Despite Treasury Secretary Bessent repeatedly claiming that the Trump administration is indifferent to stock market performance and pointing out that Trump's core voters—the bottom 50% of Americans—do not hold stocks, he has become increasingly concerned as the situation worsens. On Sunday, amid escalating worries, Bessent urgently flew to Florida to meet with Trump, attempting to persuade him to address the turmoil in the stock market.

Federal Reserve Pauses Rate Cuts, Dollar and Treasury's "Safe-Haven" Attributes Decline

The U.S. stock market plummeted by about 20%, while the market exhibited "abnormal" behavior: not only is the dollar weakening as a conventional safe-haven asset, but the bond market, which typically provides protection against stock declines, also experienced sell-offs during the same period.

The market is deeply concerned about inflationary pressures triggered by tariffs. Powell recently stated that the Federal Reserve may temporarily pause rate cuts, emphasizing the need to fully understand the broader economic impacts of these tariffs—impacts that remain uncertain. In the crypto space, BTC's actual volatility has begun to decline, making the selling of put and call options more attractive.

U.S. Stocks Drop, Market Value Severely Eroded, Trump Pauses Rate Hikes for Some Countries

Although there have been no substantial discussions between the U.S. and any other country (and Japan, South Korea, the UK, and Vietnam may soon issue counter-sanction messages), Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for countries that have not retaliated.

The ongoing tariff tensions are escalating economic risks, as American consumers face rising living costs, increased investment risks, and more potential economic threats, which will gradually reshape the new consumption system. The tariff pause reflects concerns from Trump and Bessent about the secondary effects of the stock market decline (with market value evaporating by nearly $15 trillion) and the potential consequences of the ongoing sell-off in U.S. bonds.

BTC Currently Has Strong Support, Reasonable Operations in Put and Call Options Can Explore Profit Opportunities

BTC has strong support at $73,000. During the recent turbulent week, BTC's actual low of $74,437 also confirmed this. Although the risk/reward ratio at these levels has slightly improved, the likelihood of a significant parabolic breakout is low. BTC may remain within a broader trading range, making strategies like selling put and call options particularly attractive.

Currently, $90,000 is the core resistance level for BTC's upward movement, very close to the key 21-week moving average. The 21-week moving average typically determines whether BTC is in a bullish or bearish zone. Meanwhile, during the current period of uncertainty and volatility, it is favorable for option sellers.
