Trump stated that significant progress in peace negotiations regarding Ukraine is unlikely before his face-to-face meeting with Putin.
Russian and Ukrainian representatives will meet on Thursday in Istanbul, Turkey, marking the first talks between the two sides since the full-scale invasion began three years ago.
Although Zelensky invited Putin for a face-to-face meeting, the Russian president will not participate.
On Thursday, Trump spoke aboard Air Force One and expressed skepticism about the likelihood of successful negotiations, despite having indicated multiple times this week that a breakthrough might occur.
When asked by a reporter if he was disappointed with the level of the Russian delegation sent to Turkey, Trump responded, "Look, nothing is going to happen until Putin and I meet. Understand?" Trump said. "He obviously isn't going. He was supposed to go, but he thought I was going."
"If I don't go, he won't go. Whether you like it or not, I don't think there will be any progress unless the two of us meet. But we need to solve this problem because too many people are dying."
Indeed, without a meeting involving Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S., the situation remains fraught with uncertainties. Gold is rising again.
Indeed, the U.S. stock market has been on a continuous upward trend recently, and it may be time for a pullback to clear out some of the bullish positions.
The cryptocurrency market is similar; it has yet to undergo a proper correction. The higher the rally, the greater the risk; spot traders can only patiently wait for a pullback to enter. Only after a significant violent correction can subsequent rallies and narratives drive the price of cryptocurrencies even higher. At this point, it's better not to chase after buying. If you're daring, it’s still advisable to focus on short positions lately.
After the next pullback, there may be more opportunities to buy. Currently, one should be cautious with contracts, avoid heavy positions, and be aware of the market dynamics to avoid being caught off guard.$BTC
