Hey, everyone, it is your favorite Crypto 101 producer TiVo here to bring you some breaking news. So, as you see on the channel, we released the rundown earlier today, and while that is still a great episode, especially the back half, so check the timestamps. There's a ton of great information still from the week in crypto that you can go listen to. So definitely go back and listen to that. However, the front end, where we do the technical analysis and break down the charts for you guys, is going to be outdated. And if you haven't heard yet, you're going to be asking, why is it outdated? Literally. We finished the episode and two hours later, President Trump comes out with an announcement that he is rolling back the tariffs and has a whole entirely new tariff plan. He tweeted about it and then he had a press conference at the White House about it. And it has sent markets soaring. Everything from the S and P, the NASDAQ to bitcoin is literally flying upward. And obviously it's a huge change in sentiment. Right. A week ago, we gave you two episodes around the tariff announcements in the Rose Garden. And now as the markets kind of continue to panic and digest that, there's a complete reversal on that. So what I do have for you is our fearless leader, Bryce Paul took the time out immediately to break down everything that just happened in the last two hours and digested for you.

All right, everybody, Bryce here coming at you with another real quick crypto market update. And all I can say is, holy freaking cow. Just as quickly as it started, it seems like it's ending. Okay? This whole tariff tantrum just got a whole lot better. Okay, now get this, okay? I'm sure you've heard, if you're watching this market update, I'm sure you've already heard and seen the Dow just had its biggest rally in the past five years on the news that Trump is pausing these tariffs for 90 days, bringing them to 10%. OK? 10% for everybody except for China. China got boosted to 125%. Okay? So this whole thing, Scott Besson just went on tv, the Secretary of the treasury, he said this whole thing's been about China making them play fair, forcing their hand, okay? And forcing their hand. He certainly has. He has now cornered them. He said that 75 countries are coming to the table to negotiate, to renegotiate these sort of deals that have been really, you know, predatory to Americans over the past 40 years. Um, and specifically since China got introduced into the World Trade Organization and NAFTA and all that kind of Stuff we don't need to go into a whole history lesson right now. All I need to tell you is just look at this. I mean, just look at this. A perfect falling wedge in bitcoin. It snapped right below its 200 day average and it looks like it's about to pop back up. I'm. I'm not saying this is an all out buy signal. Go and back up the truck. I'm not quite saying that. Okay. Because there's still some bigger macro uncertainty. You still have the volatility in the treasury market, like trading like it's a penny stock, like I said yesterday with how wild these yields are, but this is a start. This is just going to show that there's major upside, headline risk. Okay. This is something I've talked about ad nauseam to, to my subscribers, is that I don't want to be short this market and I'm going to wait out the storm because sure, there's a lot of crazy things going on, but all it takes is one good tweet, which it was, or one good announcement that's going to assuage the fear. Okay. Or smooth over all that fear. And so again, I'm not saying we're 100% out of the woods, but the technical buy ratings on, on the oscillators and the moving averages across the altcoin market on the daily time frame have switched from strong cells to much more neutral to. And some of them have strong buys, but much more neutral. So you're starting to see what I call a recovery. Okay, so do I think that this is going to be a straight to 100k sort of move where altcoins go bananas immediately? I don't think it's going to be that kind of move because I still think there's still some macro uncertainties that are going to weigh on the market a little bit. But, but throughout all of this, you're realizing bitcoin reacted very positively. This news, $82,000 all the way from a low of, I think this morning it was right around $73,000. And so that's a huge, huge move in bitcoin. I think it's really just the start. Again, we're breaking out of a nice technical falling wedge. We've got supports from the lows, the volumated average price anchored to the liquidation back in August, remember the unwind of the whole carry trade. We anchor a volume weighted average price there and we're finding support there. So the buyers that stepped in there during that mass panic stepped in yet Again, to defend the price. And this is a really good, Good, good, good. Did