Historically, this has been a sign that selling pressure eases, extending upside potential,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor bullish continuation, Bitcoin needs a firm daily and weekly close above the $92,000\u2013$94,000 zone to reclaim key moving averages. Failure to hold this range could see BTC consolidate or retest support near $88,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s major benchmarks started the day in the green. Shanghai rose 0.89%, Shenzhen\u2019s SZSE Component added 1.54%, and China A50 gained 0.56%.<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong also advanced. The Hang Seng climbed 0.35% in early dealing, extending a cautious uptrend as traders stayed focused on rates, risk appetite, and cross-asset flows that often spill into crypto.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"h-market-snapshot\">Market snapshot<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>: $95,325, up 4.4%<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ether<\/a>: $3,321, up 6.7%<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/coins\/ripple\/\">XRP<\/a>: $2.17, up 5.6%<\/li>\n<li>Total crypto market cap: $3.33 trillion, up 4.5%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"h-saylor-s-latest-bitcoin-purchase-fuels-market-optimism-and-inflows\">Saylor\u2019s Latest Bitcoin Purchase Fuels Market Optimism And Inflows<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s jump followed a busy week for corporate accumulation. <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/billionaire-michael-saylors-strategy-scoops-13627-bitcoin-for-1-25b\/\">Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy disclosed a purchase of 13,627 BTC<\/a> worth about $1.25B to $1.3B, at an average price around $91,500 per coin, a move that helped steady sentiment and pull in fresh buying.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The rally also leaned on market mechanics that crypto traders watch closely. Buyers drove Bitcoin through the $94,000 to $95,000 zone that had capped it for weeks, and traders pointed to rising open interest and negative funding that can pressure short sellers during a fast push higher.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"h-japan-stocks-stay-firm-on-yen-slump-as-wall-street-stumbles\">Japan Stocks Stay Firm On Yen Slump As Wall Street Stumbles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Japan\u2019s equities stayed in rally mode. The Nikkei 225 advanced 0.9%, and the yen weakened to its softest level since July 2024, adding momentum to exporters and keeping regional risk appetite supported.<\/p>\n<p>In the background, traders headed into Wednesday watching for a possible US Supreme Court ruling tied to President Donald Trump\u2019s global tariffs announced in April, a decision that could reshape how markets price trade friction and growth risk.<\/p>\n<p>Overnight in the US, stocks fell as financials led declines after JPMorgan warned that Trump\u2019s proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates would hurt the economy and squeeze profitability across the sector. The Dow fell 0.80%, the S&#038;P 500 slipped 0.19%, and the Nasdaq eased 0.10%.<\/p>\n<p>Visa dropped 4.5%, Mastercard fell 3.8%, and the financial sector sank 1.8%, with JPMorgan ending down 4.2% even after posting a better-than-expected quarterly profit alongside a decline in investment banking fees.<\/p>\n<p>Oil surged on geopolitical tension and gold pushed to new highs, and traders also took in an inflation reading that matched expectations, a combination that kept rate cut bets alive even as risk markets recalibrated.<\/p>\n<p>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKQgKIiNDQklTRkFnTWFoQUtEbU55ZVhCMGIyNWxkM011WTI5dEtBQVAB?ceid=US:en&#038;oc=3\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                            <svg width=\"20\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 16\" fill=\"none\">\n                            <path d=\"M19.6 5.36C19.6 5.48 19.6 5.66 19.54 5.78L17.2 12.8V5.6C17.2 4.94 16.66 4.4 16 4.4H12.82L12.52 3.8L11.86 2.36L15.34 3.32L18.58 4.16C19.18 4.28 19.6 4.82 19.6 5.36Z\" fill=\"#FF4131\" \/>\n                            <path d=\"M15.4 0.799997V3.26L11.92 2.3L11.74 1.88C11.44 1.28 10.72 0.979997 10.12 1.22L4.59998 3.38V0.799997C4.59998 0.499997 4.89998 0.199997 5.19998 0.199997H14.8C15.1 0.199997 15.4 0.499997 15.4 0.799997Z\" fill=\"#03A846\" \/>\n                            <path d=\"M12.82 4.4H4.00002C3.34002 4.4 2.80002 4.94 2.80002 5.6V11.42L0.520024 6.5C0.460024 6.26 0.400024 6.08 0.400024 5.9V5.84C0.400024 5.3 0.700024 4.82 1.24002 4.64L4.60002 3.32L10.06 1.22C10.72 0.979997 11.44 1.28 11.68 1.88L11.86 2.3L12.52 3.74L12.82 4.4Z\" fill=\"#FDBD04\" \/>\n                            <path d=\"M17.2 5.59999V14.6C17.2 15.26 16.66 15.8 16 15.8H4.00005C3.34005 15.8 2.80005 15.26 2.80005 14.6V5.59999C2.80005 4.93999 3.34005 4.39999 4.00005 4.39999H16C16.66 4.39999 17.2 4.93999 17.2 5.59999ZM9.40005 9.79999H7.00005V11H7.90005C7.60005 11.36 7.18005 11.6 6.70005 11.6C5.86005 11.6 5.20005 10.94 5.20005 10.1C5.20005 9.25999 5.86005 8.59999 6.70005 8.59999C7.12005 8.59999 7.48005 8.77999 7.78005 9.01999L8.62005 8.17999C8.14005 7.69999 7.48005 7.39999 6.70005 7.39999C5.20005 7.39999 4.00005 8.59999 4.00005 10.1C4.00005 11.6 5.20005 12.8 6.70005 12.8C7.90005 12.8 8.86005 12.08 9.22005 11C9.34005 10.7 9.40005 10.4 9.40005 10.1C9.40005 9.97999 9.40005 9.91999 9.40005 9.79999ZM14.8 7.39999H10.6V8.59999H14.8V7.39999ZM16 9.79999H10.6V11H16V9.79999ZM14.8 12.2H10.6V13.4H14.8V12.2Z\" fill=\"#0284FE\" \/>\n                            <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                                    Follow us on Google News                                    <\/a>\n                                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/bitcoin-price-asian-stocks-open-higher-wall-street-slips-asia-market-open\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Blythe Michaud<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asia Market Open: Bitcoin Jumps 5% To $95K, Asian Stocks Open Higher After Wall Street Slips Crypto Reporter Shalini Nagarajan Crypto Reporter Shalini Nagarajan Part of the Team Since Jan 2024 About Author Shalini is a crypto reporter who provides in-depth reports on daily developments and regulatory shifts in the cryptocurrency sector.
