⚠️ Alert! Crypto Goes Wild. Don’t Get Left Behind!

Will You Ride the Wave?

📰 BullRun Weekly: Bitcoin, Stocks, and Energy Shifts

Politics Meets Crypto: The digital asset world is buzzing as former U.S. President Donald Trump kicks off his second term with a surprise: the launch of $TRUMP, a meme coin with a market cap topping $10 billion. Not to be outdone, Bitcoin smashed records, marking a historic moment in the crypto space this week.

Crypto at McDonald’s? In a plot twist worthy of a reality TV finale, the $TRUMP token is now accepted via Oobit’s crypto payment app for purchases, including at McDonald’s. Yes, you could pay for your Big Mac with $TRUMP—because nothing says “Make America Great Again” like buying fries with crypto.

Oil: Trump Turns the Tap? Meanwhile, oil markets are on edge after Trump declared a national emergency to boost U.S. energy production. Brent crude edged up slightly to $78, but the week saw a 3% decline, the worst since November. Trump’s call for increased output has rattled OPEC, which is standing firm on long-term stability. Russia’s alignment with OPEC+ complicates Trump’s plan, leaving markets to watch for geopolitical sparks.

Tesla’s AI Pivot: Tesla also grabbed headlines, with analysts predicting a shift from EVs to AI and autonomous driving. CEO Elon Musk’s growing ties to Trump include leading the new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE—yes, really). With Tesla deliveries down in 2024, Musk is banking on AI to reignite growth. Investors are cautious but intrigued, wondering if Tesla can pivot while navigating this unpredictable political alliance.

The Verdict?
From Bitcoin’s record rally to $TRUMP-funded fries, Tesla’s AI ambitions, and oil market upheaval, the financial landscape feels like a blockbuster sequel. Traders, brace yourselves—this wild ride has only just begun.
