Every time Trump makes a statement, Bitcoin moves thousands of dollars up or down. Crypto analyst Max Crypto is now openly calling it out, saying no chart, no indicator, and no strategy can protect traders when one man’s statement can wipe out your position in minutes.
To back his statement, the analyst highlighted a pattern between Trump’s remarks and Bitcoin’s price direction over the past few days.
According to Max Crypto, every single major price move in Bitcoin price over the past four days has lined up perfectly with a statement made by U.S. President Donald Trump about the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
The timeline shared by the analyst shows multiple market reactions.
On March 30, Trump posted on Truth Social saying the U.S. was in “serious discussions” with a new Iranian regime, and Bitcoin jumped, with short liquidations totaling about $340 milliom.
But within the same day, the mood flipped completely. Trump turned around and threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure, and Bitcoin shed roughly $2,000 just as fast as it had gained.
On March 31, Trump softened his tone again, hinting that the war could end soon. Bitcoin responded by climbing $2,000.
Then on April 1, Trump spoke about “serious discussions” happening with Iran, which pushed Bitcoin up 2.2% to nearly $68,000, while Ethereum surged 4.4% and Solana rose 3.4%.
Then came April 2, and the rug pull nobody wanted. Trump’s primetime address promised to hit Iran “extremely hard” over the next two to three weeks, reversing the short-lived global market rally and sending Bitcoin down 3% to $66,309. Every major token in the top 10 fell with it.
Crypto analyst Max Crypto says the market is now driven more by headlines than charts. He noted that indicators like support levels, RSI, or candlestick patterns are becoming less useful. One single Truth Social post can move Bitcoin by nearly $2,500 within minutes.
Traders on both sides are getting wiped out equally. Hawkish Trump comments liquidate longs, while peace hints crush shorts. There is no safe side of the trade right now.
Bitcoin has spent five weeks bouncing between roughly $60,000 and $73,000, while the Fear and Greed Index remains in extreme fear.
Until the geopolitical situation finds a real resolution, Bitcoin traders may have no choice but to watch Truth Social more closely than any price chart.
