During tense trade negotiations between the United States and Japan, former President Donald Trump made a bold demand: he wants Japan to strengthen its currency – the yen. But this move could turn out to be dangerous for both countries.
What began as a standard meeting in Washington between Japanese Minister of Economic Affairs Ryosei Akazawa, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Trade Representative Jamieson, quickly took a turn when Trump unexpectedly entered the room, insisting that currency policy be put on the table, even though the talks were originally focused on tariffs.

🔹 Accusations of Currency Manipulation – and a Swift Japanese Response
Trump previously accused Japan of deliberately weakening the yen to gain an unfair trade advantage. Now, he wants the issue of exchange rates to be at the center of negotiations.
Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato, who is set to meet Bessent next week in Washington during the IMF and World Bank spring meetings, responded firmly:
“Japan is not manipulating its currency. In fact, our most recent action was an intervention to support the yen,” Kato stated during a parliamentary session, directly rejecting Trump’s claims.
While he acknowledged the U.S. interest in discussing currency issues, he added that no specific date has been set for his meeting with Bessent.

🔹 Stronger Yen? Economists Raise the Alarm
Trump’s demand has already sparked concern among financial analysts. Many warn that forcing Japan to strengthen the yen could seriously undermine Japan’s economy – and rattle U.S. markets as well.
🔹 If the Bank of Japan were pressured into raising interest rates too quickly, it could choke off Japan’s fragile recovery and undermine the central bank’s independence.
🔹 Alternatively, if Japan started dumping U.S. dollars to push up the yen, it could destabilize U.S. bond markets — especially during a time of already heightened economic uncertainty.

🔹 Wall Street Watches Devaluation Threat
According to Citigroup, Japan may be among the first targets if Trump moves forward with a broader plan to weaken the U.S. dollar globally. Internally, some have started referring to this potential plan as the “Mar-a-Lago Accord” — a nod to the 1985 Plaza Accord, which realigned global currencies.
🔸 “Right now, we don’t see the ‘Mar-a-Lago Accord’ as an immediate risk,” wrote Citigroup FX strategist Osamu Takashima.

🔸 “But countries like Japan, which have large foreign currency reserves and undervalued currencies, would likely be in the crosshairs.”

🔹 Targeting the Yen to Shrink the Deficit
The yen has already begun to strengthen amid speculation that the U.S. may pressure Japan into a currency shift. Traders and economists believe Trump is aiming to reduce the U.S. trade deficit, and pushing Japan on the yen is one way to do it.
In March, Trump stated that he had warned both Japan and China not to continue devaluing their currencies:

“They can’t keep lowering their currency values – it’s unfair to the United States,” he said.

While President Donald Trump proudly boasts that his tariffs generate a stunning $2 billion per day for the United States, official figures paint a very different picture.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), more than $500 million has been collected since April 5th under newly implemented reciprocal tariffs — part of 15 trade actions initiated since January 20, 2025. In total, the tariffs have generated over $21 billion. However, the average daily revenue is only about $305 million, as confirmed by a Treasury Department report released on Monday.

❌ Trump’s Claims vs. Reality
Trump has repeatedly claimed that his "reciprocal tariffs" generate at least $2 billion daily, but this figure is not supported by official data. In fact, CBP clarified that even during a 10-hour financial system outage — which temporarily blocked importers from submitting tariff codes for goods already en route — the average daily intake remained steady at $250 million.
This gap between Trump’s narrative and the actual numbers raises eyebrows not only among economists but also among importers who struggled with system disruptions during the glitch.

💊 What’s Next? Cars, Pharmaceuticals, and More Tariffs
In early April, the Trump administration slapped a 125% tariff on all Chinese imports, including a 90% tax on packages under $800 that were previously exempt under the "de minimis" rule. At the same time, sector-specific tariffs on the auto industry remain in place, and new trade policies targeting the pharmaceutical industry are expected soon.
Originally, the administration had planned sweeping new tariffs on dozens of trading partners but quickly scaled back to a temporary 10% universal rate, excluding China. In retaliation, China raised its own tariffs to 125%, with its Ministry of Commerce stating the country is “ready to fight to the end.”

