#美国核心物价涨幅不及市场预估 President Trump's EU Tariff Policy Sparks Market Turmoil: Crypto and Traditional Assets Face a Test of Fire and Ice

This news on January 20th caused a sensation in the global financial circle— the U.S. government suddenly announced a 200% tariff on EU goods, with French wine and champagne being the primary targets. Subsequently, there were threats to reopen the Greenland issue at the Davos Forum, instantly plunging the market into a vortex of uncertainty.

Responses came quickly. The cryptocurrency market was hit first—Bitcoin plummeted to around $92,000 in the short term, catching bulls off guard. In stark contrast, safe-haven asset gold strengthened against the trend, with spot gold prices breaking through the historic threshold of $1,700 per ounce, becoming the preferred safe haven for funds.

This wave of volatility reflects an interesting core: at a time when geopolitical risks are rising, market risk appetite shows a clear divergence. Risk assets like Bitcoin face selling pressure, while gold, as the traditional safe haven king, regains attention. For traders, this is both a challenge and an opportunity—the key is to see clearly what the market is re-pricing.

BTC-3,65%

Here we go again, as soon as the tariffs are hinted at, Bitcoin plunges, gold becomes popular and luxurious, this market is just so realistic.

Coming again? As soon as Trump speaks, Bitcoin gets hammered. I’ve seen through it; risk assets are just a trap. Gold has already broken 1700. I should have known not to chase that small increase in coins, can't beat the old guys' tricks.

ngl the real alpha here is watching sentiment flip from greed to fear in real-time... btc dumping while gold pumps is textbook risk-off, but the memetic velocity on this tariff narrative? that's where the social arbitrage plays happen frfr

Here comes again, the 200% tariff move... let's see how many days the bulls can hold on. --- BTC plunging is not surprising; a break below gold is the real signal, the market is choosing sides. --- This Greenland meme... it's almost 2025 and you're still repeating it? Do they really think traders are fools? --- People start screaming around $92,000, but they always die quickly—what about position management? --- Geopolitics always follows this pattern; risk appetite diverges. I only care if my stop-loss is in place. --- Gold breaking below 1700 is a sign that the supply line has been cut; Bitcoin hasn't fallen deep enough this time. --- The most interesting thing is, when the market panics, it dumps BTC as trash, but forgets who led the rally last time. --- Survive first, profit second. Shorten positions on rebounds around $92,000, don’t wait until $20,000 to regret. --- Volatility equals opportunity? Ha, first survive then talk about opportunities. Don’t lose your stop-loss discipline.

Here we go again, here we go again. Every time a policy is announced, Bitcoin runs first, and gold gets cheaper... I'm really amazed. Should I buy the dip this time or wait for more declines?

Here we go again. Every time there’s geopolitical turmoil, the crypto world is flooded with blood, while gold just lies back and wins... This time, the 200% tariffs really confused the bulls.
