Bitcoin Holds Above $103K Following U.S.-China Trade Deal and Institutional Momentum

The cryptocurrency market consolidates gains as Bitcoin stabilizes after recent highs, driven by easing tariffs, ETF inflows, and regulatory advancements.

Overview

  • Bitcoin reached $105,500 on Monday, its highest since January, before retreating to trade around $103,000 following the U.S.-China trade agreement.
  • The U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day tariff truce, reducing tariffs from 125% to 10%, boosting global market sentiment and risk assets like Bitcoin.
  • Institutional adoption continues to grow, with BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF amassing over $5 billion in inflows across 20 consecutive trading days.
  • Ethereum breached $2,500 for the first time in over three months, signaling increased confidence in altcoins and the broader crypto market.
  • The Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady at 4.25-4.5% and dovish guidance have further supported risk-on market behavior.