However, Beijing also signaled that it may be willing to de-escalate — if Trump fully reverses his tariff regime and returns to a path of mutual respect and cooperation.
While President Trump portrays his strategy as a resounding economic triumph, the numbers tell a different story: his tariff policies are far from the financial windfall he claims, and China’s growing defiance suggests the trade war is far from over.

Shiba Inu price has not made any meaningful gains over the past month, as meme coin traders remain cautious due to uncertainty caused by tariffs and the trade war. However, one top trader has used an Elliott Wave analysis to identify a bullish outlook for SHIB, suggesting that it may be on the verge of a 700% rally to $0.0001. Is this price target realistic? Let’s explore.
What Elliot Wave Analysis Says About Shiba Inu Price
Analyst CaptToblerone used the Elliott Wave analysis to forecast that the Shiba Inu price was on the verge of a major upside move. The meme coin may have completed the corrective phase near the $0.0000055 price level, suggesting that SHIB may have bottomed and it is now prime for an upward recover.
The analyst noted that Shiba Inu is now prime for five waves of recovery, where the price will climb slowly, with a series of higher highs. If the pattern plays out, Shiba Inu price could rally to as high as $0.00014, which is more than ten times its current price.

CaptToblerone added that the SHIB price had followed the Elliott Wave pattern in the past, suggesting that the rally to $0.00014 will likely happen. 
Is $0.0001 a Realistic Target for SHIB Price?
$0.0001 is a realistic target for the Shiba Inu price. At this price, this top meme coin would have a market capitalization of $58.9 billion, which is also a realistic target.
Shiba Inu has been close to attaining this price target in the past. This is because the meme coin’s all-time high stands at $0.000088, attained in 2021. Moreover, several bullish catalysts could make this price rally possible.
One of these catalysts is the SHIB burn rate. If the burn rate can skyrocket, it will remove a significant amount of tokens from the circulating supply. This will help drive the price rally. Additionally, increased activity on the Shibarium layer 2 network will be a catalyst for a positive Shiba Inu price prediction.


Shiba Inu Open Interest Rebounds
The $SHIB open interest has rebounded significantly since hitting a record low of $89M last week. At press time, this metric stood at $116M, suggesting that traders are opening new positions on the meme coin, as they bet on a major price move.

The open interest is rising when the funding rates are positive according to data from Coinglass. This indicates that many traders have opened long positions on Shiba Inu. As more traders bet that the price is going to increase, it highlights a bullish market sentiment.
Therefore, if Shiba Inu follows the path laid out in the Elliott Wave analysis, it is likely that the price will surge to $0.00001. This is a realistic target for SHIB as it will give the meme coin a $58 billion market. The rising open interest also supports this bullish outlook.

Popular Chinese fashion giants Temu and Shein are set to raise prices for U.S. customers following a fresh wave of Trump-backed tariffs set to take effect on May 2. Both companies have already warned that product prices will rise starting April 25 due to soaring operational costs caused by the new trade policy.

🔹 Trump Ends Key Loophole That Kept Prices Low
Trump’s revamped trade strategy eliminates the crucial “de minimis” rule, which previously allowed imports under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free. This was a cornerstone of Temu and Shein’s low-cost, direct-to-consumer model, enabling them to avoid much of the regulatory burden.
With this advantage now removed, both companies will soon face import fees of 30% or at least $25 per shipment, which will increase to $150 per package in June. In some cases, total duties may even climb as high as 245% — the most aggressive tariff policy in U.S. history.

