Bitcoin crash tied to Trump tariff fears, recovery underway

The 21Shares weekly report noted that the October 10 market crash was sparked by President Trump’s proposed 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, which reignited trade-war fears and pushed Bitcoin’s correlation with the S&P 500 above 60%. 

However, analysts noted that the rhetoric appears to be more of a negotiation tactic than a firm policy, with Trump signaling potential de-escalation. As a result, digital assets have started to rebound, with this week’s mini-rally suggesting the possibility of a broader market recovery if trade tensions continue to ease, similar to the post-Liberation Day rally, when the total crypto market cap surged over 50% in just six weeks.

Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC finds support around the 50-day EMA

Bitcoin price found support around the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level (drawn from the April low of $74,508 to the record high of $126,199) at $106,453 on Wednesday. BTC rose 6.57% in the next four days and closed above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $113,407. However, BTC faced slight rejection from the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $115,137. At the time of writing on Tuesday, BTC finds support around the 50-day EMA at $113,407.

If BTC closes above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $115,137, it could extend the rally toward the psychologically important $120,000 level.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 53, above the neutral level of 50, indicating bullish momentum gaining traction. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover on Sunday, providing a buy signal and further supporting the bullish view.

On the other hand, if BTC faces rejection and closes below the 50-day EMA at $113,407, it could extend the decline toward the next support at $110,000.
