Bitcoin jumped more than 7% to top $82,000 after US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on planned tariff hikes for several countries. The move boosted investor appetite for riskier assets, driving crypto markets higher. Bitcoin hit an intraday high of $83,453 and was trading at $81,917.94 with a $1.61 trillion market cap. The tariff pause excludes China, which now faces a 125% tariff after retaliating with an 84% duty on US goods. Despite ongoing trade tensions, the crypto market responded positively, with total market cap rising 7% to $2.61 trillion. Ethereum surged 9.8% to $1,610.55, while XRP and Solana each gained over 10%, and BNB rose 5%. Analysts noted Bitcoin's break above the $81,800 resistance could signal a sustained bullish trend. Top gainers include Fartcoin +44%, Flare +35%, Pendle, and Ondo (both +22%).
