FAKE NEWS MOVES BILLIONS

Bitcoin, stocks, and altcoins all went haywire this week in what’s now being called a “fake news fiasco.”

The chaos started when a tweet from Walter Bloomberg on X claimed Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs, excluding China.

Within moments, major news outlets like CNBC and Reuters amplified the post.

Markets erupted:

• S&P 500 rallied 8%

• Nasdaq leapt 9.5%

• Bitcoin shot from $74.4K to $80.8K

• Ethereum (ETH) and XRP rose over 10%

But just as fast as it rose, the rally collapsed.

The White House responded, calling the report “fake news.”

Markets reversed sharply—Bitcoin and equities tumbled.

Then came the real news:

Trump issued a warning—China must drop its 34% retaliatory tariffs, or face an additional +50% U.S. tariff.

That would bring the total to a stunning 104% tariff on Chinese imports.

China’s Commerce Ministry responded forcefully:

Despite the drama, Bitcoin ended the day +5.96%. Altcoins did even better.

MARKET MELTDOWN - WHAT’S GOING ON?

Turn off your Twitter notifications — not because you should ignore the news, but because it’s overwhelming out there.

Let’s make sense of it:

💣 Crypto & Stock Market Freefall

A massive $1.35B was liquidated from crypto markets, rising to $1.58B within hours.

Meanwhile, stock markets worldwide suffered historic single-day crashes, with multiple circuit breakers triggered.

📊 US Markets Lose $13 Trillion

The Nasdaq 100 is now down 22.7%, and the S&P 500 is down 18.9% year-to-date. More than $13T in value has been wiped out since February — a stark sign of a developing bear market.

🔥 What’s Causing It?

Much of the turmoil is tied to fears around a potential global trade war, as Trump remains firm on introducing and maintaining tariffs.

📈 Any Optimism?

Interestingly, expectations for rate cuts in 2025 have jumped from 2 to 4 since January. These cuts could stimulate growth by making borrowing cheaper — historically a tailwind for stocks and crypto.

🧩 The Big Picture

This isn’t a black swan event. It’s a known issue. Once the US government can refinance $9T of debt at lower interest rates, there may be room to ease tariffs and introduce stimulus measures like Quantitative Easing.

These were critical elements in the 2021 bull market — and could be again.

ALL YOUR BITCOIN MODELS ARE WRONG?

Anyone who tries to cheat Bitcoin gets wrecked. 

It’s a system that can’t be manipulated, no matter how powerful the player.

In a world increasingly run by AI and automation, this matters more than ever. According to Jeff Booth, entrepreneur and founder of Build Direct, Bitcoin is the last stronghold of real value.

Booth warns that reckless monetary policies and an addiction to debt are pushing the traditional financial system to its breaking point.

While Fiat currencies bleed value through inflation, Bitcoin's scarcity and decentralization make it the only escape route from collapse.

As the old system crumbles, Bitcoin is rising.

Booth believes it's the biggest financial transformation in history — and those who don’t adapt risk getting left behind.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) chart is a momentum based visualization for the Bitcoin market. We use the RSI to measure the speed as well as the magnitude of directional price movements in Bitcoin. Depending on how fast a price changes and by how much, an RSI score is given to the day being observed relative to the past 14 days.

• A high RSI means that price movements are very positive relative to the past 14 days.

• A low RSI means that price movements are very negative relative to the past 14 days.
