Bitcoin Stumbles as Musk-Trump Feud Goes Nuclear – Here’s Why Crypto Markets Are Sweating

Elon Musk and Donald Trump just turned their Twitter spat into a full-blown crypto market tremor. Bitcoin's price wobbled as the billionaires' clash escalated—proof that even decentralized assets aren't immune to old-school ego wars.

The feud's ripple effect

When two of the world's most followed personalities go head-to-head, algorithms flinch. Trading volumes spiked 40% during peak mudslinging hours, with BTC liquidity thinning faster than a Wall Street banker's patience during a bear market.

Why crypto hates celebrity drama

Market makers hate uncertainty more than SEC subpoenas. The Musk-Trump faceoff created exactly the kind of sentiment whiplash that turns orderly corrections into panic sell-offs. Meanwhile, institutional traders are probably placing bets on who blinks first—the orange politician or the meme lord.

The silver lining? Volatility creates opportunity. Just ask the degenerate traders who made bank shorting the dips. After all, in crypto, someone else's feud is another person's leveraged trading signal.

In response, Musk said to “CUT IT ALL. Now,” believing that the government must do everything to cut spending and not just continue to raise the debt ceiling.

Amid the renewed feud, Tesla stock price has dipped more than 10% in a week. TSLA stock closed 1.84% lower at $317.66 on Monday, falling 2% further to $311.19 after market hours as Musk took on Trump.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin price was trading 1.34% down at $106,834. The 24-hour low and high were $106,759 and $108,317, respectively. Traders must watch $106,100 closely as breaking the level could trigger huge liquidations.
