Bitcoin whipsawed from a bottom of $103,000 to $115,000 in 72 hours as Trump's tariff tweets triggered $19 billion in liquidations—yet again proving that peak retail panic is the market's loudest "buy" signal.
What Happened: In an X post on Oct. 14, data provider Santiment data showed Bitcoin trading around $107,000 amid fears of renewed tariffs.
After Trump confirmed 100% tariffs on China, BTC dropped further to roughly $103,000, sparking widespread retail panic and over $19 billion in liquidations on Friday alone.
Social data revealed that a growing portion of crypto conversations centered on Trump's trade stance, with the red line for social dominance peaking as U.S.-China tariff fears dominated discourse.
When Trump later suggested the tariffs might be lifted, Bitcoin rebounded above $115,000, demonstrating a pattern of fear-driven selloffs followed by rapid recoveries, a recurring trend in 2025.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that social sentiment around Bitcoin plunged to its lowest level in years following Friday's crash.
