What Happened: Bitcoin rose to $80,000 in the early trading hours but reversed course later, plunging below $76,000 overnight.
Ethereum's short-lived rally also fizzled out, as the second-largest cryptocurrency dipped to an intraday low of $1,427.05.
Bitcoin's dominance grew further to 62.7%, while Ethereum's market share shrank to 7.2%, less than half of what it was a year ago.
The slump triggered a liquidation of $271 million in long positions. That said, over $950 million in shorts for the BTC/USDT pair on Binance risk liquidation if Bitcoin rebounds to $80,000.
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest decreased 2.08% in the last 24 hours and more than 16% from its late March highs when the apex cryptocurrency surpassed $87,000.
Moreover, Bitcoin's Long/Short ratio fell sharply in the last 24 hours, suggesting that the majority of the traders were betting on BTC's price decline
The prevailing market sentiment was one of "Extreme Fear," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.48 trillion, following a drop of 0.11% in the last 24 hours.
The stock rebound lost steam following President Donald Trump's imposition of a 104% tariff on China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 320.01 points, or 0.84%, to end at 37,645.59. The S&amp;P 500 slid 1.57%, ending at 4,982.77. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite tanked 2.15% to close at 15,267.91.

Analyst Notes: In a note shared with Benzinga, analysts at cryptocurrency payment company B2BINPAY said, "Tariff policy that recently came into action significantly impacted global markets, and this is the reason why Bitcoin has fallen below the $81,500–82,000 level, which was crucial for maintaining its past momentum."
That said, assertions such as the one by JPMorgan analysts that Bitcoin's "digital gold" narrative <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44627407/gold-overtaking-bitcoin-in-inflation-hedge-strategy-jpmorgan-says">was in danger</a> haven't positively influenced gold's price, B2BINPAY said, as even the yellow metal has retreated from its highs.
Popular on-chain analytics firm Santiment drew attention to the "opportunity zones" for altcoins.
"As tariffs have wreaked havoc on the crypto sector, the MVRV Divergence model shows that assets have racked up heavy enough realized losses to justify dip buys," Santiment stated. "If and when a global tariff solution is reached, it would undoubtedly trigger a very rapid cryptocurrency recovery."

Many users stressed the basics: cut back, spend less, and prioritize essentials.
&#8220;Don't buy anything unless you absolutely need it,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/37235211/you-scratch-your-head-and-wonder-why-youre-freaking-broke-dave-ramsey-is-infuriated-by-people-wa">No frivolous spending</a>.

One user put it frankly: &#8220;Buy cheaper booze. Eat cheaper food. Hope economies recover soon,&#8221; while someone suggested, &#8220;Save every dime and don&#8217;t put anything back into the economy. Let it hit rock bottom like in 2007 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44599968/susan-crawford-defeats-elon-musk-backed-rival-in-wisconsin-supreme-court-race-after-billionaires-1-million-voter-giveaway-gamble">Democrats will win big</a> like Obama did.&#8221;

Some pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/greatest-opportunity-expect-recession">recessions can be a buying opportunity</a>—but only if you already have money.
&#8220;Use your $20M in cash and property equity to buy stocks and real estate that are on fire sale,&#8221; one reply joked. &#8220;That&#8217;s what the rich do so you should too.&#8221;
Another echoed that sentiment: &#8220;Put everything you can into the market, hold, get rich, retire early.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Humor, Politics, and Raw Honesty</h2>
As you&#8217;d expect on Twitter, not everyone kept it serious. Some leaned into gallows humor. One user simply said, &#8220;Suffer, but in 4K HD.&#8221; Another joked, &#8220;Well, like the song says: &#8216;watch your life slide out of view, and then dance, and drink, and screw, because there&#8217;s nothing else to do.'&#8221;&nbsp;
One person summed it up with, &#8220;Try not to be depressed to the point where you want to off yourself!&#8221;
Others brought in politics. &#8220;Curse out this stupid administration every day and vote blue from POTUS down to the City planners.&#8221; Others blamed Democrats for &#8220;changing the definition&#8221; of a recession.
A few posts got extra real. &#8220;If you have to ask, then you aren't being touched by it. If you were experiencing it, you'd know and the answer would be: cut costs&#8230; and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41615445/mark-cuban-says-if-you-use-a-credit-card-you-dont-want-to-be-rich-why-financial-icons-warren-buffett">don't use credit cards</a>.&#8221;

