Bitcoin Holds Above $100K Despite Monday Pullback

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.

Regulatory Developments on Watch

SEC Chair Paul Atkins outlined plans to propose new crypto-token regulations covering issuance, custody, token distributions, and exemptions. His goal: a “rational regulatory framework” that curbs bad actors while providing clear rules for markets.

What to Watch Next

1. Sustained $100K Support: A close above $100K on higher volume would reinforce bullish sentiment.

2. Trade Talks Follow-Up: Any setbacks in U.S.-China consultations could reignite volatility.

3. Regulatory Proposals: Details from the SEC on token rules will influence institutional adoption and market structure.
