Markets erupt on trade policy relief, but MCP warns: not all that pumps is paradise.
Key Highlights:
• Bitcoin surges to $82,000 as Trump reverses global tariffs, triggering $350M in short liquidations.
• Analysts warn this relief rally may be short-lived, with China still facing a brutal 125% tariff.
Yello ParadiseSquad, Bitcoin’s back in the headlines, and this time, it’s not just the price action that has people talking.
Early Thursday morning, BTC shot up to nearly $82,000, riding a wave of optimism after President Trump reversed steep global tariffs, sparking what many are calling the biggest relief rally of 2025.
But hold up, before you uncork the champagne, let’s break this down the Paradise way: calm, clear, and cautious.
What Really Triggered This Pump?
On Wednesday, Trump shocked the markets by walking back his aggressive tariff stance—except for China, which now faces a jaw-dropping 125% tariff. This partial rollback brought relief to equity markets already on edge about a potential recession. The S&P 500 soared 9.5%, while the Nasdaq 100 ripped 12%—its biggest single-day gain since 2008.
Crypto didn’t miss the party. BTC led the charge, with altcoins like ETH and XRP jumping 12%, and memecoins plus midcaps catching serious momentum. Tokens like TAO, Sonic’s S, and Flare’s FLARE spiked up to 30%, pushing the total crypto market cap up 6% in a matter of hours.
Adding rocket fuel to the mix, over $350 million in crypto shorts were liquidated, flushing out bearish bets and handing bulls a temporary win.
But Here’s the Million-Dollar Question…
Is this a real breakout—or a textbook bull trap?
That’s what you need to ask right now. Just days ago, BTC was sliding toward $75K. Now, after one policy pivot, we’re expected to believe the market is back in full beast mode?
Think again. Yes, optimism around trade talks has brought a short-term boost. But China’s massive 125% tariff remains, and global tensions are far from over. As Jeff Mei of BTSE warned, continued tariffs on China could have unpredictable consequences. And HashKey Capital’s Jupiter Zheng rightly pointed out that while this may feel like a bottom, true confirmation is still far off.
Let’s also remember: bull traps often come dressed like miracles—sharp rallies that lure in emotional buyers just before another leg down. With short liquidations clearing the path, we may be seeing a bounce… not a breakout.
