BlockBeats News, January 21 — CryptoQuant analyst XWIN stated that the Trump administration has once again advanced tariff policies, which have become a clear downward factor for Bitcoin since 2025. Tariff policies directly impact corporate profits, inflation, and monetary policy expectations, weakening overall risk appetite and making risk assets, including Bitcoin, more susceptible to pullback shocks.
The impact of economic risks on Bitcoin manifests quickly because investor behavior adjusts rapidly. As uncertainty about economic growth and interest rate prospects increases, investors tend to reduce risk exposure in the short term. In this process, Bitcoin is often viewed as a liquid asset that can be temporarily sold to reduce portfolio risk, rather than a long-term store of value.
CEX net flow provides an additional perspective. During adjustment phases, a brief increase in CEX inflows can be observed, consistent with temporary position adjustments. However, these inflows did not persist, indicating the absence of sustained structural selling pressure.
