Bitcoin Reclaims $115,000 as US–China Trade Hopes Lift Markets
Bitcoin rose 3.5% over the weekend to $115,400 as optimism grew over easing U.S.-China trade tensions. Officials from both countries reached a preliminary framework agreement in Malaysia, boosting risk appetite across global markets.
Market sentiment on the prediction platform Myriad skewed toward “greed,” while analysts cautioned that on-chain activity has yet to confirm the rally.
Bitcoin and the broader crypto market surged over the weekend, fueled by potential de-escalation in the U.S.-China trade war. Bitcoin gained 3.5% on Sunday, rising from $110,960 to $115,400 before cooling slightly. The asset is currently trading at $115,235, according to CoinGecko data. However, Bitcoin is still down about 6.5% from its October 6 all-time high of $126,000.
The renewed rally comes amid easing trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies. U.S. and Chinese officials met in Malaysia over the weekend, resulting in a preliminary framework agreement described by both sides as a constructive step toward cooling the trade war.
“Bitcoin’s weekend rally underscores how macro sentiment continues to steer digital assets,” Daniel Liu, CEO of Republic Technologies, told Decrypt. “The renewed optimism around U.S.-China trade talks has temporarily lifted risk appetite across markets, and Bitcoin, increasingly viewed as a high-beta macro asset, followed suit.”
Liu highlighted that the reaction reveals more about liquidity psychology than trade fundamentals, suggesting there is no direct link between tariff negotiations and crypto demand. “What we’re really seeing is a reflexive move of traders pricing in a softer macro environment and looser financial conditions, not a structural shift in the U.S.-China dynamic,” he added.
Users on Myriad, owned by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, leaned toward market greed on Sunday, with sentiment spiking to 60% earlier in the day before easing to 57.4%, compared to 42.6% for fear.
“Trump’s renewed U.S.-China dialogue has positively influenced Bitcoin alongside other risk assets,” Daniel Kim, CEO of Tiger Research, told Decrypt. “This week’s APEC summit will likely add to short-term volatility.”
Although the U.S.-China trade war has lifted sentiment, on-chain metrics reveal vulnerabilities. Key indicators such as transaction count and active users have not yet confirmed the price rebound, leaving the near-term trajectory uncertain, according to Tiger Research’s Thursday report.
Still, the report maintains a bullish view for the fourth quarter. Tiger Research analysts forecast a $200,000 target for Bitcoin, driven by global liquidity expansion, continued institutional inflows, and the Federal Reserve’s rate-cutting stance.
