Red September Redemption for BTC? 🗓️

Bitcoin has been looking like it will narrowly escape the Red September curse—but President Donald Trump just announced a new batch of hefty tariffs.

Bitcoin may narrowly beat the “Red September” curse, but the broader crypto market is looking bloodied heading into the final few days of the month.

As of Friday afternoon, BTC monthly gains are a scant 0.63% in the green. New U.S. inflation data came in as expected, which prompted a muted response from markets.

But the bigger worry now has become how President Donald Trump’s new tariffs—announced on Truth Social, of course—might impact the economy and therefore make the Fed governors reconsider additional interest rates in their final two meetings of 2025. For now, the next macroeconomic data point on traders’ radar is the non-farm payroll report, due out next Friday, Oct. 3.

❝

The recently announced high tariffs remain an uncertain factor that could deliver one-off inflationary pressure while weighing on growth. Overall, capital flows remain cautious, with risk assets under pressure and inflation-hedging sentiment persisting."
