The US stock market just broke every known rule of trading, economics, and logic—live on Monday morning. Wall Street kicked off with a meltdown after President Donald Trump pushed higher tariffs across major trading partners, triggering full-blown panic. By the time the dust settled, $3 trillion in market cap had vanished in under 30 minutes. This is the first time in history traders watched that kind of money appear and disappear faster than a crypto rug pull. Trump opened the week by warning of even more aggressive tariff hikes against China on Truth Social, as the two countries escalated threats. That came right after the administration rolled out sweeping new tariffs that already hammered global trade and sent shockwaves through every asset class. The S&P 500 dropped 1.5%, dragging it nearly 20% down from its February high, putting it squarely inside bear market territory. That drop erased almost everything investors gained in the last year.

Source: TradingView White House rumor sparks $3 trillion rally, then crash The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 755 points, a 2% drop that followed two straight 1,500-point collapses last week—the worst back-to-back hits in history. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.2% as investors dumped tech stocks to raise cash. It’s now 24% below its previous record. For a moment this morning, it looked like things were turning around. A fake headline did that. At 10:10 AM ET, word started spreading that the White House might approve a 90-day tariff pause. Five minutes later, CNBC reported Trump was weighing that pause for every country except China. At 10:18 AM ET, the S&P 500 surged, gaining $3 trillion in value in just eight minutes. That gain was entirely based on nothing real. At 10:25 AM ET, someone inside the administration told CNBC they didn’t know where the rumor came from. One minute later, CNBC walked back the headline. At 10:34 AM ET, the White House officially called the story “fake news.” By 10:40 AM ET, the S&P 500 had dumped $2.5 trillion of the value it had just gained. That 30-minute swing broke records and left traders scrambling. Never before has Wall Street seen that much capital whip around off the back of pure rumor. Traders turn to moving average while Larry Fink calls recession While the market kept bleeding, traders started looking for any level that could stop the drop. Jonathan Krinsky, head market technician at BTIG, told CNBC that the S&P 500’s 200-week moving average—currently sitting at 4,674—could be the bottom. That’s 8% below where the index closed Friday. If it crashes through that level, it’ll wipe out all of last year’s gains and return the index to 2023 territory, when it ended the year at 4,769. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, told the Economic Club of New York that CEOs across industries already see the US as being deep in recession. “The canary is sick,” Fink said, warning he wouldn’t rule out another 20% crash from here. That wasn’t optimism—it was a flat report. Fink added that the current climate still offers long-term opportunities, but only for those who can afford to sit through hell. Larry also called out Washington’s failure to deliver the growth agenda it promised, saying the Trump administration needed to follow through with tax reform, reduced regulation, and faster approval for infrastructure projects. Those were the things he said would put pressure on the economy to actually grow, rather than just bounce off panic cycles. During his interview with Bloomberg’s Erik Schatzker, Larry said, “The economy is weakening as we speak.” He said people don’t realize how tariffs hit regular Americans. “Most Americans don’t understand the extent to which tariffs are going to affect them,” Larry said. He added that 62% of Americans own equities, which means most people are directly exposed to this chaos whether they know it or not.

The post Solana Back Above $100 as Bulls Gain Control—Will SOL Price Reclaim $110? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The Solana price is on the verge of rising over the bearish captivity while the bears are utilizing all their strength to push back the levels below $100. The global markets faced a dreadful weekend following Trump’s Liberation Day. The global crypto market cap plunged by over $300 billion but with the beginning of the American trading session, things seem to have turned in favor of the bulls. Bitcoin price reclaims $78,000 while Solana climbs above $100 after marking lows around $95. This suggests the traders utilized the buy-the-dip opportunity, which could pave the way for a decent recovery. Solana price has been facing massive upward pressure since the start of the year that has dragged the price lower by more than 60%. The token formed constant lower highs and lows, hinting towards the bears holding a tight grip over the rally. In such a scenario, a slight rise in the price may not be considered as a rise above the bearish influence until the pivotal resistance is secured. Presently, the SOL price is juggling at a threshold, and hence a slight drop below the range could squash the bullish possibilities. The bears dragged the price below the crucial support levels but the bulls have managed to lift the levels within the range. Despite this, the bearish impact on the rally continues to persist as the Ichimoku cloud has not confirmed a bullish reversal, as the base line and conversion line continue to descend. Meanwhile, the RSI is trying for a rebound, which is yet to be validated and once done, the rebound could be confirmed. In case of a rebound, the SOL price is required to rise to secure levels above $118, which could squash the bearish possibilities. Otherwise, the possibility of a continued descending trend may drag the levels to the 2024 lows below $80. However, one of the smartest plays during this sell-off is to accumulate a Solana position in anticipation of the SOL ETF later this year.

