Crypto news today has been anything but quiet. The week kicked off with a 3% drop in Bitcoin price, followed by the whole crypto market downturn, then, before the weekend, talk of Changpeng Zhao’s pardon was in the news, and the week ended with a political catalyst as Donald Trump dominated every feed.
Earlier this week, Coinbase finally listed BNB, something most traders didn’t expect this soon, or never expected at all. The weekend ended with the US stock market closing strong, flashing its biggest green candle in forever, while Bitcoin price still looked hesitant around $111,000, as the overall crypto market cap stuck near $3.8 trillion. The floor is holding steady.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, managed to climb 4.3%in price this week, hitting close to $112,000 by Friday, though it still lagged behind the wider equity rally. Support looks solid near $109K, while resistance around $114K could break the downtrends.
People mentioned that they are seeing “whale wallets” waking up again, as supply on exchanges keeps dropping. RSI is at 47, a neutral phase, something that often comes right before a move up. Once Bitcoin price clears $114K, the next stop could be $120K, or even a new high.

Trump Crypto Policy In The News and What the US Stock Market Is Telling Us Today
Today, the Trump crypto news really shook the crypto market up. His new executive order to build a national Bitcoin reserve and frame America as the digital asset capital sent shockwaves through finance forums.
The timing lined up perfectly with a roaring US stock market. The Dow broke 47,000 for the first time ever, and the S&P 500 jumped 0.8% to 6,791, while the Nasdaq rose 1.1%. A softer CPI print at 3% has sent most traders betting on more risky assets.

But why does the Bitcoin price still lag?
Heading into next week, all eyes are on Fed speakers and CPI revisions. Stablecoin data is at an all-time high of $309 billion and still climbing as capital keeps flowing into the crypto market, ready to buy the market. If Bitcoin holds the $111K zone, we might see altcoins rotate higher. And the current lag is just a delay, a common market reaction.
