Bitcoin swings from 104,000 to 115,000 in minutes after tariff panic
The leading cryptocurrency has delivered another textbook rollercoaster. Within minutes, the price fell to 104,000 dollars, rebounded to 111,000 and climbed to 115,000. The trigger: the escalating trade war between the United States and China.
Panic erupts over 100% tariffs on China
The news of 100% tariffs on Chinese products, announced in October 2025, caused an immediate shock in the markets. Bitcoin, far from acting as a safe haven, briefly plunged. Those who had spent months warning that crypto would be punished for its correlation with equities were proven right again. But the rebound was just as violent: within half an hour it was already trading above 111,000 dollars.
China strikes back with rare earths and port fees
Beijing did not sit idle. On top of the tariffs, it restricted exports of rare earths, critical materials for global technology, and announced special fees on ships linked to the US. The move raised geopolitical tensions and, paradoxically, pushed gold and silver higher. While the precious metal climbed, bitcoin was torn between panic and greed.
The open question is whether this volatility is just a scare or the prelude to a bigger correction. For now, the market showed that its V-shaped recovery capacity remains intact, but no one can guarantee the next crash will find buyers just as quickly. With tariffs in force and the trade war escalating, the only certainty is uncertainty.
