Bitcoin stayed pinned near $91,000 on Tuesday, as traders watched Japan\u2019s stock market burst to fresh records and treated US macro headlines as the next real trigger for crypto direction.<\/p>\n

In Asia, Japan\u2019s Nikkei surged to an all-time high, climbing as much as 3.6% to 53,814.79, and the Topix also set a record with a 2.4% gain to 3,599.31. <\/p>\n

The move came after a public holiday left Tokyo playing catch-up with Wall Street\u2019s recent rally, and traders leaned into speculation that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi could call an early election that keeps fiscal spending in play.<\/p>\n
