Market sentiment has shown marked improvement following the resolution of key geopolitical overhangs.
The Trump administration’s trade deal with the UK, along with a temporary agreement to ease reciprocal tariffs with China, has helped reduce uncertainty and restore risk appetite among investors.
The change in sentiment was also highlighted by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, who posted on X that over $35 billion has flown into the crypto market in just the last three weeks.

According to CoinGecko, the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have posted nearly double-digit gains over the past seven days.
The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin has rebounded to levels last seen in February, now just 6.33% shy of the $1.34 trillion mark.

Is the worst of the trade war over?
In a development that exceeded market expectations, the United States and China agreed on Monday to roll back most newly imposed tariffs for a 90-day period as both sides prepare to negotiate broader economic and trade issues.
The move signals a temporary de-escalation in tensions that have rattled global markets throughout the year.
China—America’s second-largest goods supplier in 2024 and the only country among the 180 targeted by US “reciprocal” tariffs to launch full-scale retaliatory measures—has been at the centre of the standoff.
Markets responded positively to the truce. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index has rebounded to levels seen just before the early April flare-up in trade tensions, while the S&P 500 has returned to positive territory for the year, reversing weeks of uncertainty-driven losses.
Still, some analysts caution that the reprieve may be short-lived.
“It might be just the beginning of the inevitable collision of the two largest economies,” Ting Lu, chief China economist at Nomura, wrote in a note Monday. “The US is still on the offensive, but China might learn much better how to dig itself in for the future attack.”
While the 90-day suspension of new tariffs has eased immediate tensions, it has done little to eliminate uncertainty for American businesses.
“A 90-day suspension, while welcome, still creates significant uncertainty for US companies’ business planning and costs, undermining their long-term global competitiveness,” the US-China Business Council said in a statement earlier in the week.
The group also called on Beijing to “end unfair trade practices and market-entry barriers.”
Meanwhile, Beijing showed few signs of softening its rhetoric. At a conference with Latin American and Caribbean leaders on Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping took indirect aim at Washington.
“Bullying and coercion only lead to isolation,” Xi said, without naming the US directly.
Why Bitcoin Pepe may prove a good bet in these uncertain times
Despite the crypto market’s rollercoaster ride over the past few months, the Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP) presale has maintained strong traction since its launch in early February.
Investor interest has remained resilient, underscoring the appetite for early-stage, speculative plays that blend market narratives with viral potential.
Bitcoin Pepe is positioning itself at the intersection of Bitcoin’s institutional credibility and the explosive appeal of meme coins, aiming to establish a unique foothold within the crypto ecosystem.
As the first meme-centric Layer 2 project built on the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Pepe seeks to unite two powerful market trends. Its messaging highlights this vision:
“Meme coins hit $100B without Bitcoin. Bitcoin sits at $2T without memes. We’re the first to merge them.”
The presale has so far raised over $8.1 million, with BPEP tokens currently priced at $0.0326. The offering is scheduled to close on May 31, 2025.
A potential exchange listing is expected shortly after the presale concludes, which could act as a catalyst for further price movement.
With overall market sentiment improving and speculative appetite returning, Bitcoin Pepe may continue to attract attention from investors seeking exposure to high-volatility, meme-driven assets with early-stage upside.
