OFFICIAL TRUMP

<p>The S&amp;P 500 index rose 4% in early trading, but closed down 1.57% after the White House announced it would push forward with tariffs on China. The bond market also experienced significant volatility, with the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield surging to its largest two-day gain in five years, and the 10-year Treasury yield climbing back to around 4.3%. Bitcoin, which hit a high of 80,000 last night, fell sharply, dropping below 75K at one point, and was reported at $75,596 as of the deadline. The Fear and Greed Index plunged to an "extreme fear" level of 15, with nearly $400 million liquidated across the network.</p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/98955161f56c4089846aa9d1ef54ccc8.jpg">
<h2 id="header-0">Fear Takes Over: Volatility Soars, Dragging Stocks and Bonds Down</h2>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 index surged 4% in early trading—the biggest gain since 2022—amid signs that Trump was willing to negotiate trade deals. However, it reversed course after the White House signaled it would continue tit-for-tat retaliatory measures against China. The market panic index, VIX, spiked significantly after an initial pullback, closing at its highest level since the pandemic began.</p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/23773f042da64b899d1ec8c974905c96.jpg">
<p>U.S. Treasury yields, after a dizzying surge on Monday, dropped sharply again before the 30-year yield spiked in late trading, marking its largest two-day increase in five years. This came as weak debt auctions raised concerns among overseas investors about a potential buyer strike. In the forex market, speculators rushed to buy the Japanese yen and Swiss franc—two safe-haven currencies during times of crisis.</p>

<h2 id="header-1">Fear index drops to "extreme fear" 15, nearly $400 million liquidated across the network</h2>
<p>According to CoinMarketCap data, the current market fear index has fallen to 15, matching its historical low. The Alternative Fear Index dropped to 18, a new low since March 4, while CoinGlass’s index fell to 18, the lowest since February 27.</p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/897b6a9cb28e4aedb8ce6b25ce6f0db5.jpg">
<p>CoinGlass data shows that over the past 24 hours, $390 million was liquidated across the network, with $296 million from long positions, affecting 134,000 traders. While the figures suggest some easing, total open interest across the network has declined 2.38% since yesterday, signaling poor liquidity. Many retail investors may now be in a state of panicked helplessness or have already been wiped out.</p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/a5330fdd3b11498eab0757e7342d5d83.jpg">
