Bitcoin’s October price rise suggests near-term crypto bull run amid regulation

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are shooting up the charts this week, continuing their break-away pattern from the stock market over the last month.

Talk of Trump 2024 run builds as legal pressure intensifies

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump was calling into yet another friendly radio show when he was asked, as he often is, whether he’s planning a comeback bid for the White House. “We need you,” conservative commentator Dan Bongino told the former president. “Well, I’ll tell you what,” Trump responded. “We are going to make you very happy, and we’re going to do what’s right.” It was a noncommittal answer typical of a former president who spent decades toying with presidential runs….
