The crypto markets are currently moving in tandem with global macroeconomic trends. One of the biggest drivers right now is the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, which has become the main catalyst for volatility. While no major updates have emerged today, the situation remains fluid. Any sudden announcements from either country could impact risk assets like cryptocurrencies.

In terms of economic indicators, U.S. CPI and inflation data came in lower than expected, a positive signal for markets. This has improved the short-term outlook for equities, suggesting potential monetary easing down the line. However, despite the favorable data, markets remain cautious, waiting for clearer signals.

Now let’s talk crypto:

Bitcoin (BTC) has shown solid resilience. Despite a slight discount on Coinbase, BTC reclaimed its key value area between $81,000 and $86,000. It even bounced back after briefly dipping to the lower support range of $78,000–$80,000. The post-U.S. market open move triggered a buying wick at the value area low, suggesting bullish momentum. A push toward the $84,000 CME gap and point of control from last month seems likely if equities continue upward. Overall, BTC looks bullish on both higher and lower time frames.

XRP mirrors Bitcoin's trajectory. It is currently holding above its recent breakout level around $1.95, and unless fundamentals take a sudden negative turn, a deeper pullback seems unlikely. The worst-case scenario appears to be a minor correction before a bounce.

Now to altcoins – a sector showing surprising strength today. While caution is still advised, some coins are flashing bullish signals:

Athena is gaining strong volume and could reclaim the $0.325 key resistance level. A confirmed breakout might trigger further upside.

SuperVerse (a gaming token) is nearing a breakout above the 30-day VWAP at $0.49, with $0.50 being a critical psychological level.

Reserve Rights (RSR) is attempting to reclaim the zone between $0.0075 and $0.0080, driven by volume from lower levels.

Though these altcoins look promising, they remain risky plays in a macro-driven environment. Watch them closely but wait for confirmations before entry.

In summary, while the crypto market is still sensitive to macro headlines, lower inflation, strong technical setups, and returning altcoin volume are giving bulls a reason to stay hopeful. Keep an eye on equity markets and international headlines—especially from China—as they’ll guide the next wave of volatility.
