š
Update: October 18, 2025
The relationship between the United States and China has become tense again due to plans for a 100% import tariff and export control of rare earth materials from Beijing. Although both parties have promised to open new discussions next week, the global market ā including crypto ā remains cautious.
š¹ Direct Impact on the Market:
⢠Bitcoin (BTC) is currently at $107,000, having dropped to $103K before a slight rebound.
⢠Ethereum (ETH) around $5,670, still under weekly pressure.
⢠Gold has sharply risen to $2,465, becoming the main refuge for investors (safe-haven).
⢠The correlation of BTC with the NASDAQ index is currently at +0.81 ā meaning crypto is still following the direction of risk assets.
š What Does It Mean?
⢠When geopolitical tensions rise ā investors tend to be ārisk-off,ā selling speculative assets like crypto.
⢠Stablecoin volume has increased by +7% this week ā a sign that many traders are parking funds in USDT/USDC.
⢠Crypto market liquidations reached $420 million in the last 3 days due to global volatility.
š® Predictions for Next Week:
If USāChina negotiations go smoothly, BTC has the potential to rise towards $112Kā$115K.
But if they fail, it could correct back to $100Kā$95K.

š§ Conclusion:
USāChina tensions remain a āhot windā in the global market.
