BTC and altcoins could rally by up to 200% as Trump pauses tariffs on American trading partners

A widely followed cryptocurrency analyst is leaning bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins over the “very short-term.”

Cryptocurrency analyst Capo is leaning bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins over the “very short-term,” following the decision by US President Donald Trump to pause on America’s global trading partners.

The analyst tells his 950,600 followers on X that following the 90-day pause on tariffs, the market is reacting well. Bitcoin could rally by up to 22% from the current level while altcoins could skyrocket by up to 2x over the next few days.

“After the 90-day pause on tariffs, the market is reacting well. BTC could move towards the $92,000 – $98,000 zone. Many altcoins could bounce 50% – 100%. Over the next few days, there’s a decent chance we’ll see another capitulation. Whether triggered by renewed tariff talk or something else (another pandemic scare, or escalating conflict), we’ll need to adapt as things develop. But the probability is high.”

After another round of capitulation, Capo says that altcoins could then witness a bullish trend over the next few months.

“Some might break highs, others won’t. But prices are now very oversold, and returns could be very good. Even if a black swan hits, that would only improve the accumulation zones forming since late March. BTC’s bull market might end in Q3, with the bear market starting in September.”

The pseudonymous analyst adds that this is where things could get really ugly, as he feels that the crypto market has been pushed up artificially.

“This is where things could get really ugly. Like I’ve said before, this “bull market” never felt like a real bull market. BTC was pushed up artificially by ETFs and USDT/USDC minting. Meanwhile, many altcoins are still near their lows. This disconnect is concerning. September might be a key pivot.”
