tariff

In January 2026, President Trump has increasingly framed his use of tariffs not just as an economic policy, but as a strategic tool to achieve "world peace" and global stability. This shift in rhetoric underscores a worldview where American economic strength is used as leverage to shape international relations and resolve geopolitical conflicts.
As of late January 2026, Trump’s "peace through tariffs" strategy has manifested in several high-profile international disputes:
1. The Greenland Dispute
Trump recently used the threat of 10% to 25% tariffs on several European nations to pressure them into supporting a U.S. acquisition of Greenland.
National Security Framing: He stated that "order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken" to secure Greenland, which he views as vital for the security of the entire Arctic region.
Current Status: On January 21, 2026, after meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump backed away from these tariff threats, citing a "framework of a future deal" regarding Arctic security.
2. "Board of Peace" Initiative
On January 22, 2026, during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump formally established the Board of Peace (BoP), an organization he purports will promote global peacekeeping.
Transactional Peace: Permanent membership requires a financial commitment of $1 billion.
Alternative to UN: Critics and some world leaders have expressed concern that the board is intended to serve as a Trump-led alternative to the United Nations Security Council.
3. Recent Tariff Actions (Late January 2026)
Trump continues to use tariffs as a "diplomatic hammer" to influence foreign trade and alliances:

Canada: Trump recently threatened 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Prime Minister Mark Carney moves forward with a new trade deal with China, which Trump claims would allow China to "devour" Canada.

South Korea: On January 26, 2026, Trump announced an increase in tariffs on South Korean goods (including autos and pharmaceuticals) from 15% to 25%, accusing the country's legislature of failing to enact a previously agreed-upon trade framework.

Iran: Earlier in January 2026, he announced a 25% tariff on any country that continues to trade with Iran.
4. Broad Reciprocal Tariff Policy
The administration continues to implement a "reciprocal tariff" system, authorized by an April 2025 executive order using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). This includes a baseline 10% universal tariff on all imports, plus additional retaliatory rates for countries with large trade surpluses with the U.S..

The markets love liquidity - even the idea of it. This week, Donald Trump gave traders a reason to believe it might come back again.
In a bold and unexpected move, Trump used the Truth Social platform to announce what he called the "tariff return" - a proposal to give every American (except high-income earners) a $2,000 boost funded directly from tariffs. It’s not a new round of stimulus checks, but it feels like one. That sentiment alone was enough to move the cryptocurrency market.

$BTC

Introduction
As Bitcoin consolidates around $85,158 (+3.16% today), traders are weighing technical patterns against a backdrop of escalating macroeconomic risks—from Trump’s tariff threats to global recession warnings. This analysis deciphers the critical support/resistance levels on the chart and explores how geopolitical and economic shocks could dictate BTC’s next major move.
Technical Analysis: Battle Between Bulls and Bears
1. Resistance (Green Line): The 93,000–93,000–95,000 Ceiling
Bitcoin faces stiff resistance near 93,000–93,000–95,000, a zone tested multiple times in April 2025.
A decisive breakout above this level could ignite a rally toward $101,000 (year-to-date high) and beyond.
Why it matters: This resistance aligns with the 2024 all-time high consolidation zone—flipping it to support would signal strong bullish conviction.
2. Support (Red Line): The 72,000–72,000–75,000 Safety Net
The 72,000–72,000–75,000 range has acted as a springboard for BTC since March 2024.
A drop below this support could trigger a cascade toward $65,000, where institutional buyers may step in.
Key indicator: The 50-day moving average (~$80,000) is now a short-term pivot—holding above it keeps bulls in control.
3. Current Price Action: Consolidation Before the Storm
Bitcoin’s +3.16% surge today reflects optimism, but volume remains muted—suggesting hesitation.
Symmetrical triangle forming on lower timeframes hints at an imminent volatility spike.
Macro Risks: How Trump, Recession, and Global Chaos Could Swing BTC
1. Trump’s Tariff Policies: Double-Edged Sword for Crypto
Proposed 10% global tariffs may initially boost the USD (pressuring BTC), but long-term, they could:
Accelerate de-dollarization, driving demand for Bitcoin as a neutral asset.
Fuel inflation, reinforcing BTC’s “digital gold” narrative.
2. Recession Looming? Watch the Fed’s Next Move
The inverted U.S. yield curve signals a potential 2025–2026 recession.
Short-term pain: BTC may dip alongside equities in a liquidity crunch.
Long-term gain: Fed rate cuts could flood markets with cheap money, propelling crypto.
3. Unemployment and Economic Fragility
Rising jobless claims could force the Fed to pivot dovish, creating a tailwind for risk assets.
Corporate debt defaults might spark short-term panic but are unlikely to derail Bitcoin’s structural adoption.
4. Global Economic Meltdown Scenarios
China’s collapse: A property market crash could spill into crypto via commodity-linked sell-offs.
EU/Japan debt crises: Currency devaluations may push investors toward BTC as a hedge.
The Bottom Line: Trade Setups and Strategic Outlook
Bullish Scenario: Break above 95,000 confirms a new uptrend targeting 95,000confirms a new uptrend targeting 101,000+. Macro chaos (tariffs, inflation) could supercharge gains.
Bearish Warning: Failure to hold 72,000 risks plunge 72,000 risks plunge 65,000. Recession fears may delay the next bull cycle.
Pro Tip: Watch the DXY (U.S. Dollar Index) and S&P 500 for correlations—BTC often inversely tracks the USD in crises.
Conclusion: Bitcoin as the Ultimate Hedge
In a world of trade wars, recession, and currency debasement, Bitcoin’s technical levels are just one piece of the puzzle. The real driver? Global loss of faith in traditional systems. Whether you’re a trader or Holder, 2025 promises volatility—and opportunity.