When A 22-Year-Old Asked 'What Do We Do During A Recession Exactly?' Twitter Responded With Humor, Harsh Truths, And Survival Tactics

Stock futures tumbled on Tuesday evening as markets braced for President Donald Trump&#8216;s 104% tariff on Chinese imports taking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44698697/markets-reverse-gains-as-trumps-104-china-tariff-announcement-rattles-wall-street">effect at 12:01 a.m. ET Wednesday</a>, erasing a brief relief rally and sending major indexes to significant lows.
What Happened: S&amp;P 500 futures fell 88.25 points or 1.76% to 4,932, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 581 points or 1.53% to 37,281, and Nasdaq-100 futures saw the steepest decline, plunging 394 points or 2.29% to 16,849.
The sell-off followed Tuesday&#8217;s volatile session, where the S&amp;P 500 tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) erased a 3.7% intraday gain to close down 1.57% at 4,892, hitting a one-year low. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.95% to 17,104 after climbing 4.1% earlier in the day.
&#8220;China made a mistake by retaliating, and the president is punching back harder,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday, confirming no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">delays or exemptions to the tariffs</a>.

Why It Matters: Tech stocks led the downturn, with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) closing down 4.98%, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shedding 4.90%, and Amazon.com Inc.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) ended 3.97% lower, reflecting broad risk aversion.
Amid market turmoil, Trump unveiled plans to revive U.S. coal production, directing federal agencies to fast-track mining permits and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">slash environmental regulations</a>.

Trump's 104% Tariff On Chinese Imports Sends Stock Futures Plunging — Dow Falls Over 500 Points

Elizabeth Warren urged Congress to take decisive action to avert an economic downturn. Taking to X on Tuesday, she emphasized the need for bipartisan cooperation to stabilize the economy.
What Happened: Warren highlighted the lingering effects of the 2008 financial crisis on families and communities. She stressed that Congress has the capability to prevent a similar situation from occurring.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">To this day, there are families and communities that still haven't recovered from the 2008 crash.

Warren called on a few Republican members to resist pressure from President Donald Trump and prioritize the welfare of the American people. Her comments come amid growing concerns about potential economic instability.
She wrote, &#8220;We need a handful of Republicans to not bend a knee to Trump and instead stand up for the American people.&#8221;

Why It Matters: At least a dozen House Republicans are considering backing Rep. Don Bacon&#8217;s (R-Neb.) bill to limit the president&#8217;s power to impose tariffs without congressional approval — a rare break from Trump, who has vowed to veto it. The bill would require congressional approval for tariffs to last beyond 40 days and has bipartisan support in both chambers, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/04/08/house-republicans-tariff-bill-trump-don-bacon">reported</a> Axios.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Warren has criticized Trump&#8217;s economic policies. Earlier, Warren publicly condemned Trump&#8217;s tariff strategy, which she claims has caused market turmoil and affected retirement accounts. In a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44679410/elizabeth-warren-urges-gop-to-grow-a-spine-as-trumps-tariff-push-sends-markets-tumbling">previous statement</a>, she urged Republicans to prioritize the American public over allegiance to Trump, highlighting the immediate need for a resolution to halt the economic chaos.

The retaliatory tariffs were seen as severe and sent markets across the world into turmoil. Trillions of dollars worth of wealth evaporated in the aftermath of the announcement.
On Tuesday, major indexes extended their slide, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing down 0.8% at 37,645.59 and the S&amp;P 500 falling nearly 1.6% to 4,982.77. The tech-heavy Nasdaq posted the sharpest drop, tumbling 2.1% to 15,267.91.

