Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have staged a healthy recovery, as US President Donald Trump delayed the decision of a 50% tariff on the EU to the 9th of July. While Bitcoin BTC $96 611 24h volatility: 2.1% Market cap: $1.92 T Vol. 24h: $29.09 B

Following the Trump tariff announcement, a temporary easing of trade tensions sparked a rebound in digital assets. Donald Trump extended the deadline for the proposed 50% tariffs on European imports to July 9. This development also lifted US and European index futures, which gained momentum ahead of the weekly market open.
Bitcoin Price Sees Strong Volatility Over Trump Tariff Talk
After surging to an all-time high of $111,970 last week, Bitcoin came under selling pressure as Trump announced a 50% EU tariff. The ripple effect spread across the entire crypto market, with altcoins losing momentum as well.
The wave of risk-off sentiment triggered over $500 million in long liquidations across the crypto market. Futures linked to Bitcoin, Ether, Cardano, Solana, and Dogecoin suffered significant losses during the downturn.
However, the market sentiment flipped positive once again as President Donald Trump announced that he would delay the tariffs until July of next month. Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, said:
“On the other, the speedy extension of tariff deadlines reinforces the belief that the worst is over. Traders are cautiously accumulating again.”
