$FOLKS just delivered a textbook vertical expansion, followed by a sharp pullback — a classic liquidity grab after a parabolic run.
This is not weakness. This is the market resetting after trapping late chasers.
Early buyers are sitting comfortably in profit. Weak hands have been flushed out. Now the market is doing what it always does next — deciding structure before the next leg.
If this base holds, the continuation can turn explosive once again.
This is how real alpha moves: Fast. Violent. Emotionless.
Smart money doesn’t chase candles — it waits for structure to confirm the move.
Tariffs are once again dominating the headlines — but what does this mean for the markets and crypto?
📌 Tariffs = Higher Import Costs
When import prices climb, inflation pressure rises. And you know who watches inflation like a hawk? The Federal Reserve. That’s why traders should prepare for macro-driven volatility across risk assets in the near term.
👀 Noticed rising prices in electronics, mining rigs, or hardware recently? You're not imagining it.
Thread 2 — Why Crypto Reacts to Tariffs 📉
Markets hate uncertainty — and tariff announcements inject uncertainty right into equities, commodities, and yes… crypto.
💥 Historically, tariff news triggers:
Risk-off moves → BTC and altcoin pullbacks
Lower liquidity during major macro headlines
Short-term spikes in equity–crypto correlation
⚡ Mining Impact
Tariffs raise costs for: ASIC miners • GPU units • Semiconductor chips • Metal components → Higher operational costs → Margin compression → Shifts in hashpower economics
🤨 During tariff cycles, do you treat Bitcoin as a risk asset or an inflation hedge?
