Tariff Day Turmoil - Tango or TACO? Bitcoin Crashes, Markets Slide

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸJuly 9 - Tariff Day and the global markets just bit into a geopolitical burrito and got a serious case of TACO indigestion.

Bitcoin collapsed below USD 108,000, shedding over USD 400 billion in market cap.  The "Digital Fortress" turned into a sandcastle at high tide.  Risks assets are reeling and Crypto fans are reaching for antacids.

US Equities are sliding.  And the US Dollar?  Flexing like it is back in the gym.  Trump's 90 days tariff pause has been extended to August 1 and the world is scrambling to avoid a tariff trade smackdown.

What's Cooking in the Global Kitchen?

Japan and Europe are still undecided, risking full blown tariff carnage. 

Bitcoin's crash signals a broader flight from risk with no safe haven in sight. 

US CPI lands next week with the possibility that any upside surprise could torch rate cut hopes.

My Tariff Survival Kit 

$Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ 

High quality US Dividend stocks with fortress balance sheets. 

3.97% dividend yield, Golden Cross forming and a July rebound in the works.

$SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ 

Ultra low cost S&P500 exposure with a Tech / Financial sector barbell

0.02% expense ratio, new highs and built for long term resilience.

$Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLF)$

Banks, brokers and capital markets are poised for a policy tailwind. 

Up 29% from lows, with dividend hikes and buybacks fueling momentum.

This Isn't Just Volatility.  It is a Global Drama.

Bitcoin blinked.  Tariffs are coming back.  Markets are dancing the Tariff Tango but it feels more like a TACO belly flop. 

All eyes are on July 10 to 12 - Trump's deal announcements could spark a relief rally or a full blown meltdown.

Final Word - This is a Stress Test for Your Strategy

This week isn't about guessing the next headline.  It is about knowing what you own and why.

So stay nimble and remember - in a volatile market, having the right defensive strategy is your edge.  

When the market serves TACOs, you can do the Tango.
