The United States has reportedly reached a trade deal with China, the world’s largest manufacturer.
According to a BBC report on Thursday, Oct. 30, US President Donald Trump reached an agreement with Chinese President Xi Jinping over tariffs and rare earths in a meeting in South Korea.
While the specific details of the trade deal between the two leading economies haven’t been revealed yet, BBC reports that the “fentanyl tariff” has been lowered from 20% to 10%.
Where Does Crypto Stand?The cryptocurrency market witnessed a bloodbath on Oct. 11, with liquidations reaching $19.35 billion, after Trump threatened to increase the tariffs on China by an extra 100%.
With the trade deal, however, the market isn’t seeing a sudden reaction since the traders and investors are still showing signs of uncertainty.
In addition, the US Federal Reserve cut the interest rates by 0.25% on Wednesday, Oct. 29, Coinspeaker reported. The Fed also hinted at ending the quantitative tightening by Dec. 1.
The reduced tariffs and declining interest rates could stabilize global and local supply chains, and potentially increase the appetite for high-risk investments, at least for the short term.
When the Fed cuts rates, borrowing costs drop, liquidity rises, and investors look for higher-return assets, which could also mean having a relatively higher risk.
Historically, the rate cuts have pushed money from bonds and cash into risk assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and tech stocks.
This time, the market went the opposite way.

Moreover, CMC data shows that the investor sentiment dropped from neutral 42 to 34, indicating fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

The rise of long positions from whales, as noted by Lookonchain, could potentially trigger positive sentiment among retail investors. However, if long liquidations continue rising, the crypto market might dive into another bearish consolidation or even a bloodbath.
It’s important to note that the rate cut and the US-China trade deal will likely bring inflows to financial markets, including cryptocurrencies.