Elizabeth Warren Says Congress Has 'Power To Pull Our Economy Back' From The Brink As Don Bacon Moves To Limit Trump's Tariff Power: 'Need A Handful Of Republicans Not To Bend A Knee'

Bitcoin took a sharp dive to $81,000 after hitting highs of $88,000 during President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcement. The market initially reacted positively to the news of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, as it was lower than many had anticipated. However, just minutes later, Trump revealed additional higher tariffs on specific countries, causing markets—including Bitcoin—to reverse sharply.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's "Liberation Day" Tariffs Shake Markets</h2>
Trump on Wednesday announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs, branding the move as "Liberation Day." The policy imposes a 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the U.S., but many nations will face significantly higher rates based on how they tax U.S. goods.
For instance:
<ul>
<li>China will face a 34% tariff under the new policy.</li>
<li>Vietnam (46%), Taiwan (32%), Switzerland (31%), and India (26%) will all see much higher import duties.</li>
<li>Some of the steepest tariffs are hitting Cambodia (49%), Bangladesh (37%), and South Africa (30%).</li>
</ul>
Trump justified the move as a way to erase America's trade deficit and protect U.S. manufacturers. However, economists warn that the policy could lead to inflation and a global trade war, as other nations are likely to retaliate with tariffs on American goods. Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi cautioned that extended tariffs could push both the U.S. and its trading partners into recessions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin's Reaction: From Relief to Sell-Off</h2>
When Trump first announced the 10% across-the-board tariff, markets breathed a sigh of relief, as many expected harsher measures. This initial reaction pushed Bitcoin to $88,000. However, as Trump unveiled additional tariffs with higher rates on major trade partners, concerns over inflation and economic uncertainty sent risk assets tumbling—dragging Bitcoin down to $81,000.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Potential Bitcoin Reversal</h2>

On Friday, Bitcoin closed in the green, while U.S. stock indices experienced one of their worst days since 2020.

As seen on the chart below, Bitcoin has held up relatively well despite the high volatility of the past two weeks.
The bull case on the chart for Bitcoin is that the &#8220;divergence&#8221; continues to hold, meaning Bitcoin does not make a lower low below $76,560.
Within the next few weeks, as volatility eases, it should become clear whether Bitcoin is poised for a new run back up toward key upside price levels.

It&#8217;s important to remember that just because a market shows strength doesn&#8217;t mean it will move higher.
If U.S. equities continue to decline, Bitcoin will likely follow that trend, though its percentage drop may be smaller compared to previous instances.
The key data points to monitor for a potential Bitcoin reversal to the upside include its relative strength compared to the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44632021/bitcoins-first-real-test-in-an-uncertain-economy-key-levels-to-watch-amid-tariff-pressures">technical price levels mentioned</a>—one being the major swing low of $76,560—and Bitcoin&#8217;s reaction if the overall markets experience a short-term bounce.

Bitcoin Falls to $81K After Trump's Tariffs—Is a Violent Reversal Coming?

Dave Portnoy, the outspoken founder of Barstool Sports, <a href="https://x.com/stoolpresidente/status/1907812997105373364">posted</a> a simple question on X&nbsp; last week that hit a nerve in the crypto world: &#8220;If the point of Bitcoin is to be independent of the U.S. Dollar and nonregulated, why does it basically trade exactly like the U.S. stock market nowadays?&#8221;

</ul>
That one line summed up what a lot of casual investors have been wondering, especially as Bitcoin and crypto stocks took a dive following President Donald Trump's new round of tariffs on Wednesday.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin Drops After Tariff News</h2>
Bitcoin had been hovering near $88,000 before Trump&#8217;s announcement. Not long after the tariff policy was unveiled, it slipped below $83,000. It wasn&#8217;t alone. Stocks tanked in after-hours trading, with tech-heavy ETFs like Invesco QQQ (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) falling 4%.
Crypto-linked stocks also followed the same trend. MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) dropped 7%, Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) fell 6%, and Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) lost 9%.
So much for being &#8220;independent.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Does Bitcoin Move With Stocks?</h2>
Plenty of people chimed in to answer Portnoy's question. Some pointed to institutional involvement, others blamed emotions, and a few leaned on technical analysis.
&#8220;Bitcoin trades like a risk asset short term because it&#8217;s the most liquid, salable, 24/7 asset on Earth,&#8221; said MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. &#8220;In times of panic, traders sell what they can, not what they want to.&#8221;

