Outlook: Cautiously bullish with macro risks in play

George (CryptoRUs) lays out a volatile but potentially bullish week ahead. Bitcoin is holding above $80K and showing signs of resilience, but macro headlines are dominating the narrative. Here's what’s shaping the week:

🔥 Tech Tariff Drama Could Spark a Rally

Key Highlights:
  • Trump reversed harsh 145% China tariffs on electronics like smartphones, PCs, and solar panels.

  • This was seen as a big win for tech stocks — George expects a strong bounce in tech that could spill over to crypto.

  • Apple, Tesla, and chipmakers (NVIDIA, AMD) were set to be hit hard, but this exemption gives them breathing room.

😬 But Cold Water Came Fast

Key Highlights:
  • Howard Lutnick (financial exec) warned that new semiconductor tariffs could be coming in a month or two.

  • This could erase the bullish effect of the tariff reversal — markets hate this kind of uncertainty.

💸 Bond Yields Are Surging

Key Highlights:
  • Rising bond rates are putting pressure on the US government’s debt.

  • George believes this is forcing Trump to “cave” on economic measures — and more backtracking may come.

  • If yields keep climbing, it could push the economy into deeper trouble fast.

🪙 Bitcoin Reserve Rumors

Key Highlights:
  • A rumor over the weekend said the US might consider selling off gold to buy Bitcoin.

  • This aligns with previous talk about a strategic Bitcoin reserve funded without taxpayer dollars.

  • George is skeptical, but says if it happens, it would be incredibly bullish long-term.

🧨 Recession Fears Are Everywhere

Key Highlights:
  • Trump, Jamie Dimon, Ray Dalio — all warning about a recession or worse.

  • George notes that despite all this, crypto and tech rallied last week. Markets may still be in “buy-the-dip” mode.

🔁 Perspective Matters

Key Highlights:
  • George reminds viewers: compare today's levels to March 2020 or 2023-24. Bitcoin is still far ahead despite short-term noise.

  • The key is staying calm and zooming out.

Final Take:
Tech markets might surge this week, and Bitcoin could follow — but conflicting signals (tariffs, bond rates, recession talk) make it a shaky ride. George is hopeful but says expect volatility and keep macro in mind.
