A structural shift in the U.S. is shaking up the crypto market.
On August 7, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order that allows, for the first time, 401(k) retirement plans to include crypto assets like Bitcoin, in addition to private equity and real estate. Although regulatory implementation is still pending, this order represents a monumental shift in institutional and retail access to the crypto world.
Immediate impact: technical and psychological momentum
Price reaction: Bitcoin rebounded strongly, once again surpassing $117,000, a level it hasn't seen in a long time, driven by regulatory optimism.
Technical barriers: In technical analysis, BTC is facing the Kijun-sen of the Ichimoku indicator, located near $118,000, a key point that acts as resistance or support depending on how it evolves. Surpassing it could mean an imminent return to historical highs at $123,000.
What does it imply for investors and traders?
Institutional capital on the doorstep: If 401(k) funds effectively adopt cryptocurrencies, we could face an unprecedented long-term capital injection.
Tangible bullish scenario: Technically, if BTC manages to consolidate above the Kijun-sen, we could be on the verge of the real start of a new rally.
Strategic warning: Implementation will take months and regulatory and financial risks persist. Caution remains key.
Do you think this regulatory shift will drive a true bull run or just generate speculative volatility?
