12:06 09/21 UTC — Bullish
Financial markets opened the week on a strong bullish note driven by Bitcoin surging to $85,000, lifting crypto-exposed equities such as MSTR and COIN. Speculative interest spiked in rare-earth miners like CRML following headlines regarding a U.S.-Denmark Greenland agreement. Broad market indices are displaying pre-market strength, though traders remain cautious of potential intraday gap-fill pullbacks.
