#TariffTensionsHitCryptoMarket | When Global Trade Politics Test Bitcoin’s Narrative
Financial markets rarely react to a single headline — they react to what that headline represents. The recent pullback in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market is not merely a response to tariffs themselves, but to what renewed trade tensions signal about the global economic trajectory. As tariff rhetoric re-emerges between major economies, investors are once again forced to reassess risk, liquidity, and capital allocation — and crypto finds itself directly in that line of fire.

What was once seen as an isolated trade policy issue has now evolved into a broader macroeconomic challenge, influencing investor sentiment, capital flows, and risk appetite across the digital asset ecosystem.

US President Trump just announced new tariffs on 8 European countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Finland) starting Feb 1 at 10%, rising to 25% by June, unless Greenland is sold to the US.
This Greenland dispute has now escalated into full-blown US-EU trade war fears, echoing memories of the 2025 tariff shocks that wiped billions off crypto markets.
Immediate Market Reaction:
BTC briefly dipped below $92,000 (~3.6% loss)
ETH under $3,200 (~4-5% drop)
Solana & other alts hit even harder
Over $800M+ in liquidations triggered

⚠️ Tariffs, Tension & BTC: Signal or Sentiment? ⚠️
Renewed tariff threats have pushed markets back into risk-off mode, and Bitcoin’s price action tells the story:

🔹 Medium term:
If tariffs actually escalate and hit global liquidity, BTC may dec
