It followed Trump&rsquo;s initial tariff salvo that had imposed a 104% tariff on China.<\/p>\n<p>Amid this tit-for-tat escalation, BTC and crypto prices slipped as fears of a global trade war deepened. The 90-day pause is a major shift in the short term, and Bitcoin&rsquo;s reaction alludes to investor sentiment around the topic.<\/p>\n<h2>What next for BTC, crypto?<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin&rsquo;s rally suggests investors are viewing the pause positively, with the cryptocurrency likely to extend gains above $80k.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, this is the scenario given that Trump&rsquo;s partial tariff reprieve has reignited risk-on sentiment, with U.S. equity futures also rebounding sharply.<\/p>\n<p>However, the relief may be short-lived. China&rsquo;s refusal to back down and the exclusion of Beijing from the pause could prolong volatility. For now, Bitcoin&rsquo;s climb past $81,000 underscores its resilience and potential upside continuation. But, investors will be keen on China&rsquo;s next move.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/bitcoin-soars-past-to-82k-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause\/\">Bitcoin soars past $82K as Trump announces 90-day tariff pause<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\">CoinJournal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/bitcoin-soars-past-to-82k-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Bitcoin spiked to above $82,000 on Wednesday, rising by more than 4.7% within minutes.
