President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 90-day suspension of his sweeping tariff war has triggered a stunning rebound in both the U.S. stock and cryptocurrency markets. Just days after suffering a brutal sell-off fueled by aggressive tariff threats, global markets have now staged one of their most remarkable comebacks in recent memory.

Earlier this week, Trump launched a barrage of tariffs targeting multiple nations, including China, Canada, and — in a bizarre twist — even an uninhabited penguin island. The move sent shockwaves through financial markets, erasing over $1.5 trillion from U.S. equities and dragging major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum deep into the red.

However, Trump’s unexpected pivot — a 90-day halt to tariffs for most countries, excluding China — has flipped the narrative. The result: a $4 trillion surge in the U.S. stock market and a $2.5 trillion boost in the global crypto market within just 15 minutes of the announcement.

Ethereum (ETH) jumped 15% to over $1,600, while XRP soared 15.3% past the $2 mark. The reversal also sparked massive liquidations, with over $587 million in positions wiped out, including $374 million in short bets.

Market sentiment has turned euphoric. Analysts now speculate that the rally may be far from over, as investors reassess their strategies amid shifting geopolitical tides. The tariff truce, though temporary, is being interpreted as a sign that diplomacy could prevail — at least for now.

The image circulating online of an “endless sea of green” captures the mood perfectly: optimism has returned. With alliances shifting and economic forecasts improving, traders are now eyeing the next 90 days as a potential golden window for profit.

While the tariff war may reignite once the suspension ends, markets are making it clear — for now, relief is bullish.
