The crypto market shows continued bullish momentum today, with Bitcoin reaching as high as $105,606 before witnessing a push back to the $103K range. 

Ahead of the weekly opening in U.S. stock markets, the overall bullish momentum is sustained today with various analyses expecting newer highs in leading crypto assets. 

In a quick spike earlier today, supported by positive U.S.- China trade news, Bitcoin price reflected a strong market optimism, with it hitting as high as $106K on leading crypto exchanges. The move was also followed by significant exchange withdrawals, signaling investor confidence in long-term holding. 

Ethereum, which is continually surging since the past 4 days, had a halt in the $2,500 range, although it briefly touched $2,600 in multiple breakout attempts. Currently trading at approximately $2,549, ETH surged as high as $2,609, driven largely by whale activity and market enthusiasm.
