ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, cryptocurrency investor sentiment has significantly improved from global tariff concerns, but analysts say that structural weaknesses in the market may still trigger downward pressure during the weekend's low liquidity. After U.S. President Trump adopted a more moderate stance, indicating that the import tariffs on Chinese goods could be "substantially reduced," the risk appetite among cryptocurrency investors seems to have rebounded this week.However, Bitfinex analysts stated that this improvement in sentiment "does not mean that Bitcoin can avoid volatility during the weekend; while improved sentiment can reduce market fragility, it cannot eliminate structural risks such as weak weekend liquidity. Historically, severe fluctuations are still likely to occur during weekends, especially when there are high open contracts and low market depth. Sudden macroeconomic news may still exacerbate volatility during low liquidity periods."
