The move would align with growing global interest in cryptocurrency adoption and could signal a significant shift in U.S. financial policy. Additionally, Trump intends to use his executive authority to reduce regulatory hurdles for cryptocurrency businesses and promote the adoption of digital assets early in his term.
Furthermore, President Donald Trump will supposedly sign an executive order creating a cryptocurrency advisory council on the first day. Originally proposed by Trump in July, this initiative seeks to unite industry leaders and policymakers to develop a more crypto-friendly regulatory framework.
BTC Open Interest Surges With 10% God Candle, $130K Next?
As said, the BTC price has made a swift recovery from the lows under $100K to the highs closer to $110K in less than 24 hours, thereby forming a 10% god candle. This swift reversal in the Bitcoin price has triggered massive market liquidations, with over $52 million in short BTC positions wiped out in under an hour.
Furthermore, data from Coinglass showed that the BTC open interest surged by $4.74 billion as BTC’s price recovered. Earlier, there was a decline of over $3 billion in open interest. As highlighted in our previous article, the buy ratings for BTc have gone up.
Although many anticipated Trump’s inauguration would push Bitcoin to new all-time highs, trader and analyst Jelle remains optimistic, suggesting the time may be ripe for a surge to the “mid $130Ks”. The analyst wrote:
Bitcoin broke out from the descending triangle, retested it — and bounced straight to new all-time highs.
