Financial markets anticipate a historic U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Trump's tariffs, with a 78% chance of them being deemed illegal. Experts suggest this could unlock $600 billion, but any impact on market liquidity may take years. Crypto participants view potential volatility as a trading opportunity, while analyst Tom Lee proposes that negative outcomes could ironically lead to a market uptrend.

Financial markets are awaiting a historic decision by the US Supreme Court regarding the legality of Trump’s tariffs. Analysts are already beginning to prepare for a potential shock: on the prediction platform Polymarket, the probability that the court will deem the tariffs illegal is estimated at 78%. Such a scenario could become a catalyst for significant volatility in the market starting from January 10.

Crypto industry expert Wimar.X has suggested that the cancellation of tariffs could potentially free up to 600 billion dollars that were allocated for their compensation. However, the specialist rightly pointed out an important point: even with a court ruling, the actual return of funds will take several years and will not create an immediate effect on market liquidity.

Participants in the crypto community view the expected fluctuations with a certain degree of pragmatism. Instead of panic, many see market volatility as a classic trading opportunity – a period when one can benefit from price swings. Excessive alarmism is inappropriate here: history shows that the market does not collapse with every major event.

Well-known analyst Tom Lee joined the discussion, offering an interesting perspective. In his opinion, developments around the court decision could serve as a contrarian signal – a scenario where the expected negative outcome actually creates conditions for an upward movement in the market. Such paradoxical situations often occur when information is already fully discounted by the market.
