$250M Liquidated Hourly: Bitcoin Crashes Below $120K as Trump Threatens China

Bitcoin’s price took a turn for the worse over the past hour or so after US President Donald Trump threatened China with a new set of tariffs.

The POTUS said that Beijing is being “very hostile,” and said he always felt that they were lying.

Given his other negative remarks toward China and its regime, Trump went back to his playbook and threatened to impose a “massive increase in tariffs” on products produced in the Asian country.

Although the financial markets have seen such statements before as well, the impact was rather instantaneous in terms of price actions, especially in crypto.

Bitcoin, which charted a new all-time high just days ago, had calmed at around $121,300 before the tables turned and it slumped by over two grand to just over $119,000.

Many altcoins followed suit, with ZEC, MNT, TAO, M, PUMP, LTC, BONK, and PENGU dropping by over 4% in an hour.

As such, it’s no surprise that the total value of wrecked positions has skyrocketed to $250 million in just that past hour alone. On a daily scale, the liquidations are up to nearly $600 million, with more than 155,000 traders wrecked.

HOT MOMENTS: FOMC Statement Released Following the Fed Interest Rate Decision – Here Are All the Details of the Full Text

HOT MOMENTS: FOMC Statement Released Following the Fed Interest Rate Decision – Here Are All the Details of the Full Text

The post HOT MOMENTS: FOMC Statement Released Following the Fed Interest Rate Decision – Here Are All the Details of the Full Text appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Fed has resumed interest rate cuts after a nine-month hiatus, lowering the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4% to 4.25%. According to the “dot plot” projection reflected in the decision text, two additional interest rate cuts are envisaged in 2025. While 9 out of 19 officials expected two more interest rate cuts this year, 2 predicted a single cut, and 6 predicted no additional cuts. Newly appointed Fed Board member Stephen I. Miran dissented from the decision, voting for a stronger 50 basis point cut. The decision noted that economic growth slowed in the first half of the year, employment growth slowed, and the unemployment rate rose slightly. It also noted that inflation had begun to rise but remained high. While reiterating that it maintains its long-term targets of maximum employment and 2% inflation, the Fed noted that uncertainties regarding the economic outlook remain high. The statement read, “The Committee assesses that downside risks to employment have increased, in line with the balance of risks.” The statement stated that interest rate policy will be reshaped in the coming period, taking into account future data, the economic outlook, and the balance of risks. It also noted that the reduction in holdings of Treasury bonds, corporate debt instruments, and mortgage-backed securities will continue. The resolution was supported by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Vice Chair John C. Williams, and board members Michael S. Barr, Michelle W. Bowman, Susan M. Collins, Lisa D. Cook, Austan D. Goolsbee, Philip N. Jefferson, Alberto G. Musalem, Jeffrey R. Schmid, and Christopher J. Waller. *This is not investment advice.
