t#coin:Hovered around $105,650. Its chart pattern from Sunday suggested traders weren't sure how it would go next. XRP: Slipped over 1% to about $2.24, although it technically broke a recent downward trend. It's a big conference in Singapore this week that might stir things up. Dogecoin: Fell nearly 2%, getting close to 18 cents. It couldn't hold onto gains above a key average price level over the weekend. Bitcoin Activity Slows: Fewer transactions are happening on the Bitcoin network right now. The average number of daily transactions over the past week hit its lowest point in at least a year. Asian Stocks Rise on Trade Hopes: Stock markets in Asia, especially Hong Kong's Hang Seng (up 1.3%), did well. This jump happened because people felt hopeful about the Hina trade talks, ting in London. Experts feel this is the most positive mood about trade since before Trump was elected. President Trump himself said the meeting "should go very well." China's Economy Faces Deflation: While stocks rose, new data showed China's economy is struggling with falling prices: Consumer Prices: Dropped slightly (0.1%) compared to last May. This is the second time prices have fallen this year. Factory Prices (PPI): Fell even more sharply (3.3%) than expected. Factory prices have been dropping for over 2.5 years. Why it matters:Some experts believe US tariffs are making this price drop worse for China. They warn China might be heading into a period of serious deflation (where prices keep falling), partly because people aren't spending much and debts are high. China May Pump More Money: To fight this deflation and boost spending, China's government will likely try to put more money into the economy. They've already cut interest rates and freed up cash for banks recently, and might do more later this year. Looking Ahead: US Inflation Data: All eyes are now on the US inflation report (CPI) coming out Wednesday. $ BTC $XRP People want to see if President Trump's tariffs are starting to make things more expensive for Americans. If the inflation numbers come in hotter than expected, it could make the Federal Reserve hesitant to cut interest rates soon. This might cause some turbulence in financial markets, including crypto.
