Bitcoin Falls Back to $83K as China Announces 34% Tariffs on All U.S. Goods
Risk sentiment worsened during the European hours Friday after China announced retaliatory tariffs on all goods, responding to Trump’s Wednesday decision to boost the overall levy on Chinese goods to 54%.
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market value, fell by $1,600 to $83,000, erasing the early rise to $84,600, CoinDesk data shows. Other tokens like XRP, ETH, SOL and DOGE also reversed early gains to trade largely flat on the day.
Meanwhile, futures tied to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell over 2% amid escalating global trade tensions.
