Today, the stock market shows mixed signals with a slight upward trend in key indices driven by gains in Power Grid and HDFC Bank, but underlying concerns about pension funds inflating a potential bubble remain. In the crypto space, Bitcoin is gaining momentum, confirmed by bullish divergence and a surge in retail buying, pushing it towards the critical $71k resistance level, while Ethereum faces bearish pressure below $1,900 as concerns about liquidity persist. However, the rise in crypto turnover in Russia and the expansion of regulatory frameworks, like OKX’s new European license, signal a growing institutional interest, even as the darker side of crypto’s association with illicit activities looms large. Overall, while there are bullish indicators in crypto, the volatility and external pressures warrant caution.
