The market remains skeptical about whether the 90-day tariff delay can lead to substantial negotiation outcomes.

ChainCatcher news reports that according to 4E monitoring, as the "peer tariff" policy approaches its effective date, Trump signed the latest executive order on Tuesday, raising tariffs on China to 104%, causing global markets to plunge into a panic sell-off once again.The three major U.S. stock indexes surged in early trading due to optimistic expectations for trade negotiations, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both rising over 4%. However, following the tariff news, market sentiment reversed, and gains quickly evaporated, turning into declines. By the close, the Nasdaq fell 2.15%, the Dow dropped 0.84%, and the S&P 500 decreased by 1.57%.

The market is closely watching the subsequent actions of both the U.S. and China, as well as whether other countries will be drawn into a broader trade conflict. In the short term, the market may continue to be shrouded in high uncertainty.

ChainCatcher news, trader Eugene posted, "The introduction of global trade tariffs marks a change in the world order that has not been seen in over 50 years. Free trade has always been a key factor driving productivity and economic growth, contributing to the largest long-term bull market in history. The shift from openness to a protectionist stance will have profound effects, which will take years to gradually manifest, unless Trump completely abandons his tariff plans. I think the likelihood of that is very low. This will pose significant long-term resistance to global risk assets.In terms of cryptocurrency, the recent structural decline in active developers may be the most concerning thing. In the last cycle, we could observe developer activity and feel reassured because we knew our industry was still benefiting from long-term tailwinds. Fast forward 2-3 years later, and we have not produced anything particularly interesting or important, and the outlook for the future is even worse than it was then.In the last cycle, we looked forward to the launch of ETFs and a better regulatory environment under government support for cryptocurrencies as a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that these have been realized, but (once again) have failed to meet expectations, I see no future that can free cryptocurrency from its inherent 'Ouroboros' (self-circling, self-consuming dilemma).In the coming weeks to months, I hope to reduce operations in the cryptocurrency space, whether bullish or bearish, as I believe this is the wisest choice. Being a believer waiting for a new bull market is no longer contrarian thinking. However, starting to explore new greenfields (undeveloped areas) is indeed contrarian.For me, the only bright spot is that the use cases and global acceptance of Bitcoin are stronger than ever, which may encourage believers to continue hoarding Bitcoin and achieve decent returns (I hope so). The idea of Bitcoin reaching $1 million per coin by 2035 is not a fantasy in my view."

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, CryptoQuant's research director Julio Moreno stated that Bitcoin has retraced 26.6% from its peak of $109,500, approaching the largest decline of this bull market. Although it is not as severe as the bear markets of 2022 (-73%) and 2018 (-83%), the analysis firm ecoinometrics pointed out that against the backdrop of the Nasdaq being flat year-on-year, the difficulty of BTC's rebound has increased, and the risk of further retracement remains.As a result, Strategy did not increase its BTC holdings from March 31 to April 6, with a total investment of $35.65 billion, achieving only a 17% return. In addition, if BTC closes below the 50-week EMA this week, it may signal the start of a bear market, with the current key support level being in the range of $65,000 to $69,000.

ChainCatcher news, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink stated: I still do not rule out the possibility of the market dropping another 20%. The U.S. is currently a source of instability, with concerns about high inflation and rising interest rates. Trump has been focusing on areas that lead to inflation and economic instability. Most CEOs I have spoken to believe the U.S. economy is already in recession and are skeptical about the speculation that the Federal Reserve will cut rates multiple times in 2025.But in the long run, there are more buying opportunities than selling opportunities. Larry Fink previously stated that market chaos is a "buying opportunity" and mentioned that BTC could become the next global reserve currency.
