On April 3, 2025, Wall Street faced its steepest decline since the COVID pandemic, almost exactly five years ago.
Following President Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement, which revealed a sweeping set of new tariffs, the market swiftly responded negatively.
The S&P 500 plunged 4.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 4%, and the Nasdaq tumbled 6%.
This move ignited fears of a prolonged trade war, fueling concerns about rising inflation and a potential recession.
Even gold, which has long been considered a safe haven, tumbled after the announcement. Small-cap stocks suffered the most, with the Russell 2000 down 6.6%.
Amid this historic market selloff, one asset stood out for its relative stability: Bitcoin.
Though the leading cryptocurrency initially fell 5%, it quickly rebounded and held at around $81K, climbing the following day to over $83K.
