$BTC Price Approaches $100K Following #Trump's U.K. Trade Deal Announcement


$BTC briefly touched $99,000 early Thursday, reaching its highest level since February and moving within striking distance of the $100,000 milestone.


The rally followed President Trump's announcement of a "major trade deal" with the U.K., potentially easing #tariff tensions that have affected global markets.


$BTC is now up 2.6% after pulling back from a daily high, as investors respond positively to diplomatic progress after months of tariff-driven economic uncertainty.


The Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% further supported the #crypto market, with Chair Powell noting "heightened uncertainty" but a "solid" economic position.


Market experts note $BTC is functioning as a "diversifier" rather than a true "safe haven," with its correlation to the S&P 500 fluctuating between approximately -0.2 and 0.4 over the past year.