🔹 Price Adjustments and Ad Cuts Signal Strategic Shift
Shein has already notified customers it will be raising prices to reflect growing costs, while promising to do its best to minimize the impact. Temu hasn’t released figures but reports from internal logistics teams indicate a sharp decline in U.S. demand.
“Prices will remain the same until April 25. Shop now at today’s prices.”
– Shein

At the same time, both brands are cutting their U.S. ad spending:

🔹 Temu slashed its average daily ad budget on Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube by 31% between March 31 and April 13.

🔹 Shein cut ad spending by 19%, affecting visibility on platforms like Instagram and Pinterest.

🔹 Temu also began reducing Google Shopping ads on April 12.

🔹 Turning Away from the U.S., Looking to Europe and Australia
Faced with the harsh new tariffs, Temu and Shein are now pivoting toward Europe and Australia, where import thresholds are still more favorable.
Jason Wong, a logistics coordinator at Temu, confirmed that the company expects a major drop in U.S. orders and plans to expand operations in Europe and Australia.
“We’re confident that demand from the U.S. and North America will significantly decline.”
– Wong

🔹 Global Ripple Effects of Trump’s Trade War
Trump’s new trade agenda is impacting not only China and the U.S., but also over 70 other countries that are now re-evaluating their own export strategies.
Since early April, Trump’s administration has rapidly increased tariffs. Starting from 20%, rates have now escalated to 34%, 50%, and 125%. In response to retaliatory actions by China, the White House says the final cumulative impact could reach up to 245%.
According to the administration, this move targets China’s long-standing disregard for fair trade practices, sending a strong message that the U.S. will no longer tolerate one-sided trade advantages for Chinese exporters.

Tensions between the U.S. and China have escalated once again. After the shocking announcement of a 245% tariff on Chinese goods by the United States, Beijing has accused President Donald Trump of blackmail and coercion. According to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the U.S. is playing hardball and pushing China into a corner.
💬 "The U.S. should stop with its 'maximum pressure' tactics and truly pursue dialogue instead of issuing threats and manipulation," stated Chinese spokesperson Lin Jian during a press conference.
Meanwhile, Trump insists that “the ball is in China’s court” and that the United States has no reason to back down. He’s demanding that Beijing make the first move—otherwise, no deal will happen.

❗ 245% Tariff: A Historic High
According to the White House, the new tariff is a response to China's previous retaliatory measures. This step marks the biggest escalation yet in the ongoing trade war between the world’s two largest economies.
But China is responding with a calm—and firm—stance. It has begun limiting exports of critical materials essential to defense and aerospace industries and is preparing countermeasures of its own. "There are no winners in a trade war, but China is not afraid of one," Lin said.

📈 China’s Economy Grows Despite Tariffs
Despite the fierce trade battle, China's economy is performing better than expected. In Q1, GDP rose by 5.4%, industrial output by 6.5%, and retail sales by 4.6%. While global supply chains feel the pressure, Beijing continues on a steady course.
Trump, however, is boasting about the impact of tariffs at home. On Truth Social, he wrote:

“The U.S. is collecting RECORD TARIFFS. Prices are dropping, including gas, food, and nearly everything else. Inflation is falling. Promises made, promises kept!”
But critics argue—at what cost? The open trade war has fueled rising tensions in Asia, strained relations with allies, and brought uncertainty to global markets.
One thing is clear: the conflict is heating up—and a resolution is nowhere in sight.