And then there&#8217;s plain logic. &#8220;If you needed to pay rent what are you selling first? Apple stock or your crypto bags?&#8221; one user wrote.
Another replied, &#8220;Boom. When you realize big money has already hijacked bitcoin and it's no different than the stock market anymore.&#8221;
Others got sarcastic: &#8220;Day 1 of the bear market: Portnoy discovers what correlation means.&#8221; And: &#8220;It used to be a currency before it was hijacked and turned into a collectible.&#8221; Prominent analyst Benjamin Cowen also piled on, saying, &#8220;How can you be your age and write something like that?&#8221;
Some users defended Bitcoin&#8217;s original intent. &#8220;Traders are the froth. Hodlers are the floor,&#8221; one said. Another added, &#8220;Bitcoin is the best-performing asset over the last 15 years.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs, Inflation, and Market Fear</h2>
This latest Bitcoin drop didn&#8217;t come out of nowhere. Wall Street was already reeling from inflation data and weak consumer sentiment. On Friday, a few days before &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; The Dow Jones Industrial Average <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44626208/crypto-market-update-as-wall-street-sells-off-is-bitcoin-showing-strength-for-the-weeks-ahead">fell over 700 points</a>, the S&amp;P 500 slid 2%, and the Nasdaq (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDAQ#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) lost nearly 3%.
Then came Trump's tariff announcement, renewing trade war fears. The Atlanta Fed&#8217;s GDPNow <a href="https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow">forecast</a> now shows a 2.8% GDP decline for Q1, up from -3.7% on April 1.
While Bitcoin has shown some resilience compared to stocks, it's still moving in the same direction when fear hits.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could Bitcoin Break Away?</h2>
Some still believe in one of Bitcoin's original promises: a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44628685/bitcoin-is-a-realistic-global-reserve-asset-experts-say">decentralized hedge against economic chaos</a>. But for now, most agree that Bitcoin is still a risk-on asset, and it trades like one.&nbsp;
As Portnoy pointed out, it looks more and more like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44631522/bitcoin-as-trump-tariff-safe-haven-not-yet-but-might-decouple-over-time-expert-says">just another part of the system</a> it was meant to replace—&#8221;Market up, bitcoin up. Market down, bitcoin down.&#8221; Or, as Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki, <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1907928295104196974">said</a>, &#8220;BTC price movements are related to sentiment. Risk on, up. Risk off, down.&#8221;

"When I first got to L.A., [Johnson] said, ‘Shaq, it's okay to be famous and all that, but at some point, you want to start owning things,'" O'Neal told Daymond John of "Shark Tank" during the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/z5ZjtU70Oms?si=YLaMqmxBx7AmalRK">2020 Black Entrepreneurs Day event</a>.

Shaq, who famously torched his first million-dollar check on flashy cars and jewelry, admits he didn't know the first thing about taxes, saving, or investing when he was drafted. Even after signing a $40 million deal with the Orlando Magic, the financial lightbulb hadn't gone off. That came later — with Magic.
And let's talk about that Magic.
In 2023, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/magic-johnson/">Forbes officially named Johnson a billionaire</a>, making him just the fourth athlete in history to earn the title, alongside Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and LeBron James. But Johnson didn't get there by clinging to basketball contracts. He made his name in the business world — buying into Starbucks before most athletes were thinking about branding, and later owning major stakes in the Dodgers, Sparks, Los Angeles FC, and the Washington Commanders.
Shaq saw all that in real time. The glitz of NBA stardom was great — but what Johnson had? That was different. That was long-term.

After retiring in 2011, he didn't just license his name — he built an empire. Today, he's got stakes in everything from Papa John's to car washes to fitness centers, and he claims to earn more annually in retirement than he ever did as a player. He even went back to school, picking up an MBA and later a doctorate in education, all while absorbing lessons from real business owners, TV investors, and yes, still watching "Shark Tank" for good measure.
"I'm still learning now," Shaq told John. "I watch ‘Shark Tank' and I learn from you guys. I love to ask questions."
For anyone who still thinks being an athlete and being an entrepreneur live in separate arenas, Magic and Shaq have been proving them wrong for decades. One gave the advice. The other turned it into action.
Being famous pays. But owning things? That's what builds empires.

