Bitcoin Reaches New High of $109,400 Amid Trade Policy Shifts

The Bitcoin price surge to $109,400 marks a significant event in its history, largely driven by the recent trade agreement between the US and China. Before this surge, Bitcoin reached a low of $74,434 in April 2025.

Key figures like Donald Trump impacted the market through reciprocal import tariffs. Reports indicate a stabilization following the announcement of a 90-day tariff suspension. Trade negotiations have influenced investor sentiment significantly.

The immediate effects include increased risk appetite among investors and significant shifts in market sentiment. Analysts emphasize Bitcoin’s resilience despite initial market turbulence caused by trade policies.

Economically, the tariff suspension has contributed to a more positive outlook in traditional and cryptocurrency markets. These actions hint at potential upward trends, impacting both the crypto ecosystem and broader financial markets.

Historically, Bitcoin’s response to macroeconomic factors aligns with past post-halving cycles, where substantial appreciation follows halving events. Comparisons are drawn to January 2025, when Bitcoin briefly peaked before a correction phase.

Experts predict high potential growth if Bitcoin maintains levels above $109,400. Past trends suggest the possibility of reaching new peaks above $320,000, contingent on positive market conditions and sustained economic policies.
