U.S. stock index futures are gaining ground this morning—Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all edging higher. The catalyst? Tensions easing after Trump's latest geopolitical rhetoric rattled markets yesterday, which turned out to be the worst trading day since October.

When political uncertainty spikes, it ripples through equities fast. Yesterday's selloff showed exactly that—investors got spooked, sold aggressively. Today's bounce-back suggests the market's digesting the news and finding its footing again.

For crypto traders watching macro flows, this matters. Traditional markets and digital assets have become increasingly correlated. When stock futures rally, stablecoins often see movement as institutional capital repositions. Worth keeping tabs on how this unfolds through the week.

Here we go again, when the stock market jumps, the crypto market gets excited. I just want to ask if stablecoins will be hammered again this time.

Once again, it's the usual drama of Trump causing chaos with a single sentence. I'm really tired of it. But on the other hand, this rebound has given us a chance to catch our breath. We need to quickly check the movements of stablecoins.

Here we go again, a single comment from Trump sends the market into a washout. Can this rebound last until Friday?

Another cycle of Trump’s trash talk causing a plunge, then a rebound and turnaround—are we already tired of this routine... Institutions blindly buying stablecoins are really anxious; it feels so predictable every time. That sharp drop yesterday was intense, but can today’s rebound last until Friday? That’s the real question. Traditional finance and the crypto world are too deeply intertwined, and this kind of correlation is a bit annoying... It feels like our independence is weakening more and more. This wave of volatility doesn’t seem to be over yet, so don’t rush to add leverage.

It's another case where Trump says a few words and the market gets scared... This rebound feels fake, and it will still fall later.

It's another case of Trump talking his way out to rescue the market. LOL, this tactic has really become all too common.

Oh, it's another one of Chuan Huang's trash talk. Yesterday, he scared the stock market quite a bit, and today it's back up again. This unpredictable streak is really...

It's Trump causing trouble again. Yesterday, he directly scared the market, and only today did it recover. This unpredictability is truly incredible.

Haha, it's Trump again. One sentence scares away half the market, and the next day it rebounds. How many times do they have to play this game?
