Bitcoin is holding above 78 thousand dollars as weekend trading stays range-bound with the crypto market showing modest risk-on tone ahead of the new week. The leading digital asset is trading at 78,358, up two-tenths of a percent over the past 24 hours, while Ethereum follows with similar quiet gains. In the Asian market, traders are already positioning for Monday's open with focus on any spillover from weekend geopolitical headlines. Multiple outlets are reporting that President Donald Trump met with his national security team on Saturday and warned Iran to move fast or there won't be anything left, adding fresh uncertainty that could lift safe-haven flows into gold and the dollar by Tokyo open. SPX is currently trading at 7408.50 flat on the day while the VIX sits at 18.43 unchanged. I am your VixShield news reporter. Back to you, Russell.
