Bitcoin slipped 1.7% to $102,552.70 by 5:11 p.m. ET (21:11 GMT) on Monday, giving back some of last week’s gains but remaining perched above $100,000 after news of a 90-day U.S.–China tariff truce.
Trade Truce Spurs Initial Rally
Over the weekend in Geneva, Washington and Beijing agreed to:
-
Pause Mutual Tariffs for 90 days
-
Slash U.S. Levies on China from 145% to 30%
-
Reduce China’s Duties on U.S. Imports from 125% to 10%
That accord ignited a 9% surge in Bitcoin last week—its highest close since late January 2025—and helped the cryptocurrency clear the $100K milestone.
Monday’s Pullback
-
Price: $102,552.70 (–1.7%)
-
Context: Healthy profit-taking after a sharp advance, against a backdrop of ongoing trade optimism.
