Bitcoin price at risk of new 5-month low near $71K if tariff war and stock market tumult continues

Bitcoin ( BTC ) price made a swift move to $78,300 at the April 9 Wall Street open as “herd-like” price action in equities markets continued to spook risk-asset traders. BTC/USD 1-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Bitcoin gyrates as stocks make history Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD retargeting five-month lows under $75,000 before rebounding leading into the NY trading session. A deepening US-China trade war kept stocks on their toes, having cost Bitcoin the $80,000 mark the day prior. Highly unusual market behavior had accompanied US tariff announcements, and China’s response with reciprocal tariffs saw the S&P 500 smash records with its roundtrip from lows to highs and back. “On a point basis, the S&P 500 just posted its largest intraday reversal in history, even larger than 2020, 2008 and 2001,” trading resource The Kobeissi Letter confirmed in ongoing market coverage on X. “You have just witnessed history.” S&P 500 chart. Source: The Kobeissi Letter/X Kobeissi drew attention to volatility kicking in from the smallest of triggers, with markets particularly sensitive to statements from US President Donald Trump. “The problem with markets right now: Both bulls AND bears feel ‘uncomfortable’ in these market conditions,” it explained on the day. “Why? Because stocks can swing $5+ trillion in market cap on the basis of a single post from a single person: President Trump. This is why we are seeing ‘herd-like’ price action, where large daily gains turn into large daily losses, and vice-versa.” Crypto Fear & Greed Index (screenshot).

For Keith Alan, co-founder of trading resource Material Indicators, the status quo was unlikely to improve in the short term. “Part of me wants to sit on my hands and wait for this shit storm to pass,” he told X followers while examining order book conditions for Ether ( ETH ) and Solana ( SOL ). “Because I don't think it is going to pass quickly, I'm not too eager to buy, even though some of these assets are on sale at great prices. That said, the fact that bids are piling in on some assets makes them very enticing.” Related: Black Monday 2.0? 5 things to know in Bitcoin this week CME “gap” creates BTC price resistance above $82,000 Focusing on BTC price action, popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital revealed a new nearby resistance level in the form of a recent “gap” in CME Group’s Bitcoin futures. “On the CME Futures Bitcoin chart, price broke down from its sideways range (black-black),” he wrote alongside a chart showing the gap between $82,000 and $85,000. “In confirming the breakdown from the range via a bearish retest, Bitcoin filled the CME Gap (red circle) in the process.
