BTC and ETH Market Insight
With intermittent war news stimulating the market, Bitcoin (BTC) consolidated before its recent rally and is now stabilizing above $75K. While bulls are eyeing the $80K resistance, some technical indicators suggest this may be a completion zone for the current move. Ethereum (ETH) remains restrained, having recently reached a high of $2.4K before retreating to $2.3K; it currently faces a potential resistance pivot at $2.5K. Solana (SOL) has underperformed, struggling to reclaim the $90 level after breaking below it amid significant selling pressure.
The resurgence in both stock and crypto markets suggests investors are cautiously adopting a 'risk-on' stance, largely driven by the announcement of a fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran. However, with the truce expiring soon and tensions remaining high in the Strait of Hormuz, the situation is far from settled. Investors should remain vigilant rather than succumb only to FOMO, as the upcoming BOJ interest rate decision on Thursday and the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, alongside US PCE data, will likely act as critical market movers.
