Trump controls the market

[hugeblack]

Anything is possible, but the impact isn't due to Trump. Rather, it's due to Bitcoin's low market cap, which makes it susceptible to political changes, and Trump's decisions are a key factor in these political decisions. Reaching $40,000 is unlikely at the moment, but if problems arise, such as a world war or an economic recession, these levels could be seen.

Trump certainly is a major influence of the Bitcoin and crypto market. In 2024, even with Biden still at the helm in the White House he was already influential as he sought the support of the industry by promising to do this and to do that. Right now, what he is doing and saying can have a reaction in the crypto market BUT this is not an absolute influence as there is always that tupping point when the market will just shrug and ignore that influence. And this is what is happening with the tariff influence right now, after days of going down and following the fear induced by tariffs I think the market has just had enough of it. In other words, while not diminishing the importance of something, everything will eventually level out.

When overall the market and US stocks shake, the crypto market feels the same waves coming to it as well.

Of course, volatility will become less and less of an issue for BTC, but for now, we can't deny that BTC is bound to the sentiment that is brought mainly from the circles that are not crypto.

When investors feel like it, they will pump their liquidity where they see fit, including BTC and others.

I don't think Trump controls BTC price or market. If it is so, BTC would have reached $150k since he became the president. The price goes up and down. Meanwhile some years back during bull run, BTC price did not rise when it was expected rather towards the last quarter of that year.

BTC going back to $40k not possible. Since in the history of BTC and halving, after bull run it has not gone below last all time high.

Is it actually safe to say 'Trump is now the king of the market' because with what we have seen so far for days now he has actually shown that he is in charge and anyone trying to go against him will have himself to be blamed, i hope he settles the issue between him and the chinese president because it is affecting the market badly, if it continues, do you think we may see BTC at 40k?

There's a reason why it is called a Decentralized asset. The power to control is not vested on any singular person rather there are factors that affects the price movement of this asset.

Donald Trump cannot be the King of the market, because he isn't the one buying rather is he selling but the news factor that revolves around him and other nations regarding the tariff war is what affects traditional price mechanism (buying and selling) that correspondingly determines the price trend of this asset.

We have factors that affects price trend and these factors comes and goes but still the market moves no matter what.
In a nutshell, these factors are not the King of the market rather they exhibit an impact on how the price of this asset trends.

If there are anyone to be referred to as the "King of the Market", they are buyers and sellers. They control the price movement.

Trump is not in control, this is just the effect of the tariff wait for the long term effect because he will lose this game he started. The bonds and stock market crashes but this is manipulation not only by him.

But if the trade war is what you meant by him controlling things, its not in his control.  He as threatening every country and they are realizing China now but its all us later.

[ABCbits]

While he have big influence, what he actually does is attempt to perform market manipulation. Many media news[1-2] already create news or article about it. If those are accurate, i doubt he'll take action that could make stock and cryptocurrency price crash anytime soon.

But still though, if he didn't want to declare a tariff war with China then crypto and stock price won't be affected. So it's like a clear manipulation on him, maybe power trip or something? Nevertheless this kind of control is not going to be forever, it's almost a short time when you try to do something like this specially with a lot of nations are involved. Sooner or later he will lose his grip on power and so with that going to be a rude awakening for him.

[bayu7adi]

Is this referring to the impact of the China vs US conflict in the trade sector? Ummmm... I don't think Trump is really in control, seeing him evaluate his decision to raise import tariffs, it's clear enough that he is also afraid of not getting resistance from many countries when it is actually implemented... To fight China, Trump still needs good relations with other countries, so his hesitant attitude is actually saving the US right now... and somehow this does have an impact on the macro economy, but it shouldn't have such a big impact on cryptocurrency...

I can't agree that Trump is the ruler in the cryptocurrency space... he does have high power and authority... But he is also known for his temperament, that's what makes him sometimes reckless and make decisions without evaluating them...

All forms of news related to the economy of a country or related to a country of value has one or two effects on the stock market and the crypto market as well. When I say a country of value, I mean a country among world powers/striving for world power. President Trump does not have control over the market, it's just that the tariff he puts on goods/products coming/going out of the US are what has some negative effects on the market. Good news moves the Crypto market bullish, and negative news moves it bearish.

        -     No doubt his influence is strong especially since he is still the US president of the country he is in. And he knows that many countries are also looking to him so that they will not be heated by Trump. But I don't really believe that he can control the market.

But as some of my friends here say, he has the influence to persuade others to influence something he wants to do that can benefit him
and I think he has done this several times.

I would like to say first that the cryptocurrency market is not actually run by anyone. But I believe that Trump has the power to control the market. Because Trump is in charge of Bitcoin. The current tariff war has some impact on the market. Currently, this war has been suspended. Especially not suspended for the Chinese. If these tariffs are suspended positively by the Chinese, the market will be able to wake up again. Because currently the United States and China are ahead economically. So when these tariffs are completely ended, we will see something good in the market. And the market will be able to reach its previous place.

President Donald Trump is not in charge of Bitcoin, he is only a supporter of cryptocurrency. We all saw how he pledged his total support for the crypto community during the his elections campaigns, and this and any other reasons does not in any way make him in charge of Bitcoin or altcoins.

Lets not give this impression on the community because, as we know, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and can not be own or control by any single individual no matter his personality. What is currently happening on the current market decline is basically his economic policies, talking about the recent Tariff war with many countries. I think that his actions is just affecting the market but he is not in charge of Bitcoin.

The global economic situation is affected and of course it will affect all sectors of the economy including the price of bitcoin even though it is decentralized.
Because the flow in and out of liquidity also has an effect.

Trump is indeed quite controversial at the moment, after his inauguration, the price of bitcoin continues to fall and even now has not shown anything positive.

The current tariff war between the United States and China continues to heat up, but if this ends and all goes back to normal the market conditions will definitely improve.

Trump can create hype in the market, but he can't control the market; he is not the only influencer, and the whales, with or without Trump, will continue to make the market better over the years.
Unless its a war or another pandemic, I don't see the price crashing down to $40k; the market has gone a long way to go back to that price.
