As President Donald Trump doubles down on his tariff plans, veteran investor Robert Kiyosaki believes that a Bitcoin price crash could be coming soon. The BTC price is trading 2.17% down at $102,222 with daily trading volumes surging 14% to more than $44 billion. Bitcoin has been oscillating in the range of $101K-$106K for a while and breaking either end of this range would exacerbate a move in that direction.

Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Bitcoin Price Crash Amid Tariffs

Financial investor Robert Kiyosaki has weighed in on the potential impact of tariffs introduced under former President Donald Trump. He predicts a significant downturn coming for assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver. Kiyosaki stated that while these assets may experience a sharp decline, however, he views the situation as an opportunity to accumulate more. In his X post, Kiyosaki noted:

“TRUMP TARRIFS BEGIN: Gold, silver, Bitcoin may crash. GOOD. Will buy more after prices crash. Real problem is DEBT….which will only get worse. CRASHES mean assets are on sale. Time to get richer”.

Earlier this week, popular analyst Arthur Hayes also predicted a “mini financial crisis” in the making expecting a Bitcoin price crash to $70,000, before the mega bull run begins for $250K.

BTC On-Chain Indicators

Apart from Robert Kiyosaki’s views, blockchain analytics firm Glassnode has identified a significant price cluster for Bitcoin. It revealed that a substantial volume of BTC has exchanged hands in the $94,000 to $101,000 range over the past 45 days. This has created a dense supply zone, with $98,000 emerging as a pivotal support. As long as Bitcoin price stays above this support, the upward momentum could continue. Falling under $98,000 could open the gates for new lows to $90,000 and more.

Trump Tariffs and Macros Under Radar

As Trump tariffs are likely to go into effect starting February 1, investors can expect strong market volatility in the next week. Furthermore, the crypto market reaction will largely depend on next week’s US jobs data.

“Tariffs may cause short-term disruption, but I’m not concerned about market reaction,” Trump remarked, underscoring his confidence in the long-term benefits of the policy. The DeepSeek disruption is also challenging the US AI dominance and Trump seems all prepared to put tariffs on chip exporters to China. “Eventually we are going to put tariffs on chips,” he added. Commenting on the DeepSeek saga, Robert Kiyosaki said: “The world is about to be turned upside down. Grateful Trump is President again”.

This week, the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged amid a strong labor market and growing inflationary pressure. Although President Trump demanded immediate rate cuts, Fed Chair Jerome Powell refused to budge. Despite this strong market development, Bitcoin price has shown strength holding above $100K levels.
