🔊Weekly Market Highlights #134: January 20 - January 26

✨This week marked a historic milestone as President Trump became the first U.S. President to support crypto openly. He began fulfilling promises, including forming a crypto advisory council and exploring a digital asset reserve.

✨BTC hit a new ATH, while ETH faced internal disputes. The week also saw efforts to launch crypto ETFs, Binance Labs' rebranding, and major BTC buys by institutions.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization increased by ~$149B (from ~$3456B to ~$3605B).

✨BTC Holds Steady at $105K
✅BTC had a wild start to the business week. On Monday morning, it plunged from $106K to below $100K before skyrocketing to a new all-time high of over $109K. However, as Donald Trump’s inauguration speech did not mention crypto, the market experienced heightened volatility before, during, and after the event.

✅After a drop to $101K, the bulls prevented further decline into five-digit territory. BTC rebounded to $107K midweek but faced resistance, sliding by $3,000 on Saturday morning. It has since recovered slightly and is now trading about $1,000 higher with minimal movement.
