Good morning, everyone! The latest update comes from Lucas James on the blocknewsx.com website. My previous communication on March 16, along with my March 16 article, confirmed that the day of March 17 holds significant importance for cryptocurrency markets. Why? Today, there are significant risks for the market because of trade wars alongside tariffs and crucial developments that may rescue or worsen its current condition. The following explanation details the upcoming situation, which matters specifically for those who own alternative coins that are similar to my situation. On X
The Trade War Threat: A $9.5 Trillion Problem
The discussion begins with a topic that cryptographers may notice only indirectly through trade-related policies. The thought that trade war matters do not influence our market is completely incorrect, according to my assessment. The latest data from US and EU trade fee issues reveals concerning data points. A worldwide business loss reaching $9.5 trillion threatens to materialize if President Trump maintains trade pressures against other countries. Yes, trillion with a “T”!
Consider the size of that number over the next few seconds. A trillion-dollar loss appears when financial markets experience significant collapses. But $9.5 trillion? That’s massive. The spell of decline caused by this situation will decrease all market sectors, including the S&P and the Dow, international markets, and, obviously, cryptocurrency. The substantial impact of these business losses will first affect major corporations before expanding throughout the economy. I maintain that this ongoing tariff war must stop for all reasons. No matter what positive news arrives,s we will experience limited improvement until a favourable outcome between the USA and China emerges. Large sums of money are involved to the extent that everything feels at risk.

Trump Stands Firm Against His Position Regarding Tariffs
Trump maintains his strong position against implementing tariffs no matter what. Trump has repeatedly refused to allow exceptions in his policy because he will target steel products and aluminium goods alongside foreign countries. On April 2, Trump will apply reciprocal tariffs to every U.S. trading partner and additional taxes on automobiles and metals. Trump stated that previous presidents surrendered American wealth and wanted to retrieve it through his “take it back” strategy. National protection has valid reasons as it is sound to safeguard your home country. But doing it this fast? It’s going to hurt everyone. The combination of economic disarray will create business losses and decreased GDP values while causing inflation to rise, which may eventually trigger a feared economic recession. The potential arrival of this economic trouble could happen unexpectedly to us all.
Everyone understands that putting America in the first position remains the objective. The continuous trade war will ultimately lead to cryptocurrency becoming exposed without any protection. New updates about this matter will be released tonight, so keep watching for announcements.
Can Anything Save the Day?
The situation demands alternative solutions because trade barriers continue to stay in effect. Lucas James has two potential solutions related to the current week’s circumstances. The March 19 FOMC meeting serves as point number one. I’m hoping—and expecting—a rate cut. The monthly increase in recession prospects rose from 25% to 40% at the same time that inflation was escalating. A rate reduction would create calm market conditions and potentially soothe some of the damages from trade tariffs. Trump has sought these actions previously, which demonstrate his serious intentions behind them.
M2 represents the money supply,y which the experts refer to as such. An increase in system cash could work as protection for volatile Bitcoin along with other altcoins. These represent the two principal instruments the Federal Reserve could deploy to maintain stability even though it remains uncertain about potential measures. The following insights will emerge following tomorrow’s CPI release and Wednesday’s FOMC meeting. I’ll keep you posted!

Quick Hits: Bitcoin and Beyond
The Central Bank of South Korea declared that a strategic Bitcoin reserve would be impossible to achieve despite the proposal. The central bank representatives reject Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because of their supposed market instability despite acknowledging a strong presentation. The rejection of Bitcoin by South Korea’s central bank creates challenges for Bitcoin bulls, although it does not mark their definitive elimination. Fear continues to climb on the index to 32, although the situation is neither alarming nor comforting. The price of Bitcoin remains within the same range between $78,000 and $87,000, which I pointed out on March 16, and has fluctuated between $80,000 and $85,000 recently. The FOMC delivers the good news that may lead to Bitcoin testing in a price range between $88,000 and $90,000. The lack of good news from FOMC has Bitcoin on the verge of falling to potentially reach as low as $69,000. Regardless of the current situation, I believe a bullish trend will occur shortly. People must stay patient because the upcoming Bitcoin bull market is approaching.
That’s it for now. Check back tonight for the next twist in this story. Does the current trade war with tariffs stand a chance of survival, or will a Federal Reserve rate cut emerge as the necessary save?
