Let’s sort out how the “Trump ultimatum” affects the cryptocurrency market. The current core logic is that short-term geopolitical risk is suppressing expectations of long-term policy tailwinds.

📉 Immediate market reaction: flight-to-safety selling and leverage wipeouts

As of April 7, 2026, the market’s direct reaction follows a typical “risk-avoidance” pattern:

Price pressure: Major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are generally down 2-3%, falling back from key resistance levels. This shows that at this stage, crypto assets are not being treated as “digital gold” safe-haven assets, but rather as high-risk beta assets similar to tech stocks.

High-leverage liquidations: Due to extreme price volatility, in the past 24 hours, large amounts of high-leverage positions were forcibly closed out, with total liquidation amounts across the market exceeding $200 million. This further increases the market’s short-term selling pressure.

⚖️ Core dual-logic analysis

The impact mechanism shows a clear split between the short term and the long term:

Short-term dominant: geopolitical panic (bearish)

Logic: War threats → pushing up oil prices and inflation expectations → reinforcing the Fed’s “higher for longer” outlook (maintaining high interest rates for a longer period of time) → tightening global liquidity → putting all risk assets (including crypto) under pressure.

Performance: During the countdown period of the ultimatum, any news of escalation could trigger a fresh round of selling. This is the main sentiment driving trading in the current market.

Long-term backdrop: Trump’s crypto-friendly policies (bullish)

Logic: The Trump administration has shown clear support for the cryptocurrency industry, including pushing for the establishment of a clear regulatory framework and discussing a “strategic Bitcoin reserve.” This provides long-term certainty for the industry.

Performance: This policy expectation is the basis for supporting strong buy orders for Bitcoin in the $65,000 to $75,000 range, limiting how deeply it can fall. But in the short term, it is overshadowed by geopolitical risk.

🚨 Key risks and reminders

Be wary of extreme volatility in a “news-driven market”: around 8:00 AM Beijing time on April 8 (the ultimatum cutoff point), the market will react extremely to any relevant news (whether an agreement is reached or conflicts escalate). This may cause a sudden “needle-like” trading spike, with very high risk.

Simply put: before this “event” of the ultimatum lands, the risk of short-term volatility is far greater than the opportunity. The market is in a state of high sensitivity to news and panic. For ordinary investors, it’s better to stay cautious, avoid high-leverage positions, and wait for the situation to become clearer. #特朗普再下最后通牒
