There is no doubt that the US stock market has struggled throughout the first few months of the year. Indeed, companies have faced plummeting share prices amid ongoing economic uncertainty. Although it has been affected, Nvidia (NVDA) is poised to get a $320 billion boost in 2025, as the ongoing sell-off hasn’t hindered its growing upside.

As bitcoin’s (BTC) price has fallen since Donald Trump took office, it is converging toward the corporate cost basis at Strategy. Michael Saylor’s giant BTC holding company owns 499,226 coins acquired for an average of $66,360 apiece. Today, a concerningly slim, 27% cushion separates BTC’s declining price from the company’s cost basis. For years, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) enjoyed a generous price cushion between BTC and its prior purchases. For example, in celebration of Trump’s January 20 inauguration, BTC hit an all-time high of $108,786 — 73% above Strategy’s average purchase price of $62,691 at the time. There have been even better times, such as 2021 or mid-2024, when the price of BTC was more than double Strategy’s cost basis. However, crypto entered a bear market shortly after Trump entered the White House. The president continued to promote memecoins, declined proposals for buying Saylor’s recommended 4 million BTC or Cynthia Lummis’ recomme...

Despite the suppressed price movement, several digital assets are exhibiting increased buying pressure that has elevated them into overbought territory, historically serving as a precursor to price corrections. While short-term traders might still find opportunities in such an environment, the risk of a downturn from the overbought conditions outweighs the potential rewards, hence the need to avoid the following two cryptocurrencies next week.

1. Trump Family in Talks to Acquire Stake in Binance US, CZ Seeks Pardon link According to the Wall Street Journal, representatives of President Trump’s family have held negotiations regarding an investment in the US subsidiary of cryptocurrency exchange Binance. CZ has been urging the Trump administration to pardon him. The negotiations began last year when Binance contacted Trump’s allies and proposed a business deal with the Trump family. It remains unclear how the Trump family’s shares would be held if the deal is reached, or whether it is contingent upon a pardon. Insiders said that potential scenarios include the Trump family taking a stake directly or making the deal through World Liberty Financial. Some insiders said that Steve Witkoff, an old friend of Trump and currently his chief negotiator in the Middle East and the Ukraine war, is involved in the deal negotiations. However, CZ tweeted, denying the Wall Street Journal’s report about his discussions with the Trump family reg...

At 9am today, five Wall Street Journal journalists published a claim that Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is seeking a presidential pardon from Donald Trump . Their reporting acknowledges CZ’s completion of a four-month prison sentence and claims that unnamed sources familiar with the matter believe CZ has pushed forward with his request despite already serving a sentence. Although the reporters do not speculate on other misdeeds, a US president has the sole authority to preemptively pardon for crimes for which an individual does not yet have a conviction. Per Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the US Constitution and Supreme Court precedent in Ex parte Garland (1867), the president wields “unlimited” pardoning power applicable to “every offence known to the law,” even “before legal proceedings are taken.” In addition, Wall Street Journal reporters claim that Binance wants the Trump family or one of its entities, like World Liberty Financial, to invest in Binance.
