Bitcoin Liquidations Surge Amidst Market Volatility Following Tariff Escalation

Bitcoin’s price has experienced a significant decline after hitting the $4,500 mark last week. Short-term gains following Wednesday’s Liberation Day hype were short-lived as escalating tariff wars triggered a bearish trend, resulting in Bitcoin trading below $82,000 at press time and dropping around 6%. Analysts attribute this volatility to increased competition from DeFi applications and rising institutional investment.
