurable impacts on major indexes like the S&P 500. And that was during his first term alone.

The analysis said the immediate effect of his “market-moving” tweets typically lasted around 30 minutes. And those posts could trigger significant price swings across multiple asset classes.

The report also found tweets containing keywords like “tariff” or “trade war” had particularly strong effects on market sentiment. They also triggered moves in currency and commodities markets, particularly pushing up gold prices.

That same phenomenon is playing out in his second term.

Since the Trump administration announced tariffs on major U.S. trading partners on Monday, the S&P 500 has been down as much as 3.5%. Meanwhile, gold has been up as much as 3.3% as investors flee to its perceived safety.

Crypto assets, including bitcoin, have been lumped in the “risk off” asset bucket and, of course, have been having a rough go of it. Bitcoin has been down as much as 6.5% from its high and the smaller altcoins have been hit even harder.

Friends, I know I sound like a broken record. But no one should be shocked that President Trump is using tariffs as a bargaining tool.

During his first term, he imposed tariffs on over $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. And on the campaign trail last year, he repeatedly vowed to use tariffs again as part of his foreign policy strategy.

So what we’re seeing in the markets is just a knee-jerk “tantrum.”

Always remember, when uncertainty increases, investors generally sell off risk assets. And since bitcoin is incredibly liquid, it’s one of the first risk assets panicky investors offload.

That makes these sell-offs incredible buying opportunities for those who know how to handle them. I’m personally licking my chops for bitcoin to go lower so I can add to my stack before the next leg higher.

Here’s why you want to position yourself now, too…

While the mainstream press is busy talking about tariffs, they aren’t paying attention to what’s really going on in crypto like we do here at Digital Asset Daily.

Buried beneath an avalanche of negative trade war headlines was a nugget many reporters missed. Hint: It’s incredibly bullish for digital assets.

By the time the press figures out what it all means, I expect crypto prices to be much, much higher than they are today.
