- Bitcoin fell below $102,000 after the U.S. and China announced a temporary trade truce.
- The price peaked at nearly $106,000 before dropping to $101,300, reflecting a 3% decline over 24 hours.
- Analysts expect altcoins and U.S. equities, which underperformed in the first quarter, to stabilize as Bitcoin continues to benefit from current market conditions.
- The 90-day tariff pause may provide short-term positive signals for risk assets like cryptocurrencies, but volatility is likely to return due to the temporary nature of the agreement.
"Lower tariffs ease inflationary pressures and improve global liquidity conditions, both of which are typically bullish for BTC and other cryptocurrencies."— Kirill Kretov, trading automation expert at CoinPanel, commenting on the current market situation.
