BTC Fails To Break Through Resistance
Bitcoin saw positive momentum earlier in the week, peaking near $89,000 on Monday. However, it couldn’t break through resistance and consolidated between $86,000 and $88,000 before dropping below that range on Friday.
It then fell to $83,500, losing all gains for the week and currently sits just under $84,000, with a market cap of $1.665 trillion. BTC’s dominance, however, has risen to 59.1%.

Other Markets
Stocks continued their downward slide this week, with the S&P 500 dropping another 2% on Friday after President Trump imposed tariffs on imported vehicles, further weakening the dollar and stirring uncertainty in the markets. U.S. employers are also slowing down hiring as the tariff policy clouds the economic outlook.
