📝 Review on the evening of April 5: What did the market choose on the day tariffs took effect?



Today is the first full trading day since the reciprocal tariffs officially took effect under Trump. The market’s answer—down. But before the decline, let’s understand the logic behind it.

📊 Today's Data
• BTC: ~$66,888 | 24h -0.82%
• ETH: ~$2,059 | 24h -2.59%
• Total Market Cap: $2.38 trillion | -2.4%
• Fear & Greed Index: 9 (Extreme Fear)🔴

🔍 Market Reaction Analysis

Tariffs implemented + oil prices surged 14% in a single day (WTI broke $113), double pressure hit. But note: BTC only dropped less than 1%, this isn’t a panic sell-off. The market is saying one thing—"Tariffs, we’ve already priced them in."

This is a typical reaction to negative news being realized. Smart money doesn’t disappear during a crash; it quietly appears during extreme panic.

⚡ Today’s real risk isn’t tariffs

It’s oil prices. WTI at $113, driven by escalating tensions with Iran. This logical chain has already started:
Oil prices rise → Inflation expectations increase → Federal Reserve delays rate cuts → Liquidity tightens → Risk assets come under pressure

Geopolitical risk is the biggest variable in April.

🎯 My outlook

Tariffs are today’s story; ceasefire and rate cuts remain the main themes for April, and that remains unchanged.
• BTC must hold support at $65,000
• Target range remains $78,000–$82,000, but the timeframe may shift
• If tensions with Iran ease, a rebound signal could appear at any time

In one sentence:
Today’s decline is emotional, not fundamental. With a fear index of 9, every time this number appears in history, it’s closest to the bottom. When others panic, you should start counting your bullets.
