U.S.-Europe Trade War Fears Trigger Market Sell-Off: Tech Futures, Crypto Stocks, and Bitcoin Price Plunge

Escalating trade tensions between the United States and Europe sparked a broad market downturn on Thursday. Key technology index futures pointed to a lower open, while publicly traded cryptocurrency stocks experienced significant declines. The sell-off pressure extended to the digital asset market, with Bitcoin (BTC) price falling sharply and breaching key support levels. Analysts cite investor risk aversion amid fears of a renewed transatlantic trade conflict as the primary catalyst. The market movement highlights the growing correlation between traditional finance and the crypto sector during periods of macroeconomic uncertainty. Major crypto-related equities such as Coinbase (COIN) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) mirrored the downward trend, underperforming broader indices.
