Every time Trump rolls out a new tariff announcement, you see the same pattern play out: Bitcoin dumps, altcoins follow suit, stablecoin volumes spike as traders rush for exits. The market doesn't care about the politics—it cares about cash flow. Higher tariffs = inflation concerns = capital flowing into hard assets like crypto as hedges. But here's the thing: the immediate reaction is always panic selling. Seasoned traders know this drill. The real opportunity sits in the volatility that follows. Whether tariffs actually pass or get negotiations talks is almost secondary to what the market *thinks* will happen. That's where the volatility lives, and where the real money moves.

This is another good opportunity for technical bottom-fishing; the panic is mostly among retail investors.

Wait a minute, this logic is a bit backwards—if inflation hedging was supposed to work, why does the market sell off at the first sign of tariffs? The fact proves that the market is driven by emotions and has nothing to do with rational hedging.

Every time Trump announces tariffs, I go straight for the bottom. When others panic and sell, that's when the opportunity arises.

The key is to ride out this wave of volatility and not be scared away by panic selling.

Look carefully, it's the whales harvesting the anxious traders.