Nearly every major cryptocurrency is down Monday as Trump's trade war batters markets. But Fartcoin keeps drawing (and bewildering) investors.
Solana has taken a sharp nosedive, losing nearly 22% of its value and trading around $98.09. This steep drop has sent shockwaves through the crypto community, sparking fears of an imminent larger breakdown. SOL is now flashing red across the board, with sellers firmly in control and bulls scrambling to defend critical levels. The decline highlights increasing bearish sentiment, likely fueled by technical breakdowns, weak market confidence, and rising concerns over broader economic trends. With the $100 psychological barrier now broken, all eyes are on the next key support zones. Is A Deeper Correction On The Horizon? In his recent post on X, King_Ab highlighted that Solana is currently trading around $98.09, marking a sharp 21.84% drop from its previous close. He further noted that the day’s trading session has been highly volatile, with SOL reaching a high of $120.07 and dipping as low as $98.06, underscoring the intense pressure in the market. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Freefall—Can It Hold Above The $100 Danger Zone? According to King_Ab, this substantial drop in Solana reflects the broader downturn witnessed across the cryptocurrency market over the past week. The decline isn’t isolated but rather part of a wider trend of risk-off sentiment as investors react to global macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting market dynamics. He pointed out that Solana’s market capitalization currently stands at approximately $51.15 billion, while its 24-hour trading volume hovers around $5.17 billion, indicating sustained trading activity despite the sharp correction. This combination of declining price and high volume could suggest either panic-driven sell-offs or aggressive repositioning by market participants Critical Support Breached: Can Solana Hold The Line Below $100? Solana’s drop below the key $100 mark signals a potential shift in momentum from bullish to bearish. This level has previously acted as a solid support zone, providing a bounce point during corrections. However, with the recent 21% decline, that line has been breached, and market sentiment is growing increasingly cautious. Related Reading: Solana Faces Defining Level At $120 – Will History Repeat? For SOL to regain its bullish momentum, it needs to swiftly reclaim and sustain levels above $100 to avoid further downside pressure. If this key level remains unheld, Solana might drop to the next support zone around $79.25. A break below this level could accelerate bearish sentiments, opening the door for an extended decline toward the $58.25 support area, where the bears may gain additional control. At this critical juncture, it’s essential to closely watch the price action for signs of stabilization or the risk of continued capitulation. As the bearish volume rises, Solana’s ability to reclaim the broken support level will likely dictate its short-term trajectory. Whether the price can recover above key levels will be a decisive factor in determining if the downtrend will persist or if a reversal is on the horizon.

Price fluctuations continue to define crypto markets, but what truly matters is how projects respond. In the last three months, BNB declined 13.5% while maintaining relevance within the Binance ecosystem. Solana dropped 33%, largely due to lingering uncertainty from FTX-linked holdings. Both moves reflect familiar patterns during broader corrections. BlockDAG , however, has taken a more proactive approach. Following Keynote 3, the project has transitioned from theory to application—launching a live testnet, delivering physical miners, and releasing a mobile app. Its ongoing crypto presale has reached $212 million, generating a 2,380% ROI for early adopters since batch 1. BNB (BNB): Holding Value While Navigating a 13.5% Price Drop BNB, the native token tied to Binance’s ecosystem, declined from $704.28 on January 1, 2025, to $610.11 by April 1—marking a 13.5% slide. This drop is in line with wider market trends and investor repositioning. Still, BNB maintains a significant presence with a market cap of $89.39 billion. Its value continues to be supported by its integration across Binance’s products and services. Analysts suggest that as long as BNB holds above the $500 mark, the token could find footing and potentially recover. For now, market participants are watching Binance’s platform developments and broader crypto sentiment to gauge its next move. Solana (SOL): A 33% Slide Reflects Market Pressure & Ecosystem Concerns Solana (SOL) saw sharper losses over the past quarter, falling from $188.87 on January 1 to $126.68 by April 1, representing a 33% drop. Contributing factors include general market volatility and concerns tied to the FTX bankruptcy, which raised fears about token sell-offs. Despite the price pressure, Solana still holds a solid market cap and remains a key platform for developers. Some analysts anticipate a recovery toward the $200 level, while others see the potential for further downside below $120. The outlook depends on how quickly network developments progress and whether broader market sentiment stabilizes. Keynote 3 Signals BlockDAG’s Shift From Plans to Performance In a space filled with big promises and delayed deliveries, BlockDAG used Keynote 3 to demonstrate actual results. Rather than outlining distant goals, the team showcased real progress—highlighting a running testnet, a live mobile app, and mining hardware already reaching users. The presale numbers reflect the response. BlockDAG has raised $212 million, now in batch 27 at $0.0248. With over 19.1 billion coins sold and a 2,380% ROI from batch 1, the project has moved beyond speculation and into verified traction. The X1 Miner App is already operational. The X30 and X100 miners are shipping. The Beta Testnet V1 is live. With more than 140,000 holders, the demand is clearly visible. Keynote 3 wasn’t just a presentation—it was proof. It redefined expectations around blockchain updates by leading with delivery. For many in the space, this moment marked a clear shift in how project credibility is earned. Execution Defines the Difference in 2025 BNB remains a reliable component of Binance’s utility offering, even after a 13.5% price adjustment. Solana, though still favored by builders, is navigating a 33% decline tied to external uncertainty. Both continue to play important roles, yet neither has reshaped what on-chain delivery looks like this year. BlockDAG, on the other hand, has used its Keynote 3 moment to display measurable progress. A live testnet, functional mining app, hardware deliveries, and 140,000+ holders—all achieved during an ongoing presale—are setting a different standard. With $212 million raised and 2,380% ROI since batch 1, BlockDAG is showing that in 2025, performance speaks louder than projection.

Bitcoin's value has plummeted below $75,000, marking a significant decline amid global market turmoil triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies. The cryptocurrency fell to an intraday low of $74,637, reflecting a broader downturn in financial markets as investors react to escalating trade tensions. The drop in Bitcoin's price comes as part of a wider sell-off across risk assets, with over $1.41 million in crypto positions liquidated in the past 24 hours. The decline follows Trump's announcement of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, with higher rates targeted at specific countries, including a 34% tariff on Chinese goods and a 20% tariff on products from the European Union. Ether also fell to $1,446, marking an 18.5% decline over the past week. To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io
