President Donald Trump has threatened bigger import tariffs against the European Union (EU) and Canada if they worked together “to do economic harm” to the U.S.

“If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!” Trump said in a late Wednesday night post on Truth Social.

Financial markets, however, remain steady in the wake of the new threat, with BTC in stasis below $88,000. Germany’s DAX futures fell 0.3% while their Wall Street counterparts traded flat to positive.

The resilience in the market likely stems from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s recent indication that the inflationary pressures resulting from tariffs could be transitory.

A seasoned crypto trader is warning that the current bounce in the altcoin market will likely be short-lived.

Pseudonymous analyst The Flow Horse tells his 266,500 followers on the social media platform X that he thinks crypto is still bearish and the latest rally will probably lead to another leg down.

According to the analyst, the current bounce has not changed the bearish market structure of crypto.

“Bearish still on the high time frame until proven otherwise.

I can’t see any reason why this isn’t a relief rally and markets won’t continue to suck the next few months.

Chart is still broken.”

Elaborating on his bearish stance on crypto, the trader says on the instant messaging platform Telegram that the downtrend will likely persist unless Bitcoin (BTC) flips a key price area into support.

“I think we are at the part where the correction can be, as I said the other day, one that is more through time than through price.

I will be looking at how FARTCOIN, HYPE, PEPE, ENA and BERA continue to trade.

Being that it is a Bitcoin dominance macro trend, there is no reason to assume that changes, and any success in alts is going to come down to if BTC can turn this $90,000-$93,000 level into support.”

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $87,813.
