Bitcoin (BTC) peaked at $105,807 before slipping 3.6% below $102K. New U.S. tariffs: 25% on Mexico & Canada, 10% on China.
Fresh U.S. tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China have impacted Bitcoin's price, leading to a sell-off among traders.
According to recent updates, Bitcoin's price reached a high of $105,807 earlier today, but the announcement of new tariffs caused a rapid decline, bringing the price to below $102,000. This sharp market reaction highlights the sensitivity to geopolitical tensions.
The new tariffs, set to go into effect tomorrow, include a 25% levy on imports from Mexico and Canada, aimed at addressing illegal migration and the fentanyl crisis. At the same time, a 10% tariff will be imposed on imports from China.
However, these measures have sparked concerns among investors, who fear they could lead to higher inflation and disruptions in the supply chain.
As a result, Bitcoin's price dropped from $105,807 to below $102,000 in response to the news, indicating a decline of over 3.6% in just a few hours.
This sell-off is primarily driven by concerns about the potential impact of these tariffs on the broader economy and financial markets.
Meanwhile, global stock and commodity markets are also reacting to the announcement, showing volatility as traders assess the potential effects of new trade barriers.
