Bitcoin rebounded on Thursday, rising 7% to $82,146.2 by 01:56 ET (05:56 GMT), tracking a broad rally in global markets after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 90-day delay on steep reciprocal tariffs.

The relief in risk sentiment, however, was tempered by ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions, with no exemptions granted to China and tariffs rising on both sides.

Key Drivers Behind the Bitcoin Rebound

  • Trump's 90-day pause on tariffs for major U.S. trading partners triggered a relief rally across equities, currencies, and crypto.

  • Bitcoin bounced from a five-month low, but gains underperformed relative to the stock market and forex pairs.

  • Tensions with China persisted: Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 120%, while Beijing retaliated with 84% duties on U.S. exports.

Broader Market Correlation

Crypto markets moved in line with traditional risk assets:

  • The S&P 500 surged 10% on Wednesday, its largest one-day gain since 2008.

  • Bitcoin, while positive, lagged in magnitude, reflecting lingering crypto-specific concerns.

Strategy's Bitcoin Loss Caps Crypto Upside

Additional pressure came from reports that Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, suffered a sharp loss in the mark-to-market value of its digital assets.

Investor sentiment remains fragile amid:

  • Volatility in crypto company earnings

  • Regulatory uncertainty around digital asset classifications

  • Reduced institutional buying in recent weeks

Outlook

Bitcoin's rise reflects broader relief across risk assets, but trade-related uncertainty remains elevated. The lack of tariff exemptions for China could trigger further volatility if U.S.-China negotiations falter.
