If the brewing trade tensions escalate, we could see inflation spike—which might force the Fed's hand on interest rates. That shift would ripple through crypto markets pretty quickly. Higher rates typically mean tighter liquidity and potential pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. Worth keeping an eye on how geopolitical moves play out for your portfolio positioning.

If the trade war escalates, the Fed will have to raise interest rates. At that point, liquidity will tighten, and a 50% crash in the crypto market won't be a dream.

As the trade war escalates, inflation will explode, and the Federal Reserve will have to raise interest rates. At that point, both Bitcoin and altcoins will have to kneel... Truly, when liquidity tightens, it's a bloodbath.

As the trade war escalates, inflation will spike, and the Federal Reserve will be forced to raise interest rates. At that point, the crypto world will have to tremble... This logic has been worn out for a long time.

Once a trade war breaks out and inflation rises, the Federal Reserve will have to raise interest rates. At that point, the crypto world better be careful...
