Bitcoin Challenges $105K on Positive Weekend Macro Headlines

They crypto bull move continued into the weekend thanks to a trio of positive macro developments.

“A very good meeting today,” said Trump. “Many things discussed, much agreed to,” he continued. “A total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner. We want to see, for the good of both China and the U.S., an opening up of China to American business. GREAT PROGRESS MADE!!!”

Earlier Saturday, Trump also announced a “full and immediate” ceasefire in the brewing war between India and Pakistan.

Completing the trio of good news, Russian President Putin said he was “in the mood for serious talks with Ukraine,” and suggested talks “without preconditions” in Turkey next week.
