US crypto fund
Following the news from the White House on Sunday, that the government would start a crypto fund, some tokens have faced tremendous upside momentum. The mentioned tokens, which would initially be part of that are XRP, SOL, ADA as well as also mentioned BTC and ETH. Those markets have in particular moved higher yet might already face profit taking and continue with their recent slide, if no new buyers would step in, which seems currently to be the case.
Market talk
Markets continue to favour the Dollar for the time being. After the fallout between US President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy in the White House tensions remain calm. European politicians currently try to calm the situation by increasing their support for the Ukraine. Prices of Gold and oil continue to weaken and the trend might continue for now. Furthermore the AUDUSD currency pair is trading lower. The risk sentiment in equities might be crucial now with the NASDAQ and S&P 500 still showing a bearish divergence. A slide in prices and continuous shift towards Chinese equities might be found. Also, the JPY shows further signs of growth and might gear up steam in the coming weeks.
