Today highlights Bitcoin and crypto price dips following Trump news on trade policies. Our prediction warned of Bitcoin price volatility last week, and it hit the mark as markets reacted to US and China tensions. Crypto bros are now watching, monitoring, and hoping for Trump 3pm speech for clues on easing pressures.

The current drop aligns with recent headlines: Trump’s revived trade war posture with Xi Jinping spooked markets, and Bitcoin price slipped beneath recent support, wiping out accumulated gains. The correction mirrors last week’s Bitcoin price prediction, which foresaw volatility amid geopolitical back-and-forth.

Market Reaction and Bitcoin Price Prediction Unfolding
One of our Bitcoin prediction takes had warned of a price pullback in a stressed scenario, and we now got exactly what we bargained for. The recent drops liquidated billions in leveraged positions, contributing to crypto pain. Yet in overnight trade, we saw stabilizing attempts, with BTC clawing back around the $111,000 mark.
Looking forward, Bitcoin price still holds upside potential, with many crypto bettors coming with the same prediction of a rally toward $130,000 by Q4. But beware, it’s not going to be a straight vertical line, expect sharp swings up and down. In bullish scenarios, some analysts even flirt with $1,000,000 before 2026.

Trump Announcements in The News Today, Crypto Altcoins, and Ethereum Season
Trump upcoming speech could be the spark that reignites crypto sentiment. If his address softens tariffs or hints at framing the US as a blockchain leader, we may see capital re-enter the space. His past pro-crypto leanings feed that optimism, and especially today, with rumors of 2-3 more rate cuts this year.

On the altcoin front, the BNB ecosystem is getting attention. As reported by CNBC, chatter that the Trump family eyed a stake in Binance’s US arm had previously catalyzed BNB’s upside.

in recent stretches, and in a rising-rate or inflationary shock scenario, DeFi demand might favor Ethereum’s ecosystem.
Despite the short-term pain triggered by the US-China escalation, the trajectory for crypto remains bullish, and a few rallies could start anytime.
Today, our Bitcoin price prediction came to fruition, and the count of volatility is still valid. If Trump’s speech later leans favorable, we could see a slight pump. If he doubles down on tariffs, expect further turbulence. But bulls are still in play. The next leg up is coming one way or another.

Speaking at TOKEN2049 earlier this month, Edwards shocked crypto enthusiasts by stating that he believes Bitcoin is under a huge threat from quantum computing, and that developers have a limited amount of time to address quantum concerns.

Here is the truth bomb everyone is ignoring.
20-30% of Bitcoin will be taken by a Quantum Machine within 2-8 years and there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop this. These are P2PK addresses, like Satoshis $125B, and many other old/lost coins.
