Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Spike On Trump-Xi Meeting Optimism: Analyst Says BTC Will Show 'Strength' Again After This Crucial Level – Benzinga

Leading cryptocurrencies rallied alongside stocks on Thursday after the White House confirmed a meeting between President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.
Bitcoin hit an intraday high of $111,288.59, but failed to push beyond, falling back into the $110,000 zone. Trading volume dropped 30% in the last 24 hours.
Ethereum oscillated in the $3,800-$3,900 range, while trading activity remained on the lower side. XRP and Solana also gained momentum.
Liquidations hit $225 million in the last 24 hours, with over $130 million in bearish shorts positions erased from the cryptocurrency market, according to Coinglass. 
Bitcoin's open interest spiked 2.08% over the last 24 hours to $69.38 billion. However, since the month began, the open interest has plummeted by nearly 17%.
"Fear" sentiment prevailed in the market, according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.
Top Gainers (24 Hours) 
The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.71 trillion, following an increase of 2.25% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks rallied on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 144.20 points, or 0.31%, to finish at 46,734.61. The S&P 500 jumped 0.58% to close at 6,738.44, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite finished up 0.25% at 22,941.80.
The rebound came after the White House confirmed that Trump will meet Xi next week in South Korea, fuelling investors' optimism amid trade tensions between the two countries 
Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant noted that the Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio has fallen to 0.992, its lowest level since April.
The indicator, which measures realized profit or loss for short-term investors, suggested that weak hands were currently selling their BTC at a loss.
"A decisive reclaim and hold of the STH-SOPR above the 1.0 level would be necessary to confirm a bullish trend shift," CryptoQuant stated.
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe said Bitcoin would "chop" until key macroeconomic data such as the Consumer Price Index and the Federal Reserve policy meeting next week.
"This cycle is far from over and I think we’ll start to see more strength, again, when Bitcoin breaks north of $112,000 as a crucial level," the analyst projected.

Louvre thieves’ slow-motion getaway using furniture lift was caught on video – The Guardian

Footage showing two men appears to have been filmed from nearby window in museum
The slow-motion getaway of two thieves from the Louvre clutching €88m (£76m) of France’s crown jewels was captured on video, it has emerged – the latest dramatic twist to the country’s most spectacular heist in decades.
The 36-second clip, which Le Parisien newspaper said it had verified, shows two men dressed in black, one wearing a yellow hi-vis vest and the other a motorcycle helmet, slowly descending on a furniture lift from the museum’s Apollo gallery.
It appears to have been filmed from a nearby window in the museum, looking on to the Quai François Mitterrand where the thieves had earlier parked a stolen truck with a 30-metre (90ft) extendable ladder and basket lift that they used to access the first-floor gallery.
“The individuals are on scooters,” a voice – possibly that of a security guard – is heard to say, apparently into a walkie-talkie. “They are going to leave, they are going to leave.” Seconds later, the men can be seen heading off on two scooters.
“They are leaving,” the male voice then says, while a different voice exclaims: “Damn, there we go – the police.”
Two of the four-man gang broke into the gallery at 9.30am on Sunday, shortly after the museum opened, smashing an apparently unsecured window and then using disc cutters to open two display cases containing the jewellery.
They made off with eight pieces including an emerald and diamond necklace that Napoleon I gave his second wife, Marie Louise, and a diadem that once belonged to the empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III.
French media have estimated the operation took less than seven minutes, with the two men who entered the gallery inside for 3 minutes and 58 seconds. France’s interior minister, Laurent Nuñez, has said more than 100 investigators are on the case.
Questioned by senators on Wednesday, the director of the world’s most visited museum, Laurence des Cars, acknowledged a “terrible failure”, admitting there was “highly insufficient” security camera coverage of the outside walls of the vast building.
