Donald Trump initially seemed to want to wage a trade war with the whole world. It is now clear that everything mainly focuses on China. From circles of the Trump government, it even says that Europe should be forced to choose between American and Chinese technology. In addition became knownthat China temporarily canceled all orders from Boeing.
The conflict between the two world powers has been fully flared up. What does that mean for Bitcoin And the stock markets?

The trade war is not over yet
In any case, these developments show that the Trade war is far from over. In the past few days, the financial markets have recovered somewhat after Donald Trump seemed to be back on certain topics.
However, if we have learned something in the past few weeks, then that hasty conclusions can be dangerous. After all, we are dealing with a Trump government that acts rather unpredictable and bold.
It is difficult enough for companies to make long -term plans – not to mention what the current climate for investors looks like.
It is not without reason that the gold price has already risen significantly this year, while the rest of the financial markets are rather disappointed. Only the German Dax can still assert itself well with a return of +6.16 %. The US stock exchange indices, Bitcoin and the AEX continue to find it difficult.
S&P 500 could fall even deeper
The S&P 500 could still fall significantly from the current price level. The most important stock market index in the world has recently fallen below several significant average (see graphic), but could still drop up to the 200-week-exponential gliding-end average. This is 4,752 points, about 650 points below the current status.
In previous times of crisis, we have often observed that the S&P 500 fell to this average level. Therefore, we should not be surprised if something similar happens soon – especially if Donald Trump continues his trade war in the current form.
Thus, there is currently no favorable environment for risky systems. Under these conditions, neither Bitcoin nor the S&P 500 can rise to new record heights. To do this, a significant part of the uncertainties would have to disappear from the market.
