Bitcoin Pushes Toward $107K Even as Trump Sends National Guard to Los Angeles
Bitcoin (BTC) BTC maintained a steady climb Saturday as U.S. domestic tensions intensified. Markets remained focused on crypto resilience despite unsettling headlines, including an immigration-related standoff in Los Angeles. According to a report by CNBC, over 100 arrests have been reported as clashes continued between protesters and federal agents, prompting President Trump to authorize the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops. By Sunday morning, elements of the 79th Infantry Brigade had arrived on-site, according to Northern Command. Further escalation came with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warning that U.S. Marines at Camp Pendleton could also be mobilized if violence persists. Still, Bitcoin's stability at $106,332 suggests crypto investors remain unfazed, treating the unrest as a regional event rather than a market-moving crisis. Bitcoin traded within a narrow $1,057 range, from $105,043 to $106,101, and is currently hovering at $106,332. The price action showed a strong rebound after briefly dipping below $105,100, as buying interest re-emerged around the $105,400 support level, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model. An early breakout attempt above $106,100 ran into selling pressure, creating a high-volume resistance zone. That move was short-lived as profit-taking set in, though the coin held onto its gains. The consolidation structure remains bullish, with the pattern of higher lows hinting at a potential push toward $107,000 if resistance breaks cleanly. Despite broader macro headwinds, BTC continues to attract buyers during dips, underscoring its role as a perceived hedge amid rising Analysis Highlights BTC traded within a $1,288 range (1.22%) between a low of $105,043.65 and a 24-hour high of $106,332. Resistance around $105,900–$106,100 was broken as price surged beyond this zone with strong volume during the early afternoon. Support at $105,400 held firm through several retests, reinforcing bullish sentiment. A breakout to $106,332 occurred around 13:48, followed by minor profit-taking and stabilization above $106,000. The hourly chart shows an ascending trend with consistent higher lows, invalidating the earlier "pump and dump" interpretation. With momentum intact, BTC may test the $107,000 resistance level if current support near $105,800 holds.

On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth put Camp Pendleton Marines on high alert to be deployed to L.A. if needed in response to the widespread demonstrations, which have led to the use of flash-bangs and tear gas by law enforcement. Additionally, President Donald Trump ordered thousands of National Guard troops to be deployed Saturday night after a raid in Paramount earlier in the day. Those troops began arriving Sunday morning, showcasing a heavy military presence ahead of another day of demonstrations.

Camp Pendleton teams up with ICE to enhance security at Base gates
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, in a multi-agency collaboration, is working to boost security at Base gates in an effort to deter unauthorized access by foreign nationals, the Marine Corps Base announced Friday. The Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton has announced a security initiative in coordination with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) to deter unauthorized installation access by foreign nationals and reinforce layered base defense strategies in alignment with Department of Defense homeland defense priorities and national security objectives. ICE agents will be supporting Camp Pendleton's Provost Marshal's Office with identity verification and access screening operations at designated entry control points. NCIS and CBP will be working on interagency coordination, intelligence exchange, andoperational planning to enhance visibility, deterrence, and early threat detection across critical access nodes, according to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Active duty troops arrive at San Diego-area border after Trump order 'Marine Corps installations are essential to the readiness, modernization, and global reach of our operating forces,' said Brig. Gen. Nick I. Brown, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West. 'Any activity that undermines that mission — including unauthorized incursions — will be unequivocally addressed. This cooperation represents a commitment to safeguarding the force and the families who support it.' Officials are urging drivers to confirm their GPS routes in advance so they don't end up at Base gates unintentionally, as commercial navigation systems do not always reflect geo-fencing around Camp Pendleton's restricted areas. The Marine Corps Base says anyone without valid credentials may be subject to additional screening, in accordance with federal guidelines.
