The Crypto Market Seems Rebellious

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on a strategic bitcoin reserve.
Cryptocurrency Market Defies Trump’s Crypto Reserve Announcement
The cryptocurrency market has become rather rebellious. Neither Trump’s sudden announcement of the creation of a crypto reserve, nor his rather unexpected signing of it on Thursday, before a scheduled meeting with crypto bosses on Friday, could unequivocally spur the market. The crypto market is 8% above levels from 7 days ago but is selling off powerfully on upside attempts. As a result, the previous support level near $3.14 trillion is acting as resistance.
The news of the last week is helping to create support on the dips in Bitcoin, which climbed to $90k on Friday. BTCUSD remains sandwiched between the 50 and 200-day moving averages. The long MA plays the role of rising support, while we see the short one as a signal line. The ability to consolidate above $96K early next week will signal the end of the correction. But we caution that increased volatility on the news and low liquidity over the weekend could fool traders.
