They crypto bull move continued into the weekend thanks to a trio of positive macro developments.

Likely most responsible for the move was a President Trump Truth Social post regarding trade talks being held in Switzerland between the U.S. and China.

"A very good meeting today," said Trump. "Many things discussed, much agreed to," he continued. "A total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner. We want to see, for the good of both China and the U.S., an opening up of China to American business. GREAT PROGRESS MADE!!!"

Earlier Saturday, Trump also announced a "full and immediate" ceasefire in the brewing war between India and Pakistan.

Completing the trio of good news, Russian President Putin said he was "in the mood for serious talks with Ukraine," and suggested talks "without preconditions" in Turkey next week.

Bitcoin (BTC) rose to just a few dollars short of $105,000 before pulling back to the current $104,500, ahead 1.5% over the past 24 hours. Ether (ETH) has continued its recent outperformance, up 7.7% over the same time frame.
