XRP Price Watch: Eyes on $5 Breakout if $3.66 Resistance Falls

A tentative calm settled over global markets on Monday as Washington and 
Beijing agreed to push their tariff truce out by another 90 days. The news was 
a welcome relief, at least in the crypto front, as Bitcoin traders set their 
sights on the next target: $120,000 Related Reading: Bitcoin’s New Clock: How 
Wall Street Killed The Old Cycle, According To Expert Talks resume in 
Stockholm, with both sides saying they won’t slap on new duties during that 
window. It’s a relief for companies reeling from duties on more than $700 
billion in goods since 2018. Third Round Talks Underway According to reports, 
negotiators will build on meetings in Geneva and London. They plan to tackle 
old fights over tech rules, digital services and forced transfers of know‑how. 
Business leaders have already paused major moves, waiting to see if the break 
holds. A fresh round of face‑to‑face diplomacy seems meant to avoid sudden 
shocks to farms, factories and supply chains. Early signals from Beijing 
suggest a willingness to talk, even as economic growth slows at home. In the 
last trade round, tariffs jumped to highs of 25% on key items like 
semiconductors and soybeans. Now both sides seem to be testing whether a 
temporary stop can become a stepping stone to deeper fixes. China Raises 
Fentanyl Tariff Issue A new wrinkle in the discussions involves 
fentanyl‑related chemicals. Based on reports, China wants US President Donald 
Trump’s administration to lift duties on certain precursors used in opioid 
production. Beijing argues that those taxes are making it harder to track 
illegal shipments, even as overdose deaths surge in the US. American officials 
have blamed Chinese suppliers for feeding a crisis that kills tens of 
thousands each year. In retaliation, Washington hit chemical imports with 
extra levies. Now China is pushing for a shift toward sharing lab data and 
law‑enforcement tips instead of sticking with punitive charges. Washington 
faces a tricky choice. Domestic pressure is intense, with voters demanding 
tough action on both drugs and trade ahead of a high‑stakes election. Bitcoin 
Up As Businesses And Markets On Edge Markets reacted quietly at first. Stocks 
held near flat lines, while traders eyed the pause as a temporary balm. 
Cryptocurrencies, however, showed more drama. Bitcoin jumped to $119,380—up 2% 
over 24 hours—even though daily volumes fell by 8.7% to $50 billion. Related