Shiba Inu shared an X post that read "Shib is for everyone," following the recent Coinbase L2 Base's saga. The meme coin's price jumped 1%.
Shiba Inu meme coin has recently rattled the crypto market by following one of the latest trends in the sector. The crypto’s team shared an X post this Friday that read, “Shib is for everyone.” This post follows the recent “Base is for everyone” token buzz.
Notably, Coinbase Layer 2 network Base earlier posted a very similar comment on X. As an upshot, the crypto realm saw the unintended launch of a new coin, with its price skyrocketing momentarily before falling from grace.
Shiba Inu Team Shares “Shib Is For Everyone” Post After Base, Here’s The Scoop
Shiba Inu team’s account @Shibtoken shared an X post on April 18 that read, “Shib is for everyone.” Further, the team shared another post soon after that read “Coined it.” The latter post was linked to Zora, a platform that allows users to mint content as tokens.
As mentioned above, these posts mainly follow the Coinbase L2 network’s recent chronicle. It’s noteworthy that the Layer 2 network shared an X post that read “Base is for everyone, followed by another post that read, “Just coin it,” linking it to the platform Zora.
The upshot? A domino effect kicked in, and these posts by the Layer 2 network ignited the launch of a new token that wasn’t even officially verified. Notably, this new token soon hit a market cap of over $20 million before erasing over 40% in value and retracing to $11 million. In turn, crypto market traders and investors are left abuzz amid this token’s launch, whilst the Shiba Inu team is now following similar footsteps.
It’s notable that some crypto traders even turned a mere $4.5K investment into a whopping $666K with the new “Base is for everyone” token. This saga put a major spotlight on the crypto project, with some even tossing insider trading and rug-pull allegations.


Did SHIB Price React Similarly To “Base Is For Everyone” Token?
Meanwhile, the hourly SHIB price chart shows that the meme coin witnessed a 1% uptick after the post by @Shibtoken, reaching $0.0000118. Its price recovered after hitting a low of $0.00001164 intraday. Notably, market experts like IAmCryptoWolfy are wondering about the sudden jump in Shiba Inu price, highlighting the surge on X.

However, this upward trajectory is relatively diminished compared to what the new Base token witnessed before falling. Besides, it is recently reported that SHIB’s daily volume has also hit remarkable levels. As a result, traders and investors remain optimistic about what lies next for the meme coin’s price as it taps into one of the latest market trends amid bullish dynamics.

Explore if Fartcoin price will contiue to outperform Solana (SOL) at hit $1 while SOL price continues to remain sideways.
After weeks of consolidation, Solana (SOL) recovery is in progress, but the Fartcoin price is ready to rally and is preparing to revisit $1. Will FARTCOIN, a Solana meme token, lead while SOL remains rangebound?
Solana Meme Coin Fartcoin Price Analysis
Between April 1 and 16, Fartcoin price shot up 117%, but Solana price is up nearly 10%, according to TradingView data. Although the meme token has dropped 25% in the past week, it still has potential to shoot higher and hit the $1 psychological level.





A closer look at the Fartcoin price action on the daily chart shows it’s facing massive selling pressure inside the inverted Fair Value Gap (FVG). This zone extends from $0.822 to $0.989. Failure to find support could lead to a steep correction.
The daily FVG, extending from $0.678 to $0.618, is a critical demand area. This gap was formed as the Fartcoin price shot up nearly 50% on April 9. A reentry into this zone will provide an opportunity for unfilled limit orders to be filled.
Investors looking to buy the dip on this top meme coin can do so as FARTCOIN dips into the $0.678 to $0.618 FVG zone. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Awesome Oscillator (AO) are above their respective mean levels, indicating that the bullish momentum is in control. If price retraces, the RSI and AO can revisit and bounce from the 50 and zero mean levels, respectively, further enforcing the idea of a potential reset of bullish momentum.
A bounce from this area, coupled with a bullish Bitcoin price prediction for 2025, could send Fartcoin price to revisit the inverted FVG that stretches from $0.822 to $0.989. A swift breakout and flip of this area into a support floor could propel Solana meme coin Fartcoin price to the $1 key level.

Solana ETF Could Propel Fartcoin Higher
The highly anticipated approval of the Solana ETF could further help boost the outlook for Solana ecosystem tokens including Fartcoin. Tronto exchange has approved the SOL ETF, but the US is yet to approve it.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to approve a Spot SOL ETF in Q4 of 2025. This development would open the floodgates for altcoin investments and propel Solana and its top meme token, Fartcoin, price higher.
Until then, FARTCOIN is the go-to altcoin that will not only outperform Solana (SOL), but also Bitcoin ($BTC ) and Ethereum ($ETH ).
