Bitcoin's price bounced back above $99,000 following a recovery from a recent decline, driven by reduced trade war tensions between the U.S. and Mexico. The Mexican government, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, agreed to deploy 10,000 troops at the U.S. border to combat illegal trafficking and temporarily pause tariffs for one month. Following this announcement, BTC rose by 1.5% on the day, while XRP surged 40% from the previous day's lows, trading at approximately $2.5. Ethereum's ether (ETH) and Solana's SOL also reflected positive movements, with ETH trading above $2,700 and SOL above $200. Meanwhile, expectations increased significantly regarding the potential removal of tariffs by President Trump, with prediction markets estimating an 80% chance of this happening before May, up from 50% earlier that day. U.S. stock markets also narrowed their declines, indicating a ripple effect across markets due to the positive news in the crypto space.
