Bitcoin fell over 3% as global markets retreated amid renewed trade tensions between the U.S. and China. The sell-off extended to altcoins and traditional equities, overshadowing softer inflation data.

  • Bitcoin fell 3% to $78,200 amid fears of renewed U.S.-China trade tensions after a temporary tariff pause was followed by plans for a sharp escalation.
  • Ethereum (ETH) dropped nearly 7%, and major altcoins like Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) also declined as risk-off sentiment spread across crypto and traditional markets.
  • Despite a softer U.S. inflation report, markets ignored potential Fed rate cut signals, focusing instead on geopolitical uncertainty and trade policy risks.
