Damn it feels good to be a Bitcoin BULL — Scottie Pippen (@ScottiePippen) May 11, 2025 According to a report published by on-chain data aggregator Santiment, the Bitcoin price jump took place as U.S. and Chinese government representatives came to an agreement in Geneva to lift trade tariffs against their countries for 90 days to ease international tensions on the global trade and financial markets. The U.S. is reportedly set to reduce the tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, and China will do likewise, cutting down trade fees from 125% to 10% for three months. Bitcoin and stock markets reacted bullishly, with BTC and major stock indexes going up. However, Santiment stressed, it is important to wait for an official statement to be made by Donald Trump.
