The post Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Majors See Profit-Taking After Weeklong Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Major tokens such as dogecoin (DOGE), cardano (ADA), and solana (SOL) slipped more than 5% in the past 24 hours as traders moved to lock in some profits after a strong week-long rally.

Crypto followed, with bitcoin briefly topping $104,000 and ether climbing to $2,700 — before both ran into resistance. “China’s tech sector earnings surged in the wake of the US-China trade deal announcement, leading investors to hope for increased investments and innovations like AI last year,” Haiyang Ru, Co-CEO of the HashKey Exchange Business Group, said in a Telegram message. “Additionally, a monthly report revealed that US inflation was lower than expected, adding more fuel for a continued bull run in the markets,” Ru said.…
