Ah, the markets, ever so fickle! Bitcoin, that capricious creature, decided to wake up from its slumber this fine Sunday afternoon, leaping by several thousand dollars to surpass a most impressive $114,000. Ethereum, along with its fellow altcoins, followed suit with what one might call ‘enthusiastic’ gains, and all within the space of an hour! Quite the spectacle for those who adore dramatic, if fleeting, fortunes. 😏
This sudden surge comes after reports that the ‘threats’ uttered by none other than US President Donald Trump on Friday may have been somewhat… exaggerated? Yes, it seems the ever-tense relations between Washington and Beijing may not be as catastrophic as once thought. Oh, what a relief, for investors, at least! 🙄
It appears, dear readers, that investors have suddenly woken to a rather grand piece of news from the land of China:
The tariff crash on October 10th may have been nothing more than a misunderstanding between Trump and Xi. Oh, how charmingly simple! Just a little communication error that sent the markets into a frenzy. 😅
The rare earth export control news was, according to The Kobeissi Letter, released 26 hours before Trump’s dramatic pronouncement. Who knew that timing could play such a role in global economics? 🧐

It seems the US might have misinterpreted the true nature of China’s rare earth export controls. After Trump’s bombastic tariff announcement, Beijing clarified that these controls were hardly a full export ban. No, dear market, they are simply a ‘regulation-compliant’ measure for some applications. Not the end of the world, after all. 🤷♂️
“We, in the midst of the market downturn last Friday, saw Trump’s 100% tariff as merely a bargaining chip. But with China’s statement, we now believe the likelihood of this tariff actually going into effect is… incredibly low,” the analysts observed with a touch of skepticism. 🎭
So, it appears that the cryptocurrency market’s biggest liquidation event, which wiped out more than $19 billion in less than a day, may have been caused by this charmingly massive misunderstanding. Who could have guessed? 🙄
US Vice President JD Vance, ever the voice of reason, chimed in on Sunday, expressing appreciation for the ‘friendship between Trump and Xi.’ Yes, indeed, it’s always a good idea when global leaders find common ground… or at least pretend to. Vance also reassured the masses that Trump is ‘willing to be a reasonable negotiator with China.’ Phew! What a relief. 😬
And thus, as a result of this sudden shift in the geopolitical wind, Bitcoin, which had been lingering below $112,000 earlier in the day, surged by more than two grand, peaking at $114,500 before retracing just a smidge. A bit of a roller coaster, one might say. 🎢
As for Ethereum, it joined the rally with an impressive surge, now nearing $4,100. And let’s not forget the altcoins, such as BNB, which shot up by more than 12%, now hovering close to $1,300. Truly, the altcoins are keeping up with the main event. MNT, TAO, ASTER, and PENGU all made substantial strides, each with double-digit gains. Oh, the joy of watching these volatile markets! 😏
