🚨 THE BIGGEST BITCOIN BULL TRAP OF THIS ENTIRE BEAR MARKET MAY BE FORMING RIGHT NOW...

The July relief rally pushed Bitcoin back above its 200 week moving average.

But just like in 2022, an August sell off could follow. Back then, Bitcoin plunged 38%.

I don’t expect Bitcoin to fall that much this time, but the setup looks very familiar.

🚨 TARIFFS ARE COMING BACK AGAIN

And this could be a disaster for the markets.

Today, it was reported that President Trump is preparing a new round of tariffs on several countries this week.

For some countries it'll be at 10%, while for others, it could be much higher.

But why is this bad?

1) April crash

No one can forget the April tariffs crash.

$10 Trillion was wiped out from the US stock market in a week.

Bitcoin dropped almost 30% in a few months, while ETH dropped to $1,400.

Almost every global stock index dropped 15%-20% in a few days, and it was an absolute bloodbath.

Now, the market is more prepared this time, but even a fraction of that impact will be massive.

2) Inflation

Tariffs mean businesses will raise costs, and it'll be passed down to consumers.

This will result in high inflation, which is already a major concern due to rising oil prices.

High inflation means a hawkish Fed, and the market can't afford it.

3) More uncertainty

During April 2025, tariffs pushed the global uncertainty to its highest level in 30+ years.

With a US-Iran war, yen crisis, bond crisis, credit market crisis, and AI bubble already present, tariffs could even push the global economy into a recession similar to 2008.

I know all this doesn't sound good, but if tariffs really hit the market at a big scale, be prepared for some real downside volatility.