I say good? Good sign. Okay, so I'm really excited. Again, this is spelling a bright future for crypto, especially because you have the administration, who are all bitcoin and crypto bulls. In fact, yesterday the Secretary of Treasury again was getting interviewed and said, we are determined we are bent on finding a way to integrate blockchain to support the overall economy. Okay? So these are positive things. And while the stock market and the bond market might still have some volatility, I think the crypto market will too. But I think in the long run, crypto is going to be the fastest horse. Okay? So whether we, you know, get some quantitative easing or, or lower interest rates or anything from the Fed, that'll just be more fuel to the fire. Because what we also have is not just the Fed, but you have all the central banks globally, including the bank of China, which is going to be stimulating the economy to stave off any recession or any sort of fears and social unrest that might occur from these disruptive tariffs. Okay? So now that it's pretty much all the tariffs being targeted on China and all the other countries are feeling a little bit of breath of fresh air, a little bit of a reprieve, things look like they're just getting back on track, getting back to what you would call calculable risks. You know, a week ago, even as soon as yesterday, these risks were really incalculable. You couldn't figure out how to price things going forward because the markets were pricing in, you know, you know, max tariffs on every country all around the world. Okay, that was a negotiating ship. We've been saying it. That was a negotiating chip to get people to come to the table. And he had to bully people. I'm not going to lie. I mean, this was kind of a bully move. But he knew his cards, right? He's, you know, he's the art of the deal, the negotiator, the master planner here. And he knew his cards. He knew he had the strongest consuming country, which is America. We buy everything from everybody. And we're the customer. We're the global customer of the world, and, and we get to dictate the terms. So anyhow, there is a lot that, you know, I gotta get back to trading here, so. So I don't want to take up too much more time because these markets are moving extremely fast. But I, I just gotta let you know, this is as excited that I've been in, in the past several weeks again, because we've had some really, really bad times in crypto for the, for the whole quarter and today was the first sort of, sort of a, a little bit of a relief. Again, I'm not saying I'm going all in right now. I still have and so I still want to slowly re enter the market. I'm setting limit orders 10, 15% below price on some of these altcoins because remember the altcoins, they're still illiquid, they're still going to be volatile. If we get some more panic in the market for one reason or another, you'll see things come down. So I'm not saying this is going to be a straight line up. I'm saying it's the beginning of the end and that's what I like to hear, okay? The beginning of the end of this whole tariff tantrum that has spooked markets down to levels not seen for a while. Okay? So anyhow, long story short, use proper risk management, use your brain, don't fomo, meaning when the market's rallying as hard as it is, don't buy the top, just set some limit orders again, 5, 10, 15% below price. Use some stop losses and happy trading. Because this is a really, really interesting, interesting time in the market. And, and it's not the time to, to fold in and, and say, hey, I'm going to figure it out later. It's the time to really zoom in, really panic, sorry, really pay attention and not panic. Really don't panic. That's, that, that's the worst that you could do. So anyhow, I got to get back to it. I really appreciate your time and I hope to see you guys making some happy, successful trades here in the near future.

CRYPTO 101 Episode Summary: "BREAKING NEWS: Trump Announces New Tariff Plan and MARKETS RIP"
Release Date: April 9, 2025
Hosts: Bryce Paul & Brendan Viehman
In this episode of CRYPTO 101, hosts Bryce Paul and Brendan Viehman delve into a seismic shift in the financial markets triggered by a surprising political announcement. The episode focuses on former President Trump's unveiling of a new tariff plan, its immediate impact on global markets, and the subsequent reactions within the cryptocurrency sphere. This comprehensive analysis aims to equip retail investors with crucial insights to navigate the volatile crypto landscape.
Producer TiVo initiates the episode by addressing an urgent update that bypassed the regular podcast release schedule. At the outset, TiVo highlights how the initial episode's technical analysis became outdated within two hours due to President Trump's unexpected announcement.