Shaq Says Billionaire Magic Johnson Gave Him the 'Best' Money Advice — Being Famous Is Cool, 'But at Some Point, You Want to Start Owning Things'

BofA Securities analysts Bryan D. Spillane, Lisa K. Lewandowski and Peter T. Galbo have put forward on Tuesday their research findings on consumer staple companies in the face of a potential recession.
The analysts said consumer staples have historically outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in most recent recessions, suggesting a defensive edge.
However, the analysts warned that current conditions, such as lingering high prices and weak volume growth, may limit their resilience in a future downturn.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44695622/amazon-touts-ai-milestone-says-new-model-outshines-gpt-4o-in-real-time-speech" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon Touts AI Milestone, Says New Model Outshines GPT-4o In Real-Time Speech</a>
Still, their limited exposure to new tariffs could make the sector more appealing than others, potentially helping sustain valuation multiples.
During recessions, the Consumer Staples sector stock prices are primarily influenced by earnings per share (EPS) rather than sales growth.
Analysis shows that forward EPS estimates account for over 90% of stock price movement across key subsectors like Beverages, Household &amp; Personal Care (HPC), Packaged Food, and Tobacco, with the correlation being the tightest Beverages and HPC.
The analysts noted that this highlights the critical importance of earnings strength when evaluating stock performance in uncertain economic conditions.
A review of six past recessions reveals that certain Consumer Staples stocks consistently outperformed the S&amp;P 500.
Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NYSE">CPB</a>), Colgate-Palmolive Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CL#NYSE">CL</a>), General Mills Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>), McCormick &amp; Co.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), and Hormel Foods Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRL#NYSE">HRL</a>) each posted a 100% success rate in outperforming the index during those downturns.
In the last four recessions with the most comprehensive data, McCormick, General Mills, and Church &amp; Dwight Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHD#NYSE">CHD</a>) delivered the strongest relative performance.
Top-performing Consumer Staples stocks in a potential downturn will likely share three traits: profit flexibility to offset revenue pressure and rising costs, strong U.S. manufacturing presence to limit tariff-related inflation, and solid balance sheets capable of sustaining share buybacks to boost earnings per share.
Analysts see McCormick, Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) and Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) as well-defended, with Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.

This Beverage Maker, Tobacco Company And Packaged Food Giant Outshine In A Recession

President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff announcements led to a sell-off in the stock market and prompted investors to move to safer assets such as Treasury bonds. The 10-year Treasury yield declined and the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped from 6.75% to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44695176/president-trump-is-fixing-america-grant-cardone-says-wants-you-to-invest-in-real-estate-invest-in-america"> 6.55% last week. </a>
Mortgage Rates: Despite the initial drop, mortgage rates rebounded as Treasury yields ticked back up. On Monday, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage surged to 6.82%, marking the largest single-day increase of the year.&nbsp;
The current rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage sits at 6.85%, <a href="https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/markets/mortgage-rates-04082025">according</a> to Mortgage News Daily.&nbsp;

Home Sales: Pending home sales ticked higher in early April with 72,000 newly pending single-family home sales and 15,000 condo transactions last week — the highest weekly volume since late April 2024, <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics">according</a> to the National Association of Realtors. 
"Despite the modest monthly increase, contract signings remain well below normal historical levels," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.&nbsp;
"A meaningful decline in mortgage rates would help both demand and supply — demand by boosting affordability and supply by lessening the power of the mortgage rate lock-in effect."
Buyer Demand: Recent mortgage rate stability encouraged buyers, with purchase applications reaching their highest growth rate since late 2023 in early April. However, Trump's new tariff policies and China's retaliation have reintroduced uncertainty and volatility to the stock market and mortgage rates. 
"The spring housing season is beginning with more sellers and a growing number of homes for sale," said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com.
