Bitcoin surged to a 10-day high of $85,900 on Thursday, March 20, ahead of US President Donald Trump’s speech at Blockwork’s crypto digital asset summit. During his remarks, Trump reaffirmed his support for the crypto industry and highlighted his commitment to advancing the proposed Crypto Strategic Reserve initiative. However, with much of this sentiment already factored into recent rallies, his comments failed to spark fresh bullish momentum. Meanwhile, Bitcoin market sentiment has weakened to levels not seen since January 2023, according to CryptoQuant.