Timestamp [00:00]: TiVo explains that shortly after completing the episode, Trump declared a rollback of existing tariffs and introduced a new tariff framework via Twitter and a White House press conference. This swift political maneuver led to a significant surge in major markets, including the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Bitcoin.
Key Point: The sudden policy shift transformed market sentiment overnight, contrasting sharply with the previous week's episodes that discussed tariff tensions in the Rose Garden.
Taking the reins, Bryce Paul offers a detailed breakdown of the ramifications of Trump's new tariff plan on the crypto markets and the broader financial ecosystem.
Timestamp [04:32]: Bryce emphasizes the strategic vision behind the administration's approach, stating, "The mission is the boss and it cuts across the whole company. By organizing that way, we also created transparency." He attributes market rebound signs to this comprehensive strategy.
Market Reaction: Bryce notes that the Dow experienced its largest rally in five years following the announcement. Bitcoin, in particular, saw a dramatic rise from approximately $73,000 to $82,000 within hours, signaling a robust recovery from recent downturns.
Technical Analysis: Highlighting Bitcoin's technical indicators, Bryce points out a "perfect falling wedge" pattern that broke below the 200-day average, suggesting a potential upward trend. He advises caution, acknowledging ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and treasury market volatility.
Policy Implications: Bryce discusses Treasury Secretary Scott Besson's role in pushing China and other nations to renegotiate tariffs, leveraging America's position as the world's largest consumer to enforce fairer trade practices.
Crypto Market Outlook: Despite the positive momentum, Bryce cautions against overenthusiasm. He recommends strategic re-entry into the market with limit orders set 10-15% below current prices for altcoins, due to their inherent volatility and illiquidity.
Bryce provides a granular view of how the new tariff plan is recalibrating market dynamics:
Stock and Bond Markets: The S&P 500 and NASDAQ rebounded sharply, while the bond market exhibited volatility reminiscent of penny stocks. This dichotomy underscores the complex interplay between traditional and crypto markets amidst policy changes.
Bitcoin's Surge: The cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin, responded positively to the tariff rollback. The technical indicators suggest the beginning of a recovery, though Bryce stops short of labeling it a definitive buy signal due to lingering macroeconomic factors.
Global Economic Impact: With 75 countries entering negotiations to revise unfair trade deals, the global economic landscape appears more stable and predictable. Bryce attributes this stability to the administration's assertive stance against predatory trade practices.
Bryce synthesizes the discussion by highlighting the broader implications for the crypto market:
Positive Government Sentiment: The administration's pro-crypto stance, including plans to integrate blockchain technology into the economy, fosters a favorable environment for cryptocurrency adoption and investment.
Strategic Caution for Investors: While the market shows signs of recovery, investors are urged to remain vigilant. Bryce underscores the importance of avoiding panic selling or buying at the peak, advocating for disciplined investment strategies.
Future Outlook: Bryce remains optimistic about the long-term prospects of crypto, likening it to "the fastest horse" in the financial markets. He anticipates continued growth fueled by supportive monetary policies and global central bank interventions.
Bryce Paul [04:32]: "The mission is the boss and it cuts across the whole company. By organizing that way, we also created transparency."
Bryce Paul [05:33]: "Look at this. A perfect falling wedge in Bitcoin... it's about to pop back up."
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson: "We are determined we are bent on finding a way to integrate blockchain to support the overall economy."
Bryce Paul: "Use proper risk management, use your brain, don't FOMO."
Bryce Paul: "Crypto is going to be the fastest horse."
This episode of CRYPTO 101 provides an urgent and insightful analysis of a pivotal moment in the intersection of politics and cryptocurrency. Bryce Paul effectively unpacks the immediate market reactions to Trump's new tariff plan, offering strategic advice for investors navigating the ensuing volatility. The discussion underscores the resilience of the crypto market and the positive trajectory influenced by supportive government policies. For retail investors aiming to achieve substantial success in crypto, this episode serves as a crucial guide in understanding and leveraging the dynamic interplay between global economic policies and cryptocurrency trends.
