In another addition to the old Wall Street maxim of “buy the rumor, sell the news,” bitcoin (BTC) has headed lower after the U.S. and China announced at least a temporary truce in their trade war. Bitcoin had been pumping higher since bottoming just under $75,000 in the days following President Trump’s early April Liberation Day tariff shocker. The price finally again topped $100,000 late last week following an agreement with the UK. China was the gorilla though and BTC nearly reached $106,000 in the early morning hours on Monday after the two countries over the weekend agreed to suspend…

Gains across risk assets have accelerated in the past few days, with Bitcoin (BTC) surging after it crossed above $100k last week. Alongside stocks, Bitcoin surged to a multi-month high of $105,000.

A White House announcement regarding a 90-day agreement to slash reciprocal tariffs added further tailwinds.
