{"content":"🚨 China Just Flipped the Pressure Back on the U.S.—Crypto Was First to Feel It China came in with strength today and the timing couldn’t be sharper. Exports jumped 8.3% and imports rose 7.4% in September, showing no weakness even with tariff threats hanging over them. At the same time, rare earth exports dropped 31% under tighter controls—Beijing didn’t talk, it applied pressure where it hurts supply chains. Markets in China cracked on impact: CSI300 slid about 1.8%, Shanghai was down roughly 1.3%, and the Hang Seng dumped over 3%. Rare earth and chip-linked plays were the only green spots—everyone knows where the leverage sits. Crypto felt it before Wall Street caught the drop. Bitcoin slipped around 8%, briefly touching the $104K zone, and over $19B in positions liquidated as leverage got wiped. That was the flush. Then the tone shifted. Trump tweeted yesterday that things with China were “settled” and not to worry. Beijing followed with a softer clarification—exports aren’t stopping, they’re being licensed. The reaction flipped fast. The dollar pulled back, gold ripped to a fresh record, and $BTC bounced back toward $114.8K today. Fear trade hit first, hedge trade answered right after. This wasn’t just headlines—it was pressure, impact, and reversal in real time. China showed it can absorb and counter. The U.S. moved from threat to damage control in 24 hours. Crypto once again reacted before the stock market even finished processing it.
