Donald Trump reportedly signaled he may not pick a rate-friendly Federal Reserve chair, and Bitcoin has seemingly reacted, dropping nearly -3% over the weekend following the President\u2019s press conference on Friday (January 16).<\/p>\n

BTC hovered just under $97,000 prior to the press conference, but Trump\u2019s remarks on the Fed chair, coupled with the President imposing tariffs on a number of European countries, sparked a sizeable pullback across crypto, resulting in nearly $900M in liquidations.<\/p>\n
