2. Traders are divided on BTC's next price direction, with some warning of potential further declines to $111.8K before a possible rally.
3. Market volatility was exacerbated by US trade tariffs, with Bitcoin and stocks experiencing whipsaw movements.
4. The S&P 500 futures dropped modestly, with the market appearing acclimatized to trade war surprises since April.
5. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index came in above estimates, adding to market uncertainty.
